Maritday R. | Doula in New York, NY

    Practice overview

    As a Wholistic Childbirth Consultant, I offer holistic, fertility planning, antenatal herbal consultation, childbirth education, nutritional/breastfeeding guidance as well as birth and postpartum support. Antenatal, Birth and Postpartum packages may include but are not limited to; prenatal visits, on-call support for questions and concerns, monthly email updates, hands-on birth support, and postpartum visits. Childbirth is a transformative event where pregnant women have access to altered states of consciousness that allow them to have an expanded perspective of life and of themselves. This culminates in the birthing process. Realizing that many women desire to be witnessed, rather than managed, in this extraordinary experience. By putting a different spin on what it really means to support and witness a woman and we explore what it means to nurture a mom during her childbearing years.

      As a Doula with 25 years of experience I trust Maritday completely, in fact she is the Doula I recommend first to clients when I’m booked. All of the clients have had amazing feedback about her services. I will continue to recommend her to clients in the future.

      Maritday was a blessing to my whole birth and postpartum journey worth her weight in gold. Her support is a gift that keeps on giving as she not only supports you in the moment but also gives you tools to help you help yourself. She transformed my family dynamic and life for the better – our time together, our meals, my relationship with my kids all have felt the support she provided by being my doula. She mothers the mother in a way that allows you to show up as your best mama self to your family. And my baby loved her as well. She held space for me and supported me at my birth to a degree that surprised even my very well seasoned midwife. Her support was irreplaceable – physically, mentally, and spiritually. And her care and cooking is exceptional. Highly highly recommend.
