Sheyda
POSTPARTUM DOULA
My name is Sheyda (she/her) and I am honored to provide postpartum doula support to families in Brooklyn and Queens, NY.
A warm and gentle caregiver, I help create space for you to bond with your baby, restore your body, and adjust to your new family roles, while striving to be non-judgmental, inclusive, compassionate, and mindful of your wishes. Giving birth is a massive undertaking of the body and soul. The hormonal shift the body undergoes upon birthing a baby is the largest the human body ever experiences. Meanwhile, your newborn is now on the outside, and yet still utterly dependent on you as they were on the inside. My goal is to bring ease into this experience and create space for the wonder that unfolds.
Enlisting a postpartum doula is a wonderful act of self-care. No matter your current support system, it’s helpful to have a non-judgmental witness to what you are going through and a source of information and emotional support as a part of the team. A doula can support the family during such a special time when you yourself are nurturing your own most precious little one!
I’d love to hear from you and learn about your needs to see how I can support you and your family during this transition.
Testimonials
“Sheyda’s support for our family in the postpartum period was extremely valuable. We felt taken care of both physically and emotionally — she took care of so much from cooking, organizing and baby wearing to feeding and planning ahead. My son loved her, she helped him sleep well and she contributed immensely to our preparation for the next phase of parenthood. We feel so grateful to have met and connected with Sheyda. Any family would be lucky to have her support and guidance.”

“To have Sheyda’s expertise in the postpartum weeks has been monumental. She offered breastfeeding tips (that worked!), went grocery shopping, gave me massages, and also visited me in the hospital as I suffered from preeclampsia. She has been such a comfort and I am so happy I got to work with her!”
- Jillian, Carroll Gardens
“Sheyda provided great insight, love, and support for our family as we welcomed our daughter into the world. I would hire her in a heartbeat again.”
-Emma, Brooklyn Heights
“Sheyda was sweet and attentive when looking after our newborn. She has a very calming presence and helped provide support when we needed it most the first few weeks post delivery. I have full confidence in Sheyda and would be happy to recommend her to any family.”
