My name is Liz, and I'm a certified postpartum and newborn care doula based in New York City. I came to the U.S. from Brazil, and my path into this work grew naturally from years of caring for families up close — first as an au pair, then as a nanny, and eventually as a doula. What I found along the way is that the fourth trimester is one of the most transformative seasons of a person's life, and it deserves real, unhurried support. I show up for every family with warmth, expertise, and a genuine commitment to making sure no mother feels alone during that time.

My best friend asked me to be "her doula" 17 years ago. I flew to LA and planned to be there for 10 days in hopes the baby would come in that window of time. I sang and whispered into her belly and Introduced myself to her baby. We had quite a time during the labor as her midwives guided her through the experience. She was incredible! She chose a home birth which ended at the hospital. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Witnessing the birth was transcendent and inspiring! When I flew back to NYC, I vowed that when our youngest daughter was in college, I would become a Doula. I grew up in Minnesota. I graduated with a BFA from the acting program at the University of North Carolina School of the Performing Arts. I have a background in dance, singing, yoga and martial arts. I was an American Council of Exercise certified personal trainer for 12 years. When I became pregnant, becoming a certified prenatal trainer was ideal. I especially loved working with all my pregnant clients. Having an online health and wellness business with Arbonne International has been another passion of mine. Over the years, I have coached a team on how to build their own online businesses and shared this opportunity in a public speaking setting for large groups. I teach my clients the benefits of aligning with a vegan brand they can trust and the value of choosing a B corporation, and living a more green lifestyle.

I hold a certification in Diversity Equity and Inclusion. I am also first aid, AED/CPR certified for pediatric and adults through the Red cross. Being present, and relying on my emotional intelligence, knowledge and discernment, helps me to navigate how to best listen and anticipate a person's needs. I embody joyful humor as my way to serve others. I bring warm energy, passion and authenticity to the people I spend time with. I'm a lifelong student who loves to learn, grow and collaborate. I believe these qualities, as a birth team member, contribute to the overall outcome and experience of all involved. I live in Harlem with my husband. We have two daughters. Hobbies: singing in choir, biking, and lifting weights. I also enjoy baking, reading and traveling. I love conversations over dinner with my husband and friends, and going to the theater and jazz clubs. Walking in nature each day is key to living in my joy, and of course, fitting as many plants and flowers into our home as humanly possible!

My experience as a Doula dates back to when I supported family and friends, unknowingly providing post-partum and supportive care. I've worked in the healthcare field for 15 (+) years at various hospitals & clinics, specifically in women's reproductive health. Having worked in both the private & public sectors of healthcare, I realized I wanted to not only support but advocate for those who could not speak out for themselves, all while being a source to women that needed resources.

Each family's dynamics presented unique challenges, and I have come to appreciate that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care. By actively listening and tailoring my support to meet their specific needs, I have been able to foster a nurturing environment that empowers parents and promotes the well-being of their newborns.

If you’re a woman or birthing person of color feeling dismissed, unsure, or overwhelmed—you’re in the right place. This journey is yours. I’m simply here to hold space, answer your questions, and make sure you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way. ​ Random Facts: I've supported births at Katz Women's Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Hungtinton Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital.

Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Dalia, and I am a postpartum doula based in NYC. My path to this work began with my own postpartum experiences as a mother of two. The immense joy, the exhaustion, and the emotional ups and downs transformed me in ways I could never have anticipated. During that time, I became deeply aware of how often new parents are not supported in meaningful, holistic ways—how easy it is to feel alone in a season that requires so much care and community. That realization is what inspired me to pursue this work. As a postpartum doula, I support new parents as they navigate the complexities of the postpartum period with care and understanding. Alongside emotional support and a steady, nonjudgmental presence, I offer hands-on help with newborn care, feeding support, light household tasks, and creating rhythms that feel sustainable for your family.

I believe every parent deserves to feel seen, held, and supported during this tender chapter, and I would be truly honored to walk alongside your family as you welcome new life and find your footing in this new season. I look forward to connecting.
