Cloe and Nadrina

Cloe

Cloe is a doula and a mother of one.  She is a native New Yorker that has a background in early childhood education and has worked in childcare for over 10 years.  After beginning the journey to start her family she fell in love with doula work.  Having support through birth and postpartum made Cloe want to be that support for other families.  She quickly found her passion as a postpartum doula and uses her background to help you in the transition to early parenthood.

Cloe is there to offer information and guidance during the “no one ever told me about this” parts of parenthood.  She uses current evidence based advice to help you through the early months of postpartum, she is also there as a companion to you during a time that can feel isolating. Cloe prioritizes mental health and self care in postpartum, she draws on her own experience to help clients normalize asking for help. As a mother herself she understands the value of support through anything from feeding schedules to postpartum healing.

Nadrina

Nadrina is a birth doula and certified lactation counselor in training whose approach is grounded in close and active listening. Nadrina appreciates that each family comes to the experience with their own set of circumstances, beliefs, and backgrounds, and that as a result each birth is unique. She will center your voice so she can meet your individual needs, provide you with compassionate and judgement-free support, and help you feel confident in your decisions.  

 Nadrina sees birth as a testament to the power of the mind, of the body, and sometimes of medicine. She is continually amazed by the process and honored to be a part of your experience.

 Nadrina lives in Prospect Heights with her roommates and her dog, Frank. In her free time, she enjoys long walks through the park with Frank, hosting dinner parties for friends, and tending her indoor herb garden. Prior to becoming a doula, Nadrina studied modern Middle Eastern history at Yale and worked in political and nonprofit consulting.

  • "I truly feel having Nadrina as my doula was meant to be. Right from our first interaction I knew I had made the best decision! She was kind and calm, which is something I needed as this was my first pregnancy. I had so much anxiety, worrying about possible troubles in the coming months! Nadrina was always validating my concerns and helped me see things in a true and positive light! She made my pregnancy and delivery a dream by making sure I was fully knowledgeable and addressed all of my questions. I wish everyone could have the same beautiful experience as I did!"

  • “Cloe was a pleasure to work with and absolutely fantastic with our newborn daughter. She was incredibly helpful and patient as she coached us and answered all of our questions through the early days of being new parents. Looking back, her support was an important and necessary part of our postpartum journey.”

  • "Nadrina is the best! Smart, friendly and non-judgmental! We only had 1 meeting before I unexpectedly had to be induced, but I already felt so comfortable with Nadrina. She supported me at the hospital for more than 24 hours without any complaints! She was a great advocate for me to ensure I had the birth experience that I wanted, despite the fact that things didn’t go exactly as planned. When I came home she made me the most delicious foods. It was so good I ate it for every meal for 2 days! Nadrina will definitely be my doula for my next birth! You will be in great hands with her without a doubt!"

  • “We worked with Cloe for overnight support for the first 6 weeks of our daughters birth in tandem with another night doula. We can’t say enough great things! Cloe was always on time, easy with scheduling, prioritized our sleep and rest, and gave us wonderful advice on how to handle an infant. She shared tips on everything from gas, to wake windows, to latching. Literally a walking baby encyclopedia! We are so grateful for her help and will be reaching out for our next baby!“
