the doula eliana
about me
Welcome! I’m Eliana and I am a postpartum doula with over ten years of experience serving growing families. In addition to my work as a doula and lactation counselor, I am also a perinatal yoga teacher; I believe that the mind-body connection is essential for postpartum healing and recovery. I incorporate yoga and mindfulness practices into my doula work, offering families tools to help them feel more grounded, centered, and peaceful during this time of transition.
Outside of my work, I love spending time in nature with my husband and our many farm animals. I believe that connection to the natural world is essential for our wellbeing, and I encourage my clients to find ways to incorporate nature into their own lives as well.
​
I am located in Vestal New York and am happy to serve clients within a 30 mile radius.
Thank you for considering me as your postpartum doula. I look forward to supporting you on this journey!
