Hi, I’m Carrie, a Postpartum Doula and Full Spectrum Lactation Educator in NYC!

I offer in-person services in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, as well as virtual services.

The fourth trimester is a season of contradictions.

You are expanding your family and your sense of self. You are also cocooning, nesting, and turning inward in order to heal, nurture, and process the magnitude of how your life is transforming.

Great change is underway, and you might not recognize this new you. This can lead to isolation at a moment when connection matters deeply. Maybe you are feeling selective about allowing others into your home as you adjust to your new normal, but you might also crave an ear for processing your child’s birth story or an extra pair of hands to help with diaper changes, feeding, and laundry.

Postpartum requires balance.

It doesn’t matter if you are a first time parent or if you have been through a version of this season before. Every time you become a parent, you are invited to integrate the old with the new. It can be a lot to hold.

But you don’t have to do it alone.

I am walking beside you as you navigate this sacred transitional moment in your family’s life. Read about my background and the services I offer, and reach out for a free consultation if you’d like to chat about how I can be of help to you and your family. I can’t wait to hear from you!
