About this songbird...

Why Songbird Postpartum? Well, I began my career in childcare as a bit of a fluke while I was a young actor in New York pursuing musical theater and singing my little heart out. It's a bit of a trope that if you're an actor in you either wait tables, or you nanny...... and I was terrible at waiting tables! So, this songbird decided to give the nanny thing a try.  And I soon discovered that I loved working with children, especially newborns, and their families. Little did I know at the time that this love would blossom into a career of  8+ years. 

 

​It was in 2021, while nannying, that I overlapped with a Postpartum Doula. At the time I had no idea that such a thing even existed and was immediately drawn to this idea of supporting families as they navigated the postpartum period. A kind of support I knew was so often overlooked in our society. This was an issue made even more personal to me after one of my dearest friends experienced a very traumatic birth and postpartum period. Seeing her struggle, and feeling helpless in knowing the right way to support her, lit a fire in me to dedicate my career to supporting women and their partners in navigating this period and providing them with the support and care that they deserve.​If you are looking for someone who will be a supportive and encouraging presence, who will never judge, and have total belief that you are going to kill it as parents, I am the doula for you.
