Meet Hannah
Certified Postpartum Doula
Certified Birth Doula
Carrot Fertility Approved Doula
Hannah is a certified full-spectrum doula providing birth and postpartum care to NYC families. She offers an approach that blends traditional and modern knowledge that allows parents to feel fully supported, empowered, and prepared throughout the childbearing year. Hannah sees doula work as a form of companionship, and her goal is to create an environment where her clients feel seen and heard for all that they are. Her approach is open-hearted, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth. She has had the privilege of studying under traditional midwives from Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru and has attended births in all sorts of locations across four countries. She is currently certifying as a childbirth educator with Birthing from Within.
"When we started our pregnancy journey, we were not really sure about what a doula did or what role they played. When our midwife suggested that we secure one as soon as possible, us, tending to be naturally informed consumers, began to search. After doing research, we began interviews. Though others were lovely, from the moment we jumped on a call with Hannah, it was clear what a doula does. Your doula is your advocate and Hannah was our advocate from that day forward. She is a loyal champion for women's sovereignty in their pregnancies and their babies' births. She has done the work and continues to improve her knowledge on a daily basis. She has traveled to great lengths around the world to train with other incredible women in birth work. We had a home birth, and even under the circumstances that were mostly in our control, we cannot fathom having done it without Hannah. Had we been in a hospital setting, either by choice or by emergency, she would have been that much more important. She watched out for us, slowed the process down, and did it all with a sagely wisdom that she has crafted with experience from a long list of incredible women. There's no better combination of life experience and temperament, and we can't say enough positive things about her. Hannah is kind, she is loving, and we are glad to say she is our friend."
"Hannah, you have helped shape in beautiful form the course of my postpartum, my story about this time, my corresponding next chapter, and subsequently, my life. You named the deep ancestral grief I was feeling crushed by of not being in a community of women to hold me in the weeks and early months after my baby’s birth and opened the door into that loving world for me that you stepped through every time you came. In your time with me and my family you created around me in your words, actions and presence- my village- mother, sister, daughter, friend, advisor, healer, baby tender, confidante, cook, witness. You held me figuratively and literally, as well as my husband and children. Grateful isn’t big enough a word to cover it."
"There are no words to accurately describe the special attention and care we got from Hannah. From the moment we signed on with her until our last postpartum visit, Hannah has been there for us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her resources and research were abundant and very informative, and no question was too big or too small to answer 24/7. When it came time for labor, Hannah came to us before she was “supposed” to, knowing I needed her support earlier than expected, and then stayed with us 36+ hours until the baby was born. I can’t recommend Hannah enough! You’ll be in the best hands!"
"Hannah is wonderful. In these tender first weeks of our baby's life, she's been a critical support on nights when we needed it most. I've slept soundly through the night, knowing my newborn was in her care. We specifically chose her to watch our son for our first long date night in the city, and we were able to fully enjoy ourselves without anxiety. She has the kind of demeanor that puts you at ease as soon as she arrives, and we feel really lucky to have found her!"
