Hi! I'm Sela (pronounced Say-lah) a certified birth doula affiliated with the National Black Doula Association in Westchester, New York. With having a strong commitment to celebrating diverse expressions of motherhood, I place a paramount emphasis on mental health within my work. Also dedicated to forming meaningful connections, I offer frequent phone support and in-person meetings, guided by my belief in the importance of a collaborative and adaptive birth team. Choosing to work with me means having an on-call guide, providing advice on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum choices. In unexpected situations, I become a trusted advocate, ensuring informed decisions and unwavering support. I bring a diverse skill set in childcare, lactation, birth support, herbalism, and comforting touch. My holistic approach guarantees that each person receives personalized care. Working with me means that you gain a dedicated ally, prioritizing your well-being, both physically and emotionally, within a supportive and informed environment.

Within my care you will be provided assistance with learning all your birthing options as well as pathways of preparation for your postpartum period. We will establish your birthing goals, practice breath work, positions, comfort measures, etc. As an herbal therapist I will asses your nutritional needs and make suggestions of teas, soaks, tonics, topical ointments, oils, or syrups to the extent of which you are comfortable. All suggestions should be consulted with your care provider before following. I will be there to support physically and emotionally throughout your labor, birth, and up to 2 hours after. I may also provide breastfeeding support within the scope of practice for a CLSC.
