Rajah Ferdinand Birth & Postpartum Doula in Brooklyn, NY
About Rajah
Hi! I’m Rajah Ferdinand — a newly trained birth and postpartum doula based in NYC. I’ve completed certified postpartum doula training through A.N.E.W. Village at Kingsborough Community College, and I’m deeply passionate about helping families feel supported, informed, and truly cared for throughout birth and the early days of parenting. I offer a calm, nurturing presence, whether you need hands-on newborn care, emotional support, help with healing after birth, or a steady voice during labor. As a doula, my focus is on you — your voice, your choices, and your peace of mind. I’m currently accepting clients at sliding-scale rates as I grow my experience. If you’re looking for nonjudgmental, culturally aware, and affirming care, I’d love to connect with you and support your journey.
