Carrie

Carrie is a Postpartum Doula and Full-Spectrum Lactation Educator who trained with Doula Trainings International and Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. Their care work is informed by evidence-based education, a calm and trauma-informed perspective, and a staunch belief in reproductive justice for all bodies.

Carrie’s doula work builds upon the skills they have developed through a lifetime of supporting others through lifecycle transitions. As an ordained marriage officiant who has performed ceremonies for couples across the country, they are passionate about crafting rituals and skilled at guiding families from one chapter to the next. As a former volunteer patient advocate for survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, they are a compassionate and nonjudgmental listener who offers resources that best fit an individual’s circumstances and needs. As someone whose parenthood journey began with early miscarriage, they have deep empathy for families who have survived loss, and they volunteer as a peer support group facilitator for an Early Pregnancy Loss group organized by Postpartum Support International.

A Queens resident of nearly twenty years, Carrie lives with their husband and toddler. They enjoy reading, watching movies, and tasting all the delicious cuisines the borough has to offer.
