I'm Sherraine, a Brooklyn-based birth and postpartum doula, social worker, and mother. Since 2019, I’ve supported families in New York City through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, blending my MSW background, years of doula training, and a deep, genuine fascination with birth to bring knowledge and compassion into every birth and postpartum experience.

I first learned the word 'doula' in 2013, while finishing undergrad and thinking hard about how I wanted to best support children and families. I had realized that a child's wellbeing is inseparable from the family's, and I felt an immediate sense of rightness that doula work was the path I was meant to take in supporting the whole family and child wellbeing. But underneath that was also the recognition that I had almost no idea how birth actually worked! In a country where birth is hidden away in hospitals and rarely witnessed, most of us arrive at pregnancy having never seen it, never studied it, never understood it. That gap between how extraordinary birth is and how little most of us are taught about it is what called me and what I hope to resolve when working with families (and youth alike!). 

My philosophy is simple: birth is not a mystery to be endured. It is a profound, life-altering experience to be celebrated — and you deserve to understand it, not just survive it. I prepare clients with knowledge, calm presence, and a strong belief in what their bodies are capable of., so that they feel ready to meet the unknowns of their own unique journey. I want you to feel like you're in experienced hands while also like you’re with a trusted friend. 

After three years in practice, I had my own baby. While giving birth hasn’t changed my birth support, becoming a parent myself cracked open the mystery of what it means to navigate those early days. I thought I understood postpartum. I did NOT. I now know firsthand how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and supported - not just to “get through it,” but to find confidence, calm, and even joy in the midst of transition. I love helping parents settle into rhythms of rest, nourishment, and delight, while also watching partners step into their roles with confidence so that families can thrive together.
