My journey to postpartum work was long and winding like postpartum itself. When I was pregnant with my daughter I knew due to location that my postpartum village would be slim. I took it largely upon myself to do what I could to prepare for that season with intention. I made meals, I organized visitors, we worked around my husband’s time off. It was the best we could do, and it was so special. A few weeks into my own postpartum, I was in the kitchen reheating a nutrient dense dinner when it hit me... “every mom deserves this.” With a baby sleeping on my chest and the timer going off, I had no direction forward, but from that moment the calling was placed on my heart. I pursued my postpartum training through Uncovering Birth in the fall of 2025 and I'm honored to be a vessel for this scared space to moms who are ready to rewrite the story.

I’m Larissa (she/ela/ella), a birth and postpartum doula based in Philadelphia, PA. My practice is rooted in the beliefs that birth is a sacred act of transformation, that birthing people hold innate wisdom in their bodies, and that we all deserve safe, affirming, size-inclusive reproductive healthcare.

I myself identify as queer and Latina. Eu falo português e adoraria trabalhar com famílias brasileiras. 🇧🇷 In my free time, I love to cook, read, journal, play volleyball, practice Pilates, and make pottery, and I’m passionate about weaving mindfulness, movement, and nourishment into birthwork in ways that uplift radiant, full-body joy.

For 3 years I worked as a child and school photographer traveling school to school in the tristate area. With all of this, I felt that I could best support families in a different way and decided to become certified as a Doula. I find comfort in supporting families in a comprehensive and holistic way. I look forward to opportunities to support any type of family in the community. When I am not working I enjoy backpacking, photography, and spending time with family.
