Meet Abbey
The postpartum period is a complicated one; your body is healing from pregnancy and birth and you’re processing big emotions. Many of us live far away from family and have no support network to help with basic things like feeding ourselves, much less figuring out how to be parents in real time!
I experienced so much anxiety when my daughter was born in 2024, I felt overwhelmed by hormones and never quite knew if her little newborn quirks were normal or not.
Postpartum depression affects up to 10% of women in the United States, though many health experts think that figure is vastly underreported. It’s all too easy to be affected by a mood disorder when you’re dealing with massive hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, and learning to feed your baby on your own. But we can get ahead of it with the right support!
I’m a postpartum doula in Westchester County (and surrounding area!) I come to new moms in the comfort of your home, cook nourishing and healing meals for the entire family, and help navigate changing partner dynamics. We’ll set up a plan for handling everyday tasks that can seem daunting with a newborn. And if your pregnancy or birth didn’t go as planned, I’m here for you, too.
I provide instruction in baby wearing, help with all kinds of feeding and advice on caring for a newborn. I’ve worked in documentary video and photography for more than a decade and also provide family photo services.
But most of all, I'll be there to nurture you and to make your transition to new motherhood as comfortable as possible. I’m passionate about supporting women as they become moms and I’m so excited to meet you!
I work in Westchester County, NY and the surrounding area. If you’re interested in learning more about working together, please reach out with the form below.
