T. was fantastic. She\u2019s extremely experienced and super knowledgeable on sleep best practice for babies which I found very helpful &#8211; I know so much more about sleep cycles and wake windows now! She was also really proactive in helping me out with many things while the baby slept (meal prep, laundry etc) and was a great sounding board for me on several postpartum discussion topics.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Su-Lin, March 2026<\/div>\n<p>T. was excellent and supportive in consulting with us when we were feeling desperate on too little sleep with our nine week old baby. While it wasn&#8217;t yet appropriate, developmentally, to begin a sleep training program with our baby, T. was instrumental in helping us set up a positive bedtime routine for our family. T. was friendly, understanding, accessible, and wonderful to work with. She provided a comprehensive sleep plan based on our family&#8217;s individualized needs. Within days of implementing her plan, our baby went from sleeping 2-3 hour stretches a night to 8-9 hours! Our family is so grateful to be sleeping better. T. provided the plan, support, and reassurance we needed to be successful.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Barzotto<br \/>\n3\/25\/2022<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re pregnant or a new mom in Brooklyn, you need to know T.! I initially met T. through her prenatal yoga classes through a yoga center where she is teaching. T. is a pregnancy and postpartum guru, and my husband and I worked with her to help our new son develop good sleep habits. When we first started working with her, our son was around 11 weeks and waking up every 2-3 hours at night. Plus, naps were taking 30 mins with lots of rocking and resistance. T. developed a sleep plan for us and gave us the courage and confidence to change some of our habits that were reinforcing bad behaviors. We initiated some gentle methods that she wrote out and explained to us, and examined his timeline together, and within a week our son was sleeping 8+ hours straight at night! It has now been several weeks and he&#8217;s still<br \/>\nsleeping well. T. was encouraging, checked in throughout the process, answered our questions, and has an intuitive sense about babies. She is just the ticket to help any new parent survive these early trying months.<\/p>\n<p>Jenna Moss<br \/>\n3\/15\/2022<\/p>\n<p>T. was very helpful to us in the early newborn days. She was with us on our first day home from the hospital and helped me with breastfeeding questions and C section recovery guidance. She cooked us several healthy and delicious meals including doing the grocery shopping. In later visits, T. was very helpful to us staying home with our newborn as we got out of the apartment for some much needed parents only time. T. also folded laundry for us and was always finding small and big ways to help out. We felt very comfortable discussing a wide range of topics with T. including advice on our active toddler. We are very grateful to T. for making the early days so<br \/>\npleasant and less stressful.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Ingram<br \/>\n3\/18\/2022<\/p>\n<p>I first met T. when I attended her prenatal yoga classes. I then joined her pregnancy support group. Both the prenatal yoga and pregnancy support group were very helpful while I was pregnant. My husband and I also hired T. as a postpartum doula after we gave birth to our son in January. She was very helpful and kind! It was great to have the assistance of someone so knowledgeable. I definitely recommend T. for anyone interested in her services!<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Gottlieb<br \/>\nMarch 2022<\/p>\n<p>T. is an excellent postpartum doula who I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend. I first got to know T. during a pregnancy support group she runs and knew she\u2019d be great match for my family. Knowledgable, warm, supportive and a great cook, she\u2019s a brilliant person to have around during the crazy early days of new motherhood. It was also lovely to be able to do some gentle yoga with T. and know I was in expert hands.<\/p>\n<p>Rosie Hopegood<br \/>\n2\/8\/2022<\/p>\n<p>I am so glad that I hired T. in fall 2021, she was a great postpartum Doula for our family&#8217;s needs. She was immediately at ease in our home and made me feel confident that she could support us, regardless of what the request or need was. She was happy to jump in to do anything including newborn care, coaching me, or household chores. She gave us good referrals as needed and helped troubleshoot issues that we were running up against, too. I mainly needed reassurance on how we were parenting our newborn as I hired her almost 3 months postpartum, and she was great with both the emotional and logistical support that we asked for! I would recommend hiring T. and wish I had sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Adrienne, January 2022<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>T. was our post partum doula when we had our daughter in May 2021. We loved having her support, especially after we had a complicated birth and our baby had a broken arm. She was able to connect us immediately with a great IBCLC when the injury was presenting complex nursing issues when we came back from the hospital. She was a kind and calm and caring presence and helped us with cooking and giving us advice on some basic baby caring (like nail filing and diaper changing). She was also helpful guiding me through some stretches to help with post partum back pain. Loved her!