Hi, I’m Audelle.
I provide lactation and postpartum support to new families, primarily in Southern Westchester County and New York City. I love to offer healing food and beverages during this time of rebuilding. I am a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. I’m also certified in Integrative Reflexology (my foot rubs are focused on healing).
My goal is to nourish, nurture, and “mother” new parents in this tender time so they can heal, regroup, and indulge in getting to know this new person in their lives. I want you to look back on this amazingly beautiful period of your life knowing that you were held.
I believe families need support as they grow. Sometimes it's the practical things like helping to nurse or making a nutritious meal and other times it's “holding space” - being present for you as you recall your birth story or allowing you to feel safe expressing self-doubt without fear of judgment. I partner with you to identify your needs and do my best to meet and exceed them. I have a broad skillset and a wide reach of resources so if I don’t know the answer, I can refer you to a specialist on just about any newborn/postpartum/birth-related topic.
My passion is to teach families how to thrive in the postpartum period. Previous generations and maybe even some of your peers survived without “postpartum doulas”. But the ones who thrived, the ones who didn’t just muscle through, had a support system in place - friends, parents, in-laws, siblings, close neighbors. When we talk about it taking a village to raise a family, it starts from the very beginning.
