What Families Are Saying

Real words from families we've had the honor of supporting.

“Finding Natalie felt impossible at first. The Spanish-speaking, bilingual doula community is small, and after searching for what felt like forever, she was the first—and ultimately the only—doula we interviewed. Within minutes of our conversation, I knew she was exactly who we had been looking for. Convincing my husband that hiring a doula was worth it took some effort, but immediately after our first call, he looked at me and said, "She was the best decision we made." And it truly was. As first-time parents, we were excited but also scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to expect. Natalie gave us so much more than education and resources. She gave us confidence, reassurance, compassion, and a sense of calm during one of the most vulnerable and transformative times of our lives. During labor, she was my driving force. Her ability to understand exactly what I needed when I could barely speak, was incredible. She advocated for me, cared for me, and helped me feel heard and validated. . Even when my birth plans changed, she made sure I felt respected, and empowered in every decision. I truly believe my birth experience would have been very different without her support, guidance, and presence. One of the moments that has stayed with me the most happened during our postpartum visit. Like so many new mothers, I was struggling to process everything my body and mind had just been through. Natalie reminded me that my body was still my own, that I had done something extraordinary, and that I deserved to feel proud of myself. Her words helped me recognize my own strength. I can't wait to one day tell my baby girl about the incredible woman who stood beside me and helped bring her safely into this world. Having Natalie as part of our birth story is something our family will cherish forever. I truly could not have asked for a better support person or a better team. If you're considering hiring a dula, stop searching—you've found her. First time parents R&H”

Do you support home births?+
Absolutely. Natalie supports births in hospitals, birth centers, and at home throughout NYC and Westchester County.
