What started as a normal practice of showing up to the houses of friends and family after the birth of a child has become a life calling for Mariangela. She has provided postpartum support to the parents of 10+ children in the last several years, and in January 2024 decided to open her own postpartum doula practice. A former tech executive, she knows how to work with busy, high-powered individuals during a tough and vulnerable time. She believes in a tailored approach to each family, acting as hands-on or hands-off as is needed in each situation.
