What is a Doula?

A doula is an experienced and compassionate professional who provides valuable support during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. As a trusted guide, a doula offers emotional, physical, and informational assistance to expectant parents, ensuring a positive and empowering birth experience.

Before birth, a doula educates families on various birthing options, birth plans, and assists in making informed decisions. During labor, a doula remains a constant presence, offering comfort techniques such as breathing exercises, massage, and positioning suggestions to ease discomfort and enhance the progress of labor. They serve as advocates for the birthing parent's desires and foster smooth communication with medical personnel.

Doula care extends beyond delivery, with postpartum support focusing on the physical and emotional well-being of both the parent and baby. A doula assists with breastfeeding, offers guidance on newborn care, and provides a listening ear during the transitional period into parenthood. They ensure that parents feel empowered, confident, and cared for, easing their transition into this new and transformative phase of life.

Client Love

"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sarina as our overnight doula, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. From the very first night, she brought a sense of calm and reassurance into our home. She was incredibly gentle and kind—not just with us as new, sleep-deprived parents, but especially with our son. It was clear from the beginning that she had a natural way with babies, and we always felt confident leaving him in her care. She was consistently on time, dependable, and proactive—often helping out with small but daunting tasks like folding laundry and washing bottles, which made a big difference during those early weeks. Her support allowed us get a full night of rest a couple times a week, knowing our baby was in loving and capable hands. I feel like the first couple of months of parenting would have been a lot more difficult without Sarina's support, I'm so grateful we found her and would absolutely hire her again in the future!"

- Jaimie, Beacon, NY
"Sarina was a godsend for my husband and I as we navigated the first few weeks postpartum. Her ability to connect with our newborn was immediate due to her soft hearted and compassionate nature. Sarina helped answer questions about postpartum and shared some very helpful tips for myself and our baby girl. Also, her communication was excellent. It was so relieving to trust Sarina with our first child and know she was in very experienced and kind hands. Sarina truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. We already miss her so much."

- Ashley L
"Sarina was an absolute blessing during my pregnancy, labor and delivery, and post-partum. She offered incredibly helpful support around postures, exercises, and developing my birth plan. And her calm presence and expert care during labor really helped us feel like we were being taken care of. "

"Sarina was amazing! She was such a great help! I needed help and some education right after I gave birth and being first time mother she truly helped me with everything! I didn't have to ask her for anything she actually volunteered with everything I can't thank enough Truly appreciate it!"