<\/p>\n<p>Paloma, May 2021<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>T. came to me and my family at a time when we were tapped out and struggling with feeding issues with our newborn daughter. T. was always punctual, supportive and so helpful with both the baby and the household things that needed to get done (dishes, cooking for us, lots of laundry from our happy spitter baby!). I would recommend her to anyone who needs additional support during this difficult time!<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Jeannie, 11\/18\/2021<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>T. was absolutely wonderful to have as our postpartum doula and I can&#8217;t say enough good things about her. My husband and I are extremely grateful that T. was there to help us out emotionally, physically, and mentally when we arrived home from the hospital with our first baby. We were both pretty exhausted and naturally nervous about taking care of a newborn, especially during Covid times. T. became our essential support system in every way. She was extremely helpful with getting breastfeeding started successfully, making sure I got enough rest and time for self-care, and answering a multitude of questions about taking care of baby. She even baked me some delicious oat bars that have become my go-to late night snack! I highly recommend hiring T. to any moms looking for a down-to-earth, knowledgeable, kind, and caring postpartum doula.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Rochelle, 4\/15\/2021<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I cannot recommend T. enough! At our first appointment together, I opened the door crying and overwhelmed. On our last day together, I felt much more comfortable taking care of my son (and myself).<\/p>\n<p>T. is kind, caring and empathetic. She also has a great sense of humor and rolls with the punches. She was respectful of the choices we made for our family but incredibly knowledgeable in the areas where we had questions and needed additional guidance. All of her advice and guidance were informed by science which we really appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>She helped us with breastfeeding, supplementing and general newborn care as well as laundry + dishes (things that quickly build up with a newborn!).<\/p>\n<p>She helped me gain confidence as a first time mom and ensured that I was looked after in my postpartum period.<\/p>\n<p>T. was the best partner we could have asked for as we transitioned to our journey as a family of three.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kristen, summer 2021<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am so grateful to have had T. as my postpartum doula. In fact, seventeen<br \/>\nmonths later &#8211; I still miss her!<br \/>\nI was recovering from a c-section with high blood pressure, plus lactation trouble with my<br \/>\nbaby not latching, plus being slightly older than your average new mom with no family<br \/>\nnearby, and shadowed by a history of pregnancy loss and fertility issues &#8211; it was a cocktail<br \/>\nfor high anxiety. But T. steered me through the troubled waters &#8211; she is compassionate,<br \/>\nknowledgeable, and very down to earth. T. has a bright, encouraging, calming<br \/>\ndisposition. And although she has a light touch, she makes sure you comprehend a wide<br \/>\nrange of necessary information.<br \/>\nShe is loving and skillful handling babies. Having T. as a doula gave me the confidence<br \/>\nto do the same. This was so important &#8211; I was able to deeply enjoy being a new mom and<br \/>\nnot be a total mess! I was able to learn from T. without feeling judged.<br \/>\nT.\u00a0is also considerate of the family as a whole. Her perspective on babies integrates the<br \/>\nentire family situation. This takes a very special sensitivity and intelligence that T.<br \/>\npossesses.<br \/>\nI also appreciated T.&#8217;s ability to help me organize information &#8211; from basic recovery and<br \/>\npain management instructions to an onslaught of lactation schooling. She was also there<br \/>\nas a sounding board for overall child rearing questions and I&#8217;m thankful she was there one<br \/>\nparticular morning when my insurance almost fell through!! And extra bonus &#8211; she is a<br \/>\nyoga teacher and guided me back into my practice with some gentle yoga.<br \/>\nI highly recommend T. for her personal experience, her thorough training, her warm<br \/>\nhumor, her marvelous ability to nurture and guide. I honestly don&#8217;t know how I would have<br \/>\nfound my footing without her. And foremost &#8211; my baby adored her!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Susan<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;T. was our postpartum doula after the birth of our son. He is our first<br \/>\nchild, so I was really anxious about what the first few weeks home would be like&#8211;both<br \/>\nphysically and emotionally. T. was a calming, nurturing presence, offering great advice<br \/>\nwithout ever pushing any particular parenting style. We were a little nervous about having a<br \/>\nstranger in our home during this unique time in our lives, but T. didn&#8217;t feel like a stranger.