Doula Services in NYC metro area

As a doula, I believe birth is one of the most powerful and transformative experiences in life.
And you deserve to feel calm, confident and supported—every step of the way.

Birth can feel overwhelming — especially when there are so many unknowns, decisions and emotions involved.

A doula is there to support you continuously — not just with information, but with presence, reassurance and hands-on guidance.

I don’t replace your medical team. My role is to hold space for your unique path and offer grounded, compassionate support as you make choices that resonate with you. I support you — So you can:

  • Feel calmer and more in control
  • Understand what’s happening in your body
  • Make decisions with clarity and confidence
  • Stay connected to yourself even when things get intense

    Since 2012, I’ve been walking alongside growing families in NYC as a HypnoDoula, childbirth educator and emotional anchor during one of life’s biggest transitions. My approach is grounded, heart-led and rooted in the belief that your body already knows what to do—you just need the right tools, support and space and sometimes medical help to let it unfold.

    I’m here to help you find your way—whether that means planning an unmedicated birth, choosing an epidural or staying open to all possibilities. As your doula, I hold space for your process, offer evidence-based guidance and support your decisions with compassion and care.

    Meet Maeva

    A native of France, I became a certified hypnotist in 2009, deeply inspired by the mind-body connection. My journey into birth work began shortly after, when clients started asking me to support them through labor. Since then, I’ve never looked back.

    My work blends:

  • HypnoBirthing® techniques
  • Spinning Babies® body-based preparation
  • Mindfulness and nervous system support This approach helps you release fear, work with your body and meet your birth with more ease and confidence. I don’t just teach tools — I stay by your side throughout your journey, offering emotional, physical and practical support every step of the way.

  • How We Prepare Together

    Releasing Fear & Building Confidence

    Fear creates tension and tension increases pain. We work together to shift this pattern so you can approach birth feeling calmer and more in control.

    Understanding the Birth Process

    When you understand what’s happening in your body, you feel safer and more empowered — even when things don’t go exactly as planned.

    Mind–Body Tools for Labor

    You’ll learn and practice tools like:

  • Breathwork
  • Visualization
  • Affirmations
  • Tapping (EFT)

    So your body can soften instead of resist during contractions.

    Partner Preparation

    Your partner will learn exactly how to support you — physically and emotionally — so you both feel confident and connected.

    Spinning Babies® & Positioning

    Simple, effective techniques to support optimal baby positioning and a smoother labor.

    Postpartum Planning

    We prepare for recovery, rest and emotional support — not just the birth itself.

    During Labor, I Am Right There With You

    This is where doula support truly makes a difference. I provide continuous support — meaning I stay with you throughout your labor, helping you navigate each moment as it unfolds. During labor, I:

  • Guide your breath and relaxation
  • Suggest positions and movements to support progress
  • Help you stay grounded and focused
  • Support your partner so they can support you
  • Offer reassurance and calm when things feel intense
  • Help you understand your options so you can make informed decisions

    You are not left alone to figure it out.

    Is This Right for You?

    This support is for you if:

  • You want to feel calm and supported during labor
  • You’re feeling anxious or unsure about birth
  • You want your partner to feel confident and involved
  • You value emotional as well as physical support
  • You don’t want to navigate birth feeling alone
