Hi, I’m Doula Sierra!

I am an expert in home birthing and unmedicated births.

I live in Upper Manhattan and love supporting local families through a holistic approach to parenthood; before, during and after birth.
My practice centers around:

  1. Knowledge for confident decision making about your body and baby

    2. Connecting to your intuition to deepen your body awareness

    3. Practical tools for the flourishing of your whole family

Let’s embark on this beautiful journey together! Schedule a free consultation with me.

  • What people are saying...

  • “As a new mother, I found that sharing my thoughts, feelings and struggles with Sierra made a world of difference. She was patient with me and is the type of mother I would like to become! She's honest, practical, patient and helped me problem solve different situations. I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with her, not because she is a doula, but because of the type of person she is.”

    -Caroline, Washington Heights

  • “Sierra has been absolutely wonderful during this first time journey of motherhood. She has been nothing but caring, patient, kind and attentive from the first time we spoke. In the delivery room, she was incredibly attentive and supportive and that helped me tremendously. She made sure that I was able to stick to the birth plan that I wanted as much as possible and she was a huge advocate for my son and I. She has been incredibly knowledgeable about babies and lactation support.”

    -Courtney, Westchester

  • “The last couple weeks of my second pregnancy were unexpectedly difficult; I talked with Sierra several times and she was able to help guide me through my own turbulent emotions and answers to questions I had never thought to ask myself as I grappled with possible interventions. Her support was invaluable. Sierra listened well, was understanding, and didn't waste any time at getting to the root of my worries. I was so grateful that I reached out for prenatal support because it brought me the peace my body and mind needed to relax and let go of all the stress!”

    -Courtney, Miami

  • I don’t even have enough words to express the immense gratitude I feel for Sierra, my incredible doula. From the moment I met her, I knew I was in good hands, but what she did for me throughout the entire process of bringing my first child into the world went far beyond anything I could have imagined.

    Sierra was a constant source of calm, support, and strength, always knowing exactly what to say or do when I needed it most. Her presence was a grounding force during the most intense moments, offering encouragement when I doubted myself and always reminding me of my own strength. She was there to guide me through every stage, from pregnancy to labor to those first precious moments with my baby. Her deep knowledge and unwavering support helped me feel empowered, confident, and ready for whatever came next.
