Find a Birth or Postpartum Doula Near Me in New York

I would like to start off by saying Anna is the best. She provided quality care while explaining all of the steps of giving birth, vaginally and via c section. She listened in while the doctors explained to me what was going on, she also gave me the pros and cons of each step and told me that it's totally up to me. I should do what I wanted to do and not feel pressured. Anna is a great doula.

Working with Olga Zinner and her team at YourCherish was one of the most meaningful and supportive choices we made during our pregnancy. From our first conversation, we felt deeply cared for — not just as clients, but as a family stepping into a life-changing moment. We received both birth doula support and photography services, and the care was seamless, soulful, and incredibly thoughtful. Olga brings a calm, grounded presence that helped us feel safe, supported, and emotionally anchored throughout labor. Her team was equally kind, professional, and attentive — responsive with communication, gentle in their presence, and beautifully in sync. The photos and video we received were beyond what we imagined — raw, emotional, and full of light. Every detail, from preparation to postpartum follow-up, felt personal and intentional. If you’re looking for support that is truly heart-led and high-quality — this is it. Olga and the YourCherish team hold space with deep respect, quiet strength, and so much love. We’re forever grateful.

Kerrian helped take care of our new born daughter since Day 1 until about 3 months and I am eternally grateful that Kerrian was in our lives during this precious period. Kerrian has decades of experience with newborns and from Day 1 was able to understand the needs of our daughter and teach us how to take care of her (she is our first child). She was so gentle, loving and tuned into our daughters cues, it was remarkable. She was also very respectful of our choices and mature enough to not only take care of our daughter, but also us, especially me as a first time mother. She was emotionally supportive, gave me confidence on days I needed it and also helped me on my feeding journey. I cannot recommend Kerrian enough to any family. You would be lucky to have her be part of your child's life.

Chandel is a gem! She was communicative from the start, and went the extra mile when it came to insurance verification, which is usually an annoying process. She was such a calming and supportive presence during those overwhelming first few weeks with our newborn. Her steady reassurance, patience, and kindness made a huge difference for our family during a challenging transition. We felt genuinely cared for and supported every step of the way.

Booking Donnette’s postpartum doula services is one of the best decisions we have made as parents to our baby. Donnette is incredibly knowledgeable and has a calm, friendly presence that was simply a pleasure to have in our home. She helped us immensely in the first weeks of our baby’s life with caring for him day and night, answering all of our questions, creating schedules, setting up the many gadgets a baby requires and much, much more. Donnette helped us feel confident in our new role as parents and empowered us to trust our intuition. I must add that she was also so lovely with our rambunctious dog! We enjoyed our time with Donnette so much that we have even asked for some additional hours after her time with us completed. We highly recommend Donnette for her postpartum doula services and hope to work with her again for our next baby!

Having Dayle with us for the birth was such a gift. She brought a calm, steady energy while also being incredibly intuitive and present. I felt supported, heard, and never alone. She has a beautiful way of making you feel safe and cared for during such a big experience

I hired Crystal around 37 or 38 weeks pregnant. She’s like a ray of sunshine. She’s so supportive and knowledgeable in birth. She prayed with me from start to finish and really made my birth experience so calm and beautiful. She really lifted me up and encouraged me through my journey of welcoming my 6th baby into the world. She stayed with me for two days in the hospital as my labor stalled after my water broke. Over 55 hours of labor I had a successful VBA4C Breech Birth at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester Ny. I couldn’t have done it without Crystal Moran praying with me, loving on me, advocating for me, and guiding me and my husband both through contractions, uncertainty, and tears. She’s literally the best.

