Hello there !!! My name is Rita Buchanan and I am a birth Doula !! I have spent 17 years of my life working in Obstetrics and Gynecology. It was then when I realized my passion for birth work . Comforting , assisting and emotionally supporting woman and families has been very rewarding to me. As a former teen mom , now a mother of three and grandmother of two , I know how important it is to be a voice to those that feel unheard . To provide advocacy and hold space to those in need. To be apart of something much bigger than myself . This is my true calling . I love people and pray I get the chance to touch as many lives , through birth work and humanly possible. Every family I get to assist is my great joy ..

Hi, I’m April and I am so glad you are here! I am a lactation provider, infant bodyworker, and perinatal supporter with a background in psychology. Above all, I am a Mommy to two wild sons and one sweet daughter. I have dedicated my career to empowering and informing women alike on how to utilize their innate abilities to achieve optimal well-being for themselves and their babies. With a holistic approach, I provide comprehensive support and address concerns and challenges. I promote a positive and nurturing environment through active and empathetic listening. Understanding the importance of personalized care, I tailor my guidance to families’ unique needs, applying evidence-based practices and drawing from my extensive knowledge. I aim to educate and encourage mothers while offering solutions to common problems and ensuring a fulfilling transformation into motherhood. Whether addressing latch issues, correcting torticollis, or recognizing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, I have a genuine desire to help mothers succeed and obtain their goals. My commitment extends beyond our initial interaction, as I strive to build lasting connections with mothers as they confidently grow their families. It is an honor to get to work with the mother/baby DYAD and a privilege to witness each relationship thrive while navigating new norms and creating a beautiful, rewarding story.

Working with April has made such a difference in my postpartum period. I am so glad I decided to extend my learning by booking with April when my son turned 3 weeks old. I have learned so much after just a couple of sessions with April, and my experience with breastfeeding went from crying often, wondering if I could keep going to now thoroughly enjoying the process and what it gives to myself and my son. My son is 5 months and still breastfeeding beautifully today. April's approach considers the entire experience, baby's overall health, and mom's well being as well! She is extremely knowledgeable on a multitude of topics (both as a professional and as an experienced, nursing mother herself), she is very encouraging, and she is so empowering. She not only helps me problem-solve and find success as I navigate nursing, but she shows me that I already have the strength inside of me to do well and that I'm truly not alone. That has felt like the warmest hug as a first time postpartum mother, and patient care I really value. Not to mention that my son is always so calm with her! He receives craniosacral therapy treatment from her and I am always amazed at how relaxed he is during and after our sessions. Breastfeeding has brought up many questions for me but I have found many answers (and so much comfort) under April's guidance.

Seeking help can feel intimidating and most think, “Do I really need to speak to a stranger about this problem?” Taking that first step though can help you to learn some strategies for a lifetime. Having been a social worker for over 25 years, my approach is an eclectic one. My practice includes working with people who have a history of perinatal issues, death/dying, DV, and substance use. I work with people from the ages of 4 through seniors.

Hi! I’m Ariel. I am a postpartum fitness and nutrition coach. I am a certified Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist with a graduate degree in Exercise Science. I have been working in health and fitness for over 15years. I started my own business in 2021 after losing my job due to the pandemic. I am extremely passionate about working with postpartum women. My #1 goal when coaching women is to make them feel supported and understood. All too often women are sent home after giving birth with little to no information on how to properly rehab their bodies and their minds. We are left with losing our sense of self and not having anyone to help us find our way back. I not only help my clients meet their weight loss and body composition goals through nutrition and exercise, I offer emotional support, accountability, and encouragement. Losing my job was scary but it gave me the push to do what I went into health and fitness to do. I’m so happy to be a coach and mentor for postpartum women because you deserve support from someone who will truly listen and understand!

I’m a birth doula, certified hypno-doula, placenta encapsulator and mom. My first birth experience was a c section due to breech positioning, thankfully the second time around I’ve gained so much knowledge and experience that I went on to have a successful breech VBAC homebirth. I see pregnancy, birth, and the growth of a family as one of the most inspiring things about humanity. As a Doula, I feel honored to help women and their partners achieve their experience of a positive and healthy birth.

As a birth and postpartum doula, I am honored to share my story with you. My commitment to supporting and empowering families during the transformative experience of childbirth is deeply rooted in my own origin story. I am originally from Laredo, Texas, a city on the Texas-Mexico border. Raised in Mexican-American upbringings, I grew up on the frontera, minutes from the border. I moved to New York City in 2009 to attend New York University’s Steinhardt’s School Counseling and Guidance program. After living in Manhattan and Queens, I moved to the suburbs, Peekskill, NY in 2020. My birth and postpartum doula journey began during 2022 when I recognized the need for comprehensive, inclusive and compassionate support for expectant parents. Drawing from my personal birth experience as a woman of color, a mother and extensive knowledge as a certified doula, I set out to create a space that celebrates the beauty and strength of childbirth. Thus, Mariposa Doula Care was born in 2022. Outside of my doula work, I am an avid advocate for immigration, holding space for the BIPOC community and dedicating time to community education. My devotion to fostering a positive birthing experience extends to empowering families with knowledge and resources, ensuring they embark on their parenting journey with confidence. When not immersed in the world of birth and postpartum care, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter and discovering new outdoor spots in Westchester County. I aim to provide doula care to all families, all backgrounds including but not limited to: BIPOC, single parents, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent families.

I have taken Nia’s Prenatal Peek course and it was very helpful in preparing me for breastfeeding! Aside from being a Certified breastfeeding specialist and Speech Language Pathologist, Nia is a mom of 2 herself and very knowledgeable in these fields. She has helped me tremendously in the last few months as I have had many breastfeeding hiccups and without her help I may have given up but I am almost at 5 months on my breastfeeding journey. I definitely recommend her courses or just reaching out for a one on one consultation.
