I’m Franciska Farkas, a Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, integrative pelvic floor specialist, and Yoga, meditation, and breath work teacher of over 20 years. I serve clients in and out of hospital and provide fertility, pregnancy, labor, and postpartum support. My doula practice is grounded in evidence-based research as well as traditional practices from Ayurveda, the holistic medicine system of India. As a Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner I work with clients through my practice, GroundWork Ayurveda + Wellness, to reinforce the connection between food, mind, emotions, and spirit. I was brought to this work after a 20 year career as a professional video producer, editor, and camerawoman working with institutions like UNWomen and Johns Hopkins Medicine. My video production company Franciska Farkas Creative Projects was focused on promoting women’s health, gender rights, and environmental awareness. It’s through this diverse background that I weave my practice together for my clients. Let’s start working together💫

Bibi is a Mother, DONA Birth Doula, Postpartum Ayudoula, Yoga Teacher and a Health Coach based in the Hudson Valley, where she runs a sweet home yoga studio. Her work is rooted in years of experience supporting women from all paths of life and her own empowering, deeply transformative birth experience which sparked her calling to support other women on the journey of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Her passion for and knowledge of the pregnant woman’s physiology inform her well rounded practice. Bibi brings passion, encouragement and nourishing energy to all women that cross her path, empowering them through the most magical, difficult moments of labor and birth. She believes that pregnancy and birth are vital to the physical, emotional and spiritual health of children, parents, and our society as a whole and that the bond between children and their parents begins in the womb. The scope of her work is to create a strong foundation for pregnancy, birth and the postpartum time, through yoga, ayurvedic self care practices, nutrition and birth support.
