Paz

I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula, supporting New York City families since 2007. I am DONA trained Doula and Certified Advanced Holistic Doula by The Matrona.

I have a deep understanding of the challenges and joys of the birthing experience, and I use my expertise and compassionate nature to help women feel empowered and confident throughout the process. I approach birth from a whole-person holistic perspective, considering the physical and emotional aspects of it.

I believe that birth is an experience that is profound, intense, and transformative and that all women intuitively know how to labor and give birth under the right conditions. I am passionate about helping the birthing person to connect to that intuition, and help create the space to achieve a calm and nurturing environment for a positive birth experience with respect, support, and without judgment.

I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, and Certified Health and Wellness Coach by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition of NY. I am an herbalist apprentice currently studying Herbal Medicine for Women.

I am a mother of three, and my own experience navigating the New York City labor and delivery system inspired me to become a Doula. When not supporting births you can find me walking the hidden paths of Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
