Doula Services
At Blue Heron Doula, I provide compassionate birth and postpartum doula support in the Hudson Valley and Westchester County, New York, serving families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. Working with a doula offers continuous emotional support, evidence-based education, and calm reassurance—helping parents feel confident, prepared, and supported every step of the way.
As a Hudson Valley and Westchester County birth doula, I support families during pregnancy and labor by helping them understand their options, prepare for birth, and advocate for their preferences. Continuous doula support during labor has been shown to improve birth satisfaction, support informed decision-making, and reduce unnecessary medical interventions—creating a more positive and supported birth experience for both parents and babies.
As a postpartum doula serving Hudson Valley and Westchester County families, I provide hands-on support during the critical early weeks after birth. Postpartum doula care includes guidance with newborn care, feeding and breastfeeding support, emotional well-being, and physical recovery. This support allows families to rest, heal, and build confidence while adjusting to life with a new baby.
At Blue Heron Doula, I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to birth or parenting. My role is to nurture and support families in the Hudson Valley and Westchester County, NY, as they explore their birth visions, make informed decisions, and transition into parenthood feeling empowered and cared for. It is an honor to walk alongside families during this deeply transformative time.

Traveling Postpartum Doula Services
Postpartum support wherever life takes you.
Welcoming a new baby doesn’t always mean staying home. Whether you're planning a family vacation, spending time at a second home, traveling to visit loved ones, relocating, or simply need an extra set of experienced hands while away, you don't have to navigate postpartum travel alone.
My Traveling Postpartum Doula Service allows you to bring trusted, professional postpartum and newborn support with you—so you can focus on recovering, bonding with your baby, and enjoying your time away.
Your Doula, Wherever You Go
Traveling with a newborn can feel overwhelming. Feeding schedules, naps, packing, airports, unfamiliar environments, and postpartum recovery can quickly turn what should be a special trip into an exhausting experience.

-
Newborn care throughout your trip

Daytime and/or overnight newborn support
-
Assistance during airport and travel days

Feeding and lactation support

Bottle preparation and feeding support

Newborn soothing and sleep support

Ideal for Vacations, Relocations & Extended Stays
Traveling doula support can be especially valuable for families who are:
Vacationing with a newborn
Enjoy your trip while having professional newborn support available when you need it.
Traveling internationally or domestically
From navigating airports to settling into your destination, having experienced support can make traveling with your baby feel significantly more manageable.
Staying at a second home or vacation property
Receive the same level of postpartum support you would have at home while you're away.
Relocating after having a baby
Maintain consistency and support for yourself and your newborn during a major transition.
Visiting family
Enjoy time with loved ones without feeling like you have to manage every aspect of newborn care on your own.
Attending weddings, celebrations, or special events
Have trusted newborn support available so you can participate in important moments while knowing your baby is being cared for.
A More Supported Way to Travel With Your Baby
Traveling during the fourth trimester doesn't have to mean sacrificing rest, recovery, or routine.
I provide calm, compassionate, professional support tailored to your family's needs and travel plans. From helping care for your newborn during the journey to providing support once we arrive, my goal is to make traveling with your baby feel less stressful, more organized, and more enjoyable.
Travel support can be arranged for short trips, vacations, extended stays, relocations, and domestic or international travel.
How Travel Doula Services Work
Every family's travel plans are different, so services are customized around your itinerary and support needs.
Prior to your trip, we'll discuss:
-
Your destination and travel dates
-
Baby's age and current routine
-
Daytime and overnight support needs
-
Travel-day expectations
-
Accommodations and sleeping arrangements

Desired level of newborn and postpartum support
A customized travel agreement will outline services, scheduling, compensation, travel arrangements, rest periods, and other important details.
Clients are responsible for agreed-upon travel-related expenses, which may include airfare, accommodations, ground transportation, meals, and other expenses associated with providing care during the trip.
Take the Support With You
You deserve to feel supported during postpartum—not only when you're at home.
Whether you're boarding a flight, heading to a vacation home, visiting family, or traveling somewhere you've been dreaming about, having professional postpartum support by your side can help you feel more rested, confident, and present.
