Welcome to WholesomeBirth!
My name is Allison, a compassionate and dedicated doula based in Brooklyn, NY!
With a background in psychology, health education, and dance from Barnard College of Columbia University, I've always been intrigued by the profound impact movement can have on our healing journey. My passion for supporting and assisting others in my community has seamlessly merged with my love for movement, leading me to incorporate these elements into my doula work.
Since January 2020, I have been serving as a postpartum doula, immersing myself in the perinatal space. I had the privilege of joining Oula, a renowned midwifery clinic, where I initially served as the patient experience and operations manager. Later on, I played a crucial role in establishing their care navigation team. Throughout my journey, I've received comprehensive training in postpartum doula care and breastfeeding counseling from DONA International, and have been fortunate to learn from and shadow numerous midwife mentors who have enriched my life, knowledge and expertise.
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery can be simultaneously exhilarating and overwhelming. It is my honor to stand by your side, providing unwavering support, advocacy, and care during this transformative time. I firmly believe that nobody should have to navigate this journey alone.
As your postpartum doula, I offer an array of services tailored to meet your unique needs. From assisting birth parents in finding additional resources and expertise after the birth of a child to promoting healing, recovery, nourishment, and connection during the postpartum period, I am here for you. My support encompasses a wide range of areas, including but not limited to:
Breastfeeding/bodyfeeding tips & tricks
Emotional & physical recovery after birth
Overnight support
Sibling care & support
Light housekeeping & meal prep
Connections to local resources for new parents
BIPOC support & culturally competent care
I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your unique journey, free from any judgment or pressure. Together, we will navigate the postpartum period with grace, empowering you to embrace the joy and challenges that come with new parenthood.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or if you'd like to learn more about how I can support you during this transformative time. I look forward to joining you on this beautiful journey!
