About Chelsea T.

My journey into the perinatal profession began during my Bachelor’s studies in Integrative Medicine, with a focus on Ayurveda. I was inspired to find natural and holistic approaches to health after being deeply impacted by witnessing my mother’s declining health due to an over-reliance on the U.S. medical system. Her struggles began with postpartum depression and eventually progressed into chronic illness’—conditions for which we had no prior family history. This experience opened my eyes to the long-term impact postpartum health can have on maternal well-being, particularly at a time when postpartum depression was overlooked. In 2018, I completed my Birth Doula Training with DONA International and went on to volunteer for over a year and a half as a Birth doula in the Mother/Baby Unit and NICU at two hospitals. When volunteer programs were paused during COVID, I turned my focus to other ways of serving families as a doula, which led me to discover the deeply meaningful work of Postpartum doula care. Today, I am passionate about providing nurturing, evidence-based support to families during both the Birth and the Postpartum period. My goal is to help parents feel seen, informed, and cared for as they navigate this transformative chapter of life.
