Your Birth, Your Way
Confident. Calm. Fully Yours.
Personalized education and hands-on support in NYC to help you prepare for the unmedicated birth you desire—at home or wherever feels right.
Hi, I’m Doula Sierra!
Manhattan based, birth & postpartum doula, midwifery student, co-founder of Doulas In The Heights NYC, and your steady presence through one of life’s most powerful moments.
I support NYC families who want to feel informed, grounded, and confident as they prepare for birth—especially those seeking an unmedicated or home birth experience.
With a background in counseling, trained in Bradley Method, Hypnobirthing, Body Ready Method and certified through Carriage House Birth in Manhattan, I have a passion for physiological birth, I guide you through education, hands-on support, and intuitive care that helps you reclaim birth as something that belongs to you.
Support That’s As Intuitive As Birth Itself
Prenatal Education and Birth Prep
Knowledge is calming. Preparation is empowering.
We’ll meet throughout your pregnancy to build trust, explore the physiology of birth, and equip you with practical tools for labor. You’ll learn how to work with your body, navigate choices with clarity, and prepare emotionally for what’s ahead.
Labor Support
(Home, Birth Center, Hospital)
A steady presence—so you can surrender to the process.
From the first contraction to your baby’s first breath, I’m there. Through massage, movement, breath, and focused emotional reassurance, I help you stay anchored and in control—even in the most intense moments.
Partner
Guidance
Because your support team should feel supported too.
Whether it’s your partner, a friend, or family, I guide your loved ones with calm, clear instruction so they feel confident and connected throughout labor. We create a circle of care around you, so everyone feels steady and purposeful.
Postpartum Debrief & Support
Honor your experience. Begin your new chapter.
In the days after birth, we meet again to reflect. Whether your experience went as planned or took a different path, we’ll process the story together. This is a time to celebrate your strength, ask questions, and receive compassionate support as you begin life with your baby.
Birth Isn’t A Problem To Solve
It’s your body’s wisdom at work.
I believe birth is innate—an act of strength, intuition, and design. My role is to help you reconnect to what your body already knows, so you can move through labor with calm, clarity, and power.
Why Home Birth?
More time. Less pressure. A space that’s truly yours.
If you're drawn to the idea of a home birth—even with questions or hesitations—you're not alone.
Many families seek more than a hospital experience; they want autonomy, calm, and fewer interventions. With the support of licensed midwives, planned home births for low-risk pregnancies have been shown to be both safe and empowering.

We’ll walk through every unknown together. You’ll feel informed, supported, and confident in making the choice that’s right for you and your baby. And if you're wondering, “What if something goes wrong?”, we’ll create thoughtful plans that prioritize your safety and peace of mind.