<br \/>\nShe&#8217;d show up with tea and help with whatever we needed, from doing dishes, to showing<br \/>\nme how to use the impossibly tricky wrap carrier, to bathing and cutting his teeny tiny<br \/>\nnails. She felt like a friend, one who helped me feel confident that I was doing a good job<br \/>\nat parenting in spite of the fact that it was all so new, strange, and scary. This was exactly<br \/>\nwhat I needed, especially after my husband went back to work. I&#8217;d highly recommend T.<br \/>\nto anyone who wants a friendly, supportive presence during this crazy, wonderful, often<br \/>\noverwhelming time of life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Lauren<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This past fall T., postpartum doula and certified breast feeding counselor,<br \/>\nmade our lives infinitely more easy. I knew T. because she taught a favorite class at<br \/>\nBend and Bloom Yoga. I looked forward to her class. She had a grounding presence with<br \/>\nlight hearted humor, and led a relieving and calming routine. Our initial consultation meeting<br \/>\nwith her was the most holistic, real and ideal prenatal meeting I had over the course of my<br \/>\nentire pregnancy. After hiring her she continued to impress me and I was eternally grateful<br \/>\nfor that decision. Her companionship brought me and my baby joy. Her knowledge and<br \/>\nintuition soothed and relieved my motherly anxieties and uncertainties. T. guided me in<br \/>\nthe many challenges and beauties of breastfeeding all the while fostering mindfulness<br \/>\nabout my personal health. She even cared for the baby while guiding me in meditation and<br \/>\na gentle postpartum yoga practice! T. inspired self confidence, helping my husband<br \/>\nbuild his own independent skills and intuition as a father. She left me a stronger, well<br \/>\ninformed and flexible mother. For all these reasons and more, I strongly recommend T.\u00a0as postpartum doula and certified breast feeding counselor for your family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-Marilee, 1st time Mother in South Slope, BK<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the time I first met her, I feel that an aura of calm always accompanied T.<br \/>\nwhenever she set foot in our home. Underneath this sense of composure is a solid core of<br \/>\nknowledge and years of expertise, which T. imparted to us during her fruitful visits. She<br \/>\nwas always able to answer any questions we had and ready to provide us with any advice<br \/>\nshe could, but her most valuable gift to us was confidence. She helped us discover that<br \/>\nwhile we, just like anyone else, need some guidance in the great adventure of parenthood,<br \/>\nso much of what we need to care for our baby is already within us. I highly recommend<br \/>\nT. as a doula.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-Pete, husband and father in South Slope, BK<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today is the first Wednesday without your visit and I really feel it! Thank you for making this<br \/>\nbeautiful and challenging time more complete and lighter. You helped me really enjoy my<br \/>\ntime with my baby and gave me strength to face the difficulties and joys of being a mother.<br \/>\nYour warmth, compassion and wisdom made such a difference! My baby and I were lucky<br \/>\nto have you here and he really misses his napping buddy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Daniela<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calendar shows the due dates the doula is available for Approved by Carrot, Maven, Prodigny etc. &nbsp; As a mom of a 9 year old, T\u2019s<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5602,"menu_order":23,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"service-type":[52,51],"service-regions":[117,118],"doula-type":[90,64],"doula-subtype":[171,170],"class_list":["post-5852","doulas","type-doulas","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","service-type-in-person","service-type-virtual","service-regions-brooklyn-2","service-regions-manhattan-2","doula-type-lactation-counselor-1-week-training","doula-type-postpartum-doula","doula-subtype-experienced-lactation-counselor","doula-subtype-infant-sleep-consultant"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/doulas\/5852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/doulas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/doulas"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"service-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fservice-type&post=5852"},{"taxonomy":"service-regions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fservice-regions&post=5852"},{"taxonomy":"doula-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdoula-type&post=5852"},{"taxonomy":"doula-subtype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thenewyorkdoula.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdoula-subtype&post=5852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
