  • Doulas of CNY

    Doulas of CNY strive to provide you and your family with the best care and believe that offering you this bio section is a unique part of our agency. 
    At Doulas of CNY we believe that a doula's role is to support the Mom and her partner through THEIR labor, THEIR birth and THEIR experience, not to impose any personal beliefs or opinions on them.  We supply a woman and her partner with information in which they can make the best personal decisions for them.  We support the partner so that he/she is able to participate at his/her own comfort level.  We believe a Doula's nonjudgmental, supportive role is extremely influential to the labor, birth and postpartum outcome.  
     Doulas of CNY offer extraordinary Doula services and look forward to meeting you!
