I hold many roles in life: I’m a mom, a wife, a yoga teacher, a dog mom, and a doctorate student. I was born in Indonesia and moved to NYC when I was 17 years old. Life has brought me through so many transitions, and right now, I’m experiencing one of the biggest—becoming an ibu (Indonesian for mother). I’m currently taking a gap year from my doctorate studies to fully embrace this new chapter and care for our baby girl. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me practicing yoga, exploring spirituality, getting lost in a good book, or discovering new restaurants and nature spots. I believe in slowing down, appreciating the present, and holding onto the little moments that make life special. So, if you're looking for someone to capture your story - the warm, raw, and real moments that feel like you, I’d love to be a part of it💛

I am Camila and I am a Postpartum Doula totally dedicated to help families welcoming their baby I am deeply dedicated to offering emotional and physical support to mothers and their families throughout the postpartum process. I am a compassionate and non-judgmental person who takes joy in helping families build confidence in their parenting roles. My dedication involves identifying the most effective methods to meet her clients' needs. Through my work as a Doula , I've noticed the difficulties parents encounter in getting their babies to sleep through the night. This is what led me to become a Sleep consultant. I believe that embodying the role of a Doula means being a friend, a confidant, and someone capable of guiding the family to stay focused on what truly matters.

I have always been passionate about doing work that provides deep, meaningful support. After years of working as a nanny, and my own experience in becoming a mother, I found the support for new parents to be nearly non-existent. When my kids were born I felt very unprepared and alone. I became a doula because I know how hard postpartum is. I know how it feels to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure of yourself as a new parent. I also know it doesn't have to feel that way. My business was brought to life because of my passion for helping new families not just survive those early postpartum days and weeks, but to thrive. You don't need to do this alone. As a new parent, you deserve as much nurturing care and community as your baby. I want parents everywhere to flourish during postpartum. You deserve to be heard, cared for, and allowed to rest. Being able to provide non-judgmental support, warmth, and ease some of the stress of those early days of parenthood is truly my passion and a dream come true. When I'm not caring for amazing families you'll find me enjoying my kids, our two cats, reading, and gardening.

Hello everyone, I’m Ligia Carvalho, a certified postpartum doula passionate about supporting families as they transition into parenthood. I believe the postpartum period is a time of deep transformation—one that should be met with care, rest, and reassurance. My approach is rooted in nurturing both baby and parents, offering hands-on support with newborn care, feeding, sleep rhythms, cooking and emotional well-being. Every family is unique, and I tailor my care to meet your specific needs, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and truly supported.

After retiring from a long career of working with children and families, I became a professional doula. I wanted to support and nurture birthing persons during this sacred time of their lives. I wanted to offer sacred holistic services to them, youth, and communities by partnering with them as they learn more about holistic reproductive wellness. I also wanted to educate them about the importance of preventive reproductive health care, maternal health justice, trauma-informed quality childcare, equity and advocacy, childbirth education and basic lactation support through coaching, training, and mentoring not only birthing persons but the community and new doulas. So, I immersed and dedicated myself to learning all that I could about how to support in this way. ​ I am the mother of two amazing adult sons and oftentimes reflect on my birthing experiences. They were both very different births but what helped me survive was the birthing team I chose and the village around me when I returned home and encourage those, I serve to embrace their community and build their village. ​ I am also a Childbirth Educator, an author, singer/songwriter, a Master of Ceremony and a speaker. I am a birth justice advocate that believes birth work is justice work and there is no way to separate one from the other!
