Federica is an Italian E-RYT 500hr Vinyasa and Prenatal Yoga Teacher. She has been teaching yoga for about 10 years. She is also a Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Lactation Counselor and Pilates Instructor. She offers Birth/Postpartum Services and Prenatal Yoga Classes. Federica is married to a French man with whom she shares four beautiful sons. She was born and raised in Milan but her dad is from Sicily and her mom is from Tuscany.

Federica has worked in fashion for many years until she discovered yoga and her life changed. After a few years of practice, she decided to become a teacher to help others live happier and healthier lives. When she had her first son, she became really passionate about pregnancy and birth so she decided to focus more on teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga classes. Shortly after, she became a doula so that she could go above and beyond preparing people’s bodies for birth. She provides emotional, physical and educational support to people during the full spectrum of pregnancy. Federica loves to meditate, read and spend time in Sicily by the sea.

  • "Fede was our doula for my second birth. We couldn’t have found a better doula! She trained me in yoga throughout my entire pregnancy preparing me for an extremely successful homebirth. I learned so much about my body by working with Fede, prenatal, during labor and postnatal. She is one of those magical people who is just naturally talented at what she does - this is truly her calling. She’s extremely kind and caring as well and was always checking in with me on things I would never think of for myself. She’s extremely thorough and a phenomenal support before, during and after birth. I had a natural home birth and with her support and instruction I was able to push my baby out much quicker than if she hadn’t been there. She’s very well versed in the human body musculoskeletal and how it operates which is priceless when you're in labor and pushing. She makes you feel so comfortable and empowered in your own body. Fede has a plethora of knowledge about breastfeeding and even helped me with my first son when I was not finding any of the right answers with several different lactation consultants. I successfully breastfed my first son for over 2 years thanks to Fede! We love Fede and will of course use her again for our third!"

  • "I am very happy and grateful that I had Federica as a key part of my experience, she took me through the birth of my beautiful son, not only as my doula, but also as my one and only birth partner. Throughout the lead up to, during and after, Fede supported my decisions, when I chose to have a c-section right through to having to make a complaint with the hospital. She gave her thoughts and advice but respected my choices always and I felt confident because she was with me. It was a very emotional experience having a baby without any family or partner present and I really felt that Fede understood the extra importance of her role with me on that special day. I appreciated her honest and candid opinions on all aspects of birthing, she isn’t someone who will just tell you what you want to hear. Thank you Fede!!"

  • "Federica helped me immensely in the postpartum period to get back to myself. She took me through nurturing yoga poses to stretch and relax my body. She helped me process my birth and gave me valuable insights into changing my thought process, which helped me to heal. Federica assisted me with nursing and ensuring that my baby was latching correctly right away. Most importantly, she was someone I could trust with my baby from the beginning. She watched my baby and made sure she napped and was cared for, which in turn allowed me to get some much needed rest. I'm so glad Federica was part of our village for this birth."

  • "I wanted to work with a doula because I wanted someone knowledgeable about navigating a holistic, physiological birth in an NYC hospital setting. I also wanted someone who brought a calm, nurturing energy who could help support my husband and I throughout the entire process; pregnancy, birth and postpartum. After weeks of searching and interviews we found Fede, and immediately knew she was the right choice, even better she lived on our block! I felt as though I was talking with an old friend, she's naturally warm and mothering. She listened to our concerns and offered valuable advice about cultivating the experience we were hoping to have. Our birth was truly Murphy's law. Yet through all the ups and downs, Fede continued to support a calm, empowering environment. It's hard to find the words for how incredibly grateful we are to have had Fede by our side. Because no matter what happens when bringing your child into this world, all birthing people deserve to feel heard, respected, in charge and empowered- and I did, thanks to Fede. We love you and can't wait to work with you again."

  • "Federica supported me during my pregnancy journey. She gave me both insight and confidence to tackle any obstacles that came my way with a positive attitude. Having Federica to guide me allowed me to have a calm mindset and a clear vision of the birth I always wanted. I dont think I would have had as much success had it not been for her. Federica helped me feel strong, prepared and resilient through it all. It meant the world to me that she helped me not only train through our yoga sessions but also encouraged me through phisical challenges during birth. To think I found Federica by chance is an understatement. It was meant to be. We are forever grateful to her. I do hope our paths will cross again in the future. Federica's devotion to her mothers and families is unwavering. I'm beyond blessed to have gotten to know her and learn beside her."
