Birth and Postpartum Doula

Hi, I’m Allison — a birth and postpartum doula based in Queens, New York, supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.

I offer grounded, nurturing doula care for families seeking both practical support and emotional presence during one of life’s most sacred transitions. My work is rooted in the belief that birth and postpartum are not just physical experiences, but deeply transformational moments that deserve to be held with care, patience, and respect.

As an overnight postpartum doula, I support families during the most vulnerable hours — when rest is hardest to come by and reassurance matters most. Overnight support allows parents to sleep while knowing their newborn is cared for with attentiveness and calm. I provide newborn care, feeding support, emotional reassurance, and gentle guidance so families can wake feeling more rested, supported, and confident.

About Me

My journey into birth work began with becoming a mother. I have two boys, born three years apart, and each birth deeply shaped how I understand pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care. My first son was born in 2012, and while that experience introduced me to the power of birth, it also sparked many questions. In the three years between my two births, I intentionally learned more about birth education, informed decision-making, and maternal support.

When I welcomed my second son, that birth was profoundly different because of what I had learned during that time. Experiencing two distinct births showed me how knowledge, advocacy, and compassionate support can transform not only the birth experience, but the way a mother carries it forward into postpartum and beyond.

Birth continued to stay close to my heart. In 2023, I had the honor of attending my first birth outside of my own, supporting my sister as she welcomed my niece, Stella, into the world. Named after my mother, Stella’s birth felt deeply meaningful and full-circle. From that moment, Healing Stella was born — rooted in lineage, healing, and the sacred transition into motherhood.

I completed two years of mentorship with Manhattan Birth and I am now a member of the East River Doula Collective. Being part of these birth communities allows me to stay supported, connected, and continually learning. I approach my work with the belief that no one should move through birth or the postpartum period alone, and I am honored to offer grounded, intuitive, and reliable support.

My approach blends evidence-based postpartum care with intuitive, heart-centered support. Whether you are navigating your first nights at home, recovering from birth, or adjusting to life with a growing family, I aim to create a peaceful environment where healing, rest, and bonding can unfold naturally.

Above all, my intention is to help families feel held — physically, emotionally, and energetically — so they can move through the postpartum period with greater ease and trust.

I also support lactation having completed Integrative Lactation Feeding Specialist training with Manhattan Birth.
