Birth & Postpartum Doula Support for NYC

You deserve to feel empowered and cared for throughout your birth journey - I’m here to help make that happen! I provide evidence-based education, non-judgmental advocacy, and holistic support before, during, and after childbirth.

Hi, I’m Marisa!

I’m a full spectrum doula currently completing my certification with Doula Training International. I felt called to this work after the birth of my daughter, in part because of the invaluable relationship I had with my doula, but also from the profound transformation I experienced in becoming a mother. My priorities and passions shifted dramatically. I wanted to stop spending my days in front a computer and instead use my nurturing spirit to leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I decided to end a 20 year career as a web/graphic/product designer to train as a doula and support the remarkable journey of birthing people.

While I moved to New York City many years ago, I’m relatively new to Brooklyn and love nothing more than exploring my Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. I’m an avid cook, a hobby I bring into my role as postpartum doula to help you feel nourished and fulfilled during those first weeks at home. And if I’m not cooking or working, I’m probably outside having adventures with my almost 2.5 year old daughter and husband.

What you can expect from my doula services:

I will empower you to make informed decisions that reflect your values, helping you feel at home in your body during this transformative time.

I will provide unwavering compassion and hold space for all the feelings you may have during this vulnerable, and sometimes isolating, experience.

I will support you through both the joys and challenges of birth and postpartum, whatever that may look like for you and your new family.

I will share knowledge and personal experiences to help you navigate medical information and choices, including resources and referrals if needed.
