Practice overview
Hi, I’m Abby and I am a postpartum doula in Los Angeles, CA. I studied with DONA International and I’m in the process of completing my DONA International Postpartum Doula Certification. Previously, I spent 6 years working in childcare in NYC, spending most of my time with families of newborns, infants and toddlers which spawned my passion for this work. I am also an actor, audition coach and dancer! I completed my BFA at NYU, spent several years in the theater and moved to LA in the pandemic. In my practice, I provide according to your needs. I will help you care for baby, offer tips and a listening ear, cook nutritious meals (I’m also a great baker!), help out with big siblings, light cleaning, baby laundry, run errands and provide referrals when necessary. If bodyfeeding, I will provide guidance with latching and nursing positions as well as connections to lactation consultants in your area.

Her attention to every detail of my baby and my care helped immensely with making me feel sane throughout such a huge life change. She had a vast knowledge of all aspects of baby care, and thoroughly researched and delivered sources for any question I had. Every time she came into a house full of chaos she turned it into calm, relaxing, order, and in a time that could have been isolating I felt so supported. I cannot recommend Abby enough!

She was especially helpful in guiding us how to communicate with each other in our care of a newborn. I’d recommend Abby to anyone and feel extremely confident in your ability of newborn expertise and breastfeeding.
