Birth Doula

Hi there! My name is Ellen Mary and I am a trained doula serving families in the Central New York and Finger Lakes area. I am passionate about supporting families through the journey of conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a doula, I believe that every birthing person deserves to feel empowered, heard, and respected throughout their pregnancy and birth. My goal is to provide evidence-based resources, emotional support, and physical comfort measures to help families achieve this. I received my doula training through The Doula Partnership and I am also a Board Certified Patient Advocate. Additionally, I have training in infant care, breastfeeding support, advocacy, trauma-informed support, and infant CPR/first aid. As a doula I support families non-judgmentally through many circumstances, such as cesarean births, inductions, high-risk pregnancies, and even perinatal loss.

When I'm not attending births or supporting families, you can find me spending time with family, serving my community as a Volunteer Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician, or exploring our beautiful Central New York region. 

I am honored to be considered for part of your journey and look forward to supporting you and your growing family!