I had the privilege of having Shane as my doula during my pregnancy and childbirth, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the support, knowledge, and comfort she provided throughout this journey. From the moment we began working together, Shane's warm and calming presence made me feel supported and understood. She possesses a deep knowledge of childbirth and postpartum care, which she shared with me in our prenatal meetings, empowering me with information and confidence as my due date approached. Shane was incredibly responsive to my needs and preferences, always ensuring that my birth plan was respected and advocated for. During labor, her expertise and soothing demeanor were invaluable, providing both physical and emotional support that significantly contributed to my positive birthing experience. She knew exactly when to offer words of encouragement, when to give me space, and how to assist in pain relief techniques that made a significant difference in managing my labor pains. Postpartum, Shane's support was just as impactful. She visited us at home, offering advice on newborn care, breastfeeding, and adjusting to our new family dynamic. Her follow-up care and genuine concern for our well-being were beyond what I had expected, making the transition into parenthood much smoother and less overwhelming. Shane's passion for her work and her compassionate approach to supporting families during one of the most transformative times of their lives is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, empathetic, and truly dedicated to providing the best possible care. Thank you, Shane, for being an essential part of our journey into parenthood. Your impact has been profound and will be remembered fondly.

Kaleish was a phenomenal doula for me during my journey into motherhood. She provided my husband and I with excellent information and resources during my pregnancy and postpartum. She is also amazing with newborns and has such a calming, kind, and enlightening energy that really made me feel safe and cared for during labor. I absolutely recommend her! She is also gave us great techniques of how to advocate for ourselves in the hospital. Thank you Kaleish!

Tianni supported us for several weeks once our twins turned around 4 months old and were going through a tricky sleep phase. She helped us get over that hurdle and return to a really great rhythm. She was reliable and communicative. We were so grateful!

After finding out I was pregnant and wanting to be very intentional/confident for what the first 9 months were going to involve, I was fortunate to recieve information through the library about a doula who worked in my area. Elated to have found someone, I reached out to Jill. I met with both Jill and Elizabeth and got to learn more about what exactly a doula is and how they help a mother and her baby (while also honoring and educating the fathers walking this journey as well). First thing was that I saw was not only were these women so incredibly knowledgeable about pregnancy, labor, delivery, breastfeeding, postpartum, ect. they also deeply cared about their clients and look to find ways that ensure safety, trust, and joy throughout the mother's journey-always in the mother's corner. I appreciated all of the information they had and knew my husband would have more comfort moving forward with more education surrounding pregnancy and child birth. Through my pregnancy and labor, I went through really intense pain and had to pivot from what I originally wanted as my "labor and delivery wish". But both Jill and Elizabeth were there with us every step of the way and so encouraging and supportive through it all. Also stepping in at the hospital to ensure that I was as comfortable as I could be, making sure there were no students coming in, making sure I worked with women only, and that my care would be through someone who has done delivery before-things I would have never thought to have asked for in the midst of a very intense labor! But my son arrived after a very long labor, these women not leaving my side, and it was the best day of my life knowing how much work went into getting him here. I will forever be grateful for these two women and the care they gave us, alongside struggles with postpartum and being new (and exhausted) first time parents, to make sure that we felt supported as a new family through it all. I would HIGHLY recommend Birth Blessings Doula for any mama who is looking for sincere care and support in her decision for the birth that she wants.

Antasia was an incredible support for my husband and I when we needed overnight care for our newborn. After interviewing many people, we had been turned off by those who were strict about their approach and seemed to want to impose their practices on our family. As new parents, we needed tenderness and flexibility—someone who would care for our son at night and allow us to sleep peacefully knowing our son was safe and being tended to the way we choose to raise him. Antasia was a calm and responsive presence, working with us to adapt to changes as our newborn developed and we grew as parents. She was always on time and communicated proactively in the rare instance there was a scheduling issue. At the start of every visit she asked us what changed and what was new, which was helpful as newborns change on a weekly basis and so did our approach. We were always at peace knowing Antasia was coming. I also was able to recover from insomnia due to Antasia’s presence and my confidence in her to look after our child while we slept. Our only regret was not meeting her sooner so we could have had her with our family on day 1 coming home from the hospital.

