Meet our Doula, Cheyenne

At 17, Cheyenne became a certified Full-Spectrum Community Doula, driven by a deep-rooted passion for women’s health, advocacy, and empowerment. From a young age, she felt called to support women and teens through non-medical doula care offering education, emotional support, comfort measures, and guidance through experiences such as abortion care, bereavement, prenatal development, childbirth, postpartum recovery, mental health care, and lactation.

With over five years of hands-on experience and affiliations with a variety of hospitals and providers across New York City, Cheyenne remains committed to creating safe, informed, and compassionate spaces for every individual served. In addition to her work as a doula, she is a certified New York State EMT and an aspiring midwife.

Cheynne holds an Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts and Health Sciences and is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Allied Health Sciences. This educational background, combined with real-world experience, allows her to provide inclusive, evidence-based, and nonjudgmental care tailored to each person’s unique journey.

Hospital / Delivery / Birthing Support

When giving birth in a hospital, a birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support to the birthing person and their partner from early labor through delivery and postpartum. The goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and supported while empowering you to birth with confidence in a setting that can often feel unfamiliar or overwhelming.

Birth Doula Support Includes:

The doula may recommend at home comfort measures during early labor, helping you cope with contractions, suggesting comfort techniques, and guidance with deciding when it’s time to head to the hospital.

Tools including:

  • Breathing and relaxation exercises
  • Position changes and movement
  • Massage and counter-pressure
  • Rebozo work (gentle belly support/sifting)
  • Exercise ball and peanut ball usage
  • Aromatherapy and soothing music

Unlike hospital staff who may rotate or come and go, your doula stays with you continuously.

As birth intensifies, the doula helps you stay centered, focused, and calm.

While doulas are not medical professionals and do not replace nurses or doctors, they help you:

  • Understand what’s happening
  • Ask questions about procedures or interventions
  • Advocate for your preferences respectfully and clearly

If you have a support person, the doula can guide and assist them so they can be present and confident, too.

Your doula stays for a short time after birth to support skin-to-skin bonding, early breastfeeding, and emotional processing of your birth experience.
