A Message from

NYC Birth Village Co-founders

Our hope is for you to find the support you need to feel strong, the information you seek to feel confident and the compassion you deserve to feel well cared for. Through our classes, prenatal preparatory meetings, continuous birth support, and postpartum visits with lactation specialists, we are sure our doulas can help! We welcome and are excited to support families of all shapes and sizes and have ample experience in a variety of births: unmedicated and medicated births, VBACs, preemies, cesareans, home births, and twins. We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you find the support you need!

NYC Birth Village doulas

Our Team

Hand-picked, fully vetted, warm, hands-on and evidence-based doulas, ready to support you!

Doulas go through an extensive training and certification process.

Birth doulas receive education on the anatomy and physiology of the birth process, challenging birth scenarios, possible hospital interventions, physical and emotional support techniques, advocacy skills, initial postpartum time and more!

Postpartum doulas receive education on the physical and emotional recovery process after birth, infant feeding (breast, bottle, formula), lactation process, infant care, infant development in the early months, parenting philosophies, perinatal mood disorders, standards of postpartum support practice, and more!

Doulas continue their education through numerous workshops and seminars that are available in our community.

Let us be your constant source of reassurance,
education and care

What is a Doula?

In the past, we lived in communities where friends and family would tend to the birthing people and their families after. As our world and communities shift, we are called to fill the role of guide, believer, teacher of advocacy and friend to so many families.

“For the first couple months after our daughter was born, we never worried about cooking, but still got to enjoy delicious homemade meals. While she was cooking, Maria and I would talk through any questions or issues about breastfeeding or infant care, and while dinner was in the oven she would clean bottle and pump parts.  Imagine having a home chef who can also change diapers and soothe a fussy baby!”

Testimonials

“We spent a lot of time with the professionals from NYC Birth Village around the birth of my first child. Thanks to these lovely, warm, friendly, responsive, and caring ladies we were able to have the birth experience that we really wanted.”

-Helene Darmanin

“I went from a woman who doubted my body, my strength, my female power, because of everything that happened to make me lose faith in myself, and transformed into a woman that advocates for her wants. ”

-Kelly Jo Barber

“Their instinct alone is unrivaled; they knew what needed to be done, how it needed to be done and when it needed to be done. If only thank you's were enough. Highly, highly recommend!”

-Lee Landor

“In addition to helping me understand practical aspects of baby care, she also helped me process the huge variety of postpartum emotions that come along with a new child. On top of everything else, she is a very, very talented cook!”

- Lillian Coryn

“In all of our interactions with them, they were professional, reliable, and passionate about their work. My wife and I debated back and forth whether to get a doula, but after the baby came, we were extremely glad we did.”

- Rick Yuan
