Hi there! My name is R. and I’m a birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and pre/postnatal fitness instructor. I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn, but serve birthing folks all over New York City and its 5 boroughs. While I’ve been living in Brooklyn for five years now, I was born in New Hampshire and love spending my time outside, being active, and spending time with friends – All the better when all three happen at the same time!

My interest in birth work was born from a desire to advocate for women in spaces of great vulnerability, but it has been through my experience as a full-spectrum doula that I have learned about the power of building long-term relationships with clients, childbirth and postpartum education, and helping teach others to advocate for themselves. I have been trained as a doula from a trauma-informed, anti-racist, inclusive lens, and see supporting all bodies and all experiences as the core tenant of my work.

As a full-spectrum doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator, and pre/postnatal fitness instructor, I have found each facet of my training to inform the other and love watching how they frequently coincide. I’d love to talk with you to see if we may be a good fit!
