Compassionate guidance towards a harmonious birth.
A doula from the Bronx reconnecting women to the sacred ritual of birth.
Non-consensual interventions during labor often lead to traumatic circumstances for the mother.
Mothers in labor are most vulnerable to mental and emotional turmoil from medical care providers who disrupt natural labor with unnecessary inductions, medications and physical interventions.
Hi, I’m Elyse Iris
I am a Birth Doula, a Loss doula and a Child Birth Educator based in Bridgeport, CT - Serving NYC, Westchester county and Fairfield county. My commitment and the purpose of my work is to provide you with a safe space to discuss your birth preferences and ensure consensual care at every stage of birth. I help you make informed decisions throughout labor, learn the best techniques for relieving discomfort in your body/mind, and lovingly offer you emotional, mental, and spiritual support through every transition.
What can you look forward to when we work together?
To increase your chances of giving birth with little to no unnecessary medical interventions.
To gain confidence in your partner’s ability to advocate for you when you are most vulnerable to interventions.
To prepare your body, spirit, and mind which significantly decreases your odds of having a traumatic birth experience.
To maximize the flow of oxytocin by training you and your partner in comfort measures.
