Sure! Here’s a draft of your profile as a doula: Hi there! My name is Tessa Lee-Thomas, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate doula based in New York City. My journey into this work is rooted in my passion for supporting women and families through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. With a background in health and wellness, as well as experience as a fertility, postpartum and labor doula, my approach is all about empowering parents to feel confident, informed, and cared for during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I believe every birthing experience is unique, and my philosophy is centered on honoring your choices and intuition. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I’m here to provide emotional, physical, and educational support tailored to your needs. I focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment while equipping you with tools to advocate for yourself and your baby. Together, we’ll navigate this journey so you feel supported every step of the way. Let’s work together to create a positive and memorable experience for you and your growing family! In my free time, I enjoy diving into a thrilling book or show that keeps me on the edge of my seat. Staying active is also a big part of my life—I love kickboxing and hitting up SoulCycle classes to stay energized and strong.

As a fertility, birth, and postpartum doula, I offer comprehensive, compassionate support tailored to your unique needs throughout every stage of your journey to parenthood. My services begin with fertility support, where I provide guidance, emotional encouragement, and practical tools to help you navigate your path to conception. During pregnancy, I offer personalized birth planning, education, and preparation, ensuring you feel empowered and confident as you approach labor and delivery. On the big day, I provide continuous physical and emotional support, utilizing techniques like breathing exercises, positioning, and relaxation to help create a positive and empowering birthing experience. My postpartum services are designed to ease your transition into parenthood by offering hands-on support with newborn care, feeding, and emotional recovery. As a breastfeeding specialist, I provide guidance to help you meet your nursing goals while addressing any challenges that may arise. In addition to my doula work, I bring years of experience as a childcare provider, supporting children from infancy through adolescence. Whether you’re seeking someone to assist with sibling adjustment or simply need an extra pair of hands, I am here to help. My mission is to provide holistic, judgment-free care that nurtures your entire family during this life-changing time.
Highly recommend! We used Tessa for our newborn baby starting in March 2025 and she was with us for three months. Being a breastfeeding mom and also having a toddler, Tessa made our lives so much easier during the hectic and stressful postpartum time.
