Hi! I'm a NYC-based childbirth educator, birth doula, lactation counselor, director of the East River Doula Collective (a great source to find a doula -- fertility, birth, postpartum in NYC, Nassau County or Westchester), and creator/host of the BIRTH MATTERS podcast, which shares mostly NYC birth stories & fertility journey stories. I teach group & private, virtual or in-person classes, and also have an online/on-demand comprehensive childbirth course. It's been my passion since 2009 to provide growing families with customized and inclusive support, education and resources toward a beautiful and empowering journey into parenthood.

I provide: 1) Group childbirth classes (in-person or virtual, interactive) 2) Private birth and/or newborn care & feeding classes 3) Online/on-demand comprehensive course Group series & online course are comprehensive and cover childbirth, newborn care, breastfeeding/bodyfeeding & postpartum wellness classes/class series. I also run the Astoria Doula Collective and am happy to help New Yorkers find a great birth, postpartum, full-spectrum or fertility doula -- astoriadoulas.com
