About me

I passionately serve our Greater Rochester, NY area as your community Birth Doula! I bring a calm confidence to birthing people, partners and their families during their pregnancy, labor and birth journeys. I love supporting my community through creating living birth plans with my clients, providing evidence-based coping skills and empowering birthing people with knowledge, resources and compassionate care! When I'm not attending a birth you will find me enjoying the Rochester Public Market, local coffee shops around town as well as hiking with my husband and our Dalmatian. Supporting you during pregnancy and throughout your fourth trimester is my life's work, and it is beautiful!!

Service introduction

Pregnancy: Together we will explore your vision for your labor, delivery and postpartum. Your doula will work with you to create a birth plan that meets your values, vision and personal needs. Your Doula will help to cultivate your vision all while providing support! Labor & Birth: We assist in gate keeping your labor space for the duration of your labor to ensure you can labor in a safe, calm and empowering environment! We promote movement during labor while also providing a wide variety of coping skills as you prepare to welcome baby into the world and bonding immediately. 4th Trimester/Postpartum: Our job isn’t done once delivery is over. We want your fourth trimester to be well supported after baby has arrived! We will stay in close contact with you after your birth to provide any assistance or resources you need for healthy recovery and support on your journey! Virtual Support: We strive to support growing families, even from a distance. Virtual options empower families before, during and after birth! Your doula will get to know you, your family and your vision as you navigate, prepare and plan for birth. We provide evidence based options to ensure you can make informed decisions along the way!

Joanna was the most supportive, insightful, and resourceful doula I could have asked for. In addition to being experienced in the birthing and medical field, she cares deeply about the client and their family, ensuring that their birth plan reflects all their wants and needs. When things couldn't go according to plan, having Joanna's wisdom and compassion was invaluable - my husband and I literally don't know what we would have done without her in many high pressure moments. The postpartum component to Joanna's services are equally valuable and have helped me tremendously in my physical/emotional healing, as well as the transition into the fourth trimester and beyond. Thank you, Joanna - may all moms be so lucky to work with you!
