Frequently Asked Questions

  • A doula doesn't deliver babies or provide medical care — a midwife or OB handles that. My role is continuous physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after birth. Think of me as the person in your corner who helps you understand your options, advocates for your preferences, and makes sure you never have to navigate this alone. I work alongside your medical team, not instead of them.

  • I blend traditional doula support with Ayurvedic postpartum wisdom — an approach that's been caring for new mothers for thousands of years and is only now getting the attention it deserves in the West. Where a lot of postpartum care stops at "let us know if you need anything," I bring a structured, whole-body framework for recovery: nourishment, rest, warmth, and ritual, tailored to what your body actually needs in the fourth trimester.

  • Doula services are increasingly reimbursable through HSA/FSA accounts and some insurance plans. I'm happy to provide a superbill or receipt for you to submit — coverage varies by provider, so I'd recommend checking with yours directly. I am on the Carrot Fertility Directory for Postpartum services.

  • I'm based in the NYC/NJ area and serve clients locally in person on Staten Island, Manhattan, some parts of Brooklyn and New Jersey. I also offer virtual consultations for anyone outside my travel radius, and I offer travel packages for all 50 states and internationally— just reach out, and we'll figure out what's possible.

  • Yes. NICU support looks different from a "typical" postpartum journey, and I meet families where they are — offering emotional support, help navigating the hospital experience, and a steady presence during an incredibly hard time.

  • A 40% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your package. The remaining balance is due 34 weeks of pregnancy. Packages must be used within the stated time frame from your baby's birth date. Unused sessions do not roll over or carry a cash value.

  • Yes — a deposit is required to reserve your spot, with the remaining balance split into payments leading up to your due date. Reach out for details.

  • Yes. Because I'm often fully booked for direct client work, I've built resources for families and fellow practitioners who want Ayurvedic postpartum knowledge in a self-guided format — including guides, workbooks, and my signature course.

  • It's my self-paced Ayurvedic fourth trimester course, designed to walk you through postpartum recovery principles even if you don't have a doula by your side. It covers nourishment, rest, body recovery, and emotional wellbeing through an Ayurvedic lens!

  • Yes — every new client relationship starts with a conversation, no obligation. This is where we get to know each other and I learn what your specific situation calls for.

  • You can reach me anytime via my contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one to two business days!