I can't say enough great things about Jossy. We hired her as our postpartum doula for the first six weeks following the birth of my son. From the moment I first spoke with her, I was drawn to her easygoing attitude and comforting nature - I spoke with a number of doulas, and Jossy was the one I felt most at ease with. The conversation flowed naturally, and it was immediately clear how much she loves being a doula. Even though Jossy was only helping us with postpartum care, she was so sweet in sending regular check-ins leading up to my due date and giving tips and suggestions for issues I was dealing with. When I first met Jossy in person, I immediately felt completely comfortable around her and felt comfortable having her in our home and with our son. She quickly felt like a friend I could confide in and joke around with, which made all the difference in the first few weeks of postpartum. Jossy was so loving and sweet with our son, and it was so clear that she cared very deeply about his safety, wellbeing and happiness. After our overnights, she was always checking in to see how she was doing and offering ideas and suggestions of things to try with him. No matter how tired she was after back-to-back overnights, Jossy always arrived on time and with a smile. She was also so sweet with our high energy dog. Thank you Jossy for everything (and I wish we could have you to help us forever)!

Rachel is absolutely incredible! She helped us with overnight care for our newborn in a time of need. She is warm, kind, responsive, and devoted to her work. She is also a great communicator, and a delight to talk to! I highly recommend working with her <3

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)

We had the pleasure of having Chamaine support and guide us for the first five weeks after our daughter was born via C-section. As first-time parents returning home after a difficult pregnancy followed by a brief NICU stay, we felt very overwhelmed and anxious about entering the new phase of our lives. Chamaine was like a ray of sunshine entering our home, providing us with an instant sense of warmth and comfort. She made a concerted effort to connect with and care for our entire family, including our newborn daughter, our (extremely needy) dog, and both of us parents. We’ve gleaned so much valuable knowledge from Chamaine that we will surely carry with us throughout parenthood. We couldn’t have asked for someone more nurturing, responsible, thoughtful, and attentive to care for our daughter, and it brought us so much peace to know that she was in such great hands each day and night. We were so lucky to have had Chamaine as our baby nurse, and none of us (dog included!) could have gotten through this challenging adjustment period without her. We appreciate her tremendously and she will always be a very special part of our family!

Sophia was an amazing doula during my pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum experience.

Kesha was our family's night doula during the first few months of life for our son. She fundamentally changed the way we approached care during this time, and I question if we could have made it without her! Professionalism aside, Kesha became a part of our little family, and treated our son as if he were her own. She has a genuine care for children that is obvious the moment you meet her. The care goes beyond the baby though, as she assisted my wife through the early stages of breastfeeding as well. Trying to understand childcare through the internet is a daunting task and leads to more confusion than clarity - Kesha cleared 100% of that confusion up and set us on a path we wouldn't have found without her. We should have another baby just so we can spend more time with her!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support provided by Kayleigh throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment we connected, Kayleigh exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout every step of the way, Kayleigh was not just a doula but a true guardian of my well-being. She listened attentively to all my concerns, providing invaluable guidance and reassurance. Her depth of knowledge and experience in prenatal care was evident, as she addressed each of my worries with patience and understanding. What truly set Kayleigh apart was her unwavering dedication to ensuring my comfort and safety. Whether it was through informative discussions about childbirth options, practical advice on nutrition and exercise, or emotional support during moments of uncertainty, Kayleigh was there, offering her unwavering support. During labor and delivery, Kayleigh was an indispensable presence, providing calming reassurance and advocating for my needs every step of the way. Her soothing demeanor and encouraging words were a source of strength during the most intense moments, making the birthing process feel less daunting and more manageable. I cannot imagine navigating my pregnancy journey without Kayleigh by my side. Her expertise, compassion, and unwavering support were instrumental in making my experience as smooth and empowering as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayleigh to any expectant parent seeking a dedicated and compassionate doula who truly goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of her clients.

Francesca was an absolute godsend in our birthing process (vaginal, epidural, in hospital, low risk pregnancy with minimal complications) and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. Our connection to Francesca was unusually late - we were matched to her at 38 weeks of pregnancy but she made up for that rapidly. She used a quick virtual meeting to establish our birth preferences, and then used an in person meeting and offline content to give us techniques and guidance to feel prepared and supported in the short timeframe. During labor, Francesca struck a great balance between being there when we needed her guidance and support, but also knowing when we needed space either for mom herself or for the two of us. She helped with breathing techniques and positioning, reminded us to take time and not feel pressured in making decisions, and instilled confidence in us throughout. We couldn't be more grateful to have had Francesca for this life changing event, and would recommend her to any expecting couple.
