Meet Kelsey
Certified Birth Doula
Certified Postpartum Doula
Kelsey is a Brooklyn-based birth and postpartum doula who blends empathy, affirmation, and evidence-based support to guide new parents through a transformative time. She is deeply committed to “mothering the mother,” ensuring her clients feel cared for, balanced, and emotionally supported as they step into parenthood. With a BFA in Musical Theater from Ithaca College, her acting background has shaped her into an intuitive and emotionally attuned space-holder. Kelsey values mental health, talk therapy, and the powerful role our thoughts play in shaping our experiences. She helps clients gently explore and move through limiting beliefs, holding space for the messy and imperfect parts of growth. Outside of her doula work, she enjoys creative expression through performance, painting, and spiritual exploration, as well as quiet moments cooking and reading queer literature. Whether you’re seeking deep conversation or steady support, Kelsey brings warmth, insight, and presence to every connection.
I can't imagine having my beautiful birth experience without Kelsey's support. My labor progressed very quickly at home and we were lucky to have Kelsey come to our apartment and help us transition to the hospital. We were in traffic for over an hour, and I would not have remained calm without Kelsey's guidance and encouragement. She held my hand throughout the car ride, helped find labor progressing positions once I decided to receive an epidural, held my legs while I was pushing, and helped my baby boy latch only one hour after birth. Kelsey also supported us in the early postpartum weeks by making snacks, helping with laundry, tidying around the apartment, and lending an ear and advice during this challenging period. We love Kelsey and highly recommend her as a doula!
Having Kelsey… felt like a ray of sunshine during a really dark time in our lives. I had a traumatic, nearly fatal, complication after having my baby. Kelsey would put me in a better mood all day and the nights she'd be there were such a relief. I always felt safe and confident that my baby was being loved and cared for. Kelsey is just such a doll. She let me vent about what I'd been through and made me feel heard. She was there to care for me just as much as my baby. We are truly grateful for Kelsey and any family will be lucky to have her in their lives.
We felt so comfortable having Kelsey care for our baby while we got some much needed sleep. My husband and I would get in bed each time she visited and say "wow she's great, so glad she's here." Kelsey was warm and just so reassuring, even taught us a few things too! She always communicated, took notes on our baby's wake/feed/diaper schedule, and was just such a great presence in our household.
