Birth Doula Support + Childbirth Education
Evidence-based, intuitive and inclusive birth support for families who want informed choice as well as grounded care rooted in steady presence, advocacy, and real preparation—before, during, and after birth.
Chorion Birth offers full-spectrum birth doula support, provider alignment coaching, and childbirth education rooted in physiology, autonomy, and emotional safety. I work with first-time parents, queer and non-traditional families, and anyone seeking care that feels both informed and deeply human. Whether you want hands-on labor support, clarity around your provider options, or education that helps you trust your instincts, this work is about helping you feel prepared, supported, and respected.
Serving Brooklyn/NYC + virtual.

Provider Alignment Coaching
Choosing a provider and birth setting is one of the biggest factors in how your birth feels and how supported you are—medically, emotionally, and practically. This session is for anyone feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or like they’re getting mixed messages from their care team.
In a 1-hour/$150 virtual coaching session, we will:
Clarify your priorities (safety, autonomy, interventions, vibe, communication)
Identify what support actually looks like for your specific hopes and risk factors
Review red flags + green flags in provider language, policies, and consent culture
Discuss common modes of fetal monitoring, delivery protocols, common interventions and risk/benefits, etc that may impact your provider and birth location choices
Talk through options (switching providers, changing birth setting, advocacy strategies)
You don’t need the “perfect” plan. You need a care team that respects your choices and who share your values and can support your risk threshold. I support all birth choices without judgment—hospital, home, birth center, epidural, unmedicated, planned cesarean, VBAC.
WHY HIRE A DOULA?
A doula is trained, continuous support for birth—someone whose job is you. Not charting, not clocking out, not rotating shifts. Steady presence, clear info, practical coping, and grounded emotional support for both you and your partner.
What doulas actually do
Help you cope physically (positions, comfort measures, breath, pacing, environment)
Support decision-making (questions to ask, options to consider, consent clarity)
Keep you oriented when things get intense or fast
Support partners so they can rest, eat, and stay connected instead of overwhelmed
Protect the emotional tone of the room—calm, safe, and intentional
What doulas don’t do
We don’t perform medical tasks or replace your provider. We support you in working with your team and staying connected to your own voice.
The research
Major medical organizations recognize continuous labor support as one of the most effective tools for improving birth outcomes and satisfaction. [ACOG]
Large evidence reviews have found continuous support is associated with benefits like lower cesarean risk, fewer interventions, and more positive birth experiences, with no evidence of harm.[PUBMED]
