Staten Island, Brooklyn & Queens Doula


What is a doula?

A doula is a trained caregiver that guides birthing individuals & their families, physically, emotionally, and informatively during pregnancy, birth & postpartum. Our goal is to protect the physical & emotional health of the birthing person, their partner, & their family. Doulas represent the art of companioning.

A doula is someone who is there to support you regardless of what road you take. You tell me where you want to go & I’ll help you find your way.
— Katie Fleming
