CARMEN STRAMARA
Postpartum Doula & Infant Care Specialist | she/her
I have so much gratitude for the opportunity to connect to this community by offering an unwavering support for birthing parents. I believe helping lovingly heal birthers and their families during the 4th trimester is a way to heal the world. My intention is to empower families to listen to their inner knowing and help guide them to the best choices for their family without judgment. There is no one right way to birth or parent. Life is a gift of choices. I help my clients discover what is the best postpartum plan for them, based on evidence based research, and their own right to choose.
The path ahead with your newborn can feel dichotomous; both completely new and as old as time, full of ups and downs, uncharted yet well-worn. I’m here to walk it with you, providing current evidence-based information which is guided by traditional wisdom.
My role is to support and educate you, as you adjust to this new chapter in your life. Not only can it be a beautiful discovery of the depths of love and connection between you and your baby, but how you can connect back to yourself. I believe in unconditional, gentle support during this vulnerable time in your birth journey.
