Services: Birth Doula, Reiki Master, Pre & Post Natal Yoga Instructor, Parental Mentor Hello! My name is Josie Hart. I am a Certified Birth Doula, serving families in the Greater Capital Region of Upstate New York. I'm a mother of five, grandmother to one, and love what I do! I am passionate about helping pregnant people feel safe and empowered to make informed decisions regarding their bodies and their births. I believe every birthing person should have the autonomy to birth in their way and in their power. I am also a Reiki Master trained in Usui/Holy Fire® and Karuna Reiki® and certified to teach prenatal and postnatal yoga. I am grateful for the ability to teach as well as add Reiki energy healing, for those who would like, as a way to assist during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. When not supporting birth or working with Reiki, I enjoy my yoga practice, hiking trails in this beautiful Upstate NY area, or my most favorite pastime, spending time with my children, granddaughter, and extended family at my home. “…how a person is cared for and supported during birth is a major influence, not only in how they give birth but also in how they feel about the birth for years to come.” ~The Birth Partner

After the birth of my first daughter in 2011, I became passionate about breastfeeding and its advocacy. I had no idea how hard and isolating it would be and desperately wanted help and advice. We moved back to the Capital Region and I found La Leche League! This community of supportive, non-judgmental nursing families inspired me and I became an accredited Leader in 2017. Since then, I’ve been fervently learning about breastfeeding and human lactation. I earned the title of IBCLC in December 2022. I live in Averill Park, NY with my husband, two daughters, our two rescue cats, and a handful of chickens. I love gardening, cooking, cycling, running, pole vaulting, learning new things, and empowering families to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

I believe that you are the expert of your own body, and I am here to be a trusted source of evidence-based information and emotional support as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.
