Our Values

We embrace a heart-centered approach to supporting new families during the transformative postpartum period. At the core of our values is a deep understanding of the emotional journey that comes with welcoming a new life into the world. We believe in nurturing not just the physical needs but also the emotional well-being of both parents and their newborns. Our heart-centered approach ensures that every interaction, from our compassionate support sessions to our personalized care plans, is infused with empathy and understanding.

We celebrate curiosity as a vital component of personal growth and empowerment during the postpartum journey. We encourage our clients to ask questions, explore different parenting philosophies, and seek out information that resonates with their unique needs and values. Our team of experienced doulas are always eager to learn and adapt, staying abreast of the latest research and trends in postpartum care. By fostering a culture of curiosity, we empower families to make informed decisions and confidently navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood.

We believe in the power of collaboration. We understand that no two families are alike, and we honor the diversity of experiences and perspectives that each client brings to the table. Our collaborative approach extends beyond our team to encompass a network of healthcare professionals, community resources, and support networks. By working together with our clients, their families, and other care providers, we create a support system that addresses the multifaceted needs of the postpartum period. We build strong foundations for thriving families and resilient communities.

  • "After a traumatic birth and NICU experience, having Kelly as my support system when I was getting used to having my daughter home and settling in as a mom was very healing for me. She was like the perfect non-judgemental friend who knew exactly what I needed- rest, friendship, and good food!"

    -Amy

  • "I cannot imagine what those first few weeks postpartum would have been like without Kelly by our side - and to be honest, I don't want to. What I do know for sure is that she shaped our experience so that we could show up for our daughter in our best form and be the best parents we could be. Her help has meant the world to me!”

    -Callie

  • "[Kelly] personalized her approach to my postpartum and was an asset to my family. My husband and I don’t have family in Brooklyn, and so we knew we needed some help. Kelly is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to healing and recovery, caring for newborns, lactation, and nutrition.
