    Postpartum Doula Support in New York City

    The fourth trimester can feel tender and overwhelming. Chandel Stallworth offers hands-on postpartum doula support to help families in Manhattan and Brooklyn rest, recover, and settle in with their baby.

    Who this is for

    New parents who want practical help at home and a calm, experienced presence in the weeks after birth — whether this is your first baby or you're adjusting to a growing family.

    What the Nest package includes

    • 20 hours of postpartum doula support (2–3 hours per visit), valid through 8 weeks after services begin
    • Infant care: diapering, soothing, feeding support, and safe sleep guidance
    • Latching and feeding support
    • Maternal recovery support: emotional wellness, physical comfort, and nourishment suggestions
    • Nursery organization, light meal prep, and baby laundry
    • Planning for the next day to set you up for smoother nights and mornings
    • Referrals to lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, and other resources

    Emotional support in the fourth trimester

    Chandel is trained through Postpartum Support International as a peer mentor and group facilitator, and is attuned to the emotional shifts that can come after birth. She offers empathy and reassurance and can point you toward professional support when needed — she is not a therapist and does not provide mental health treatment.

    Movement and recovery

    As a pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise specialist, Chandel brings body awareness into recovery support, while always deferring to your medical providers on when and how to return to exercise.

    Questions families ask

    Do I need a postpartum doula if family is helping?

    Many families have both. A postpartum doula brings experience with infant care, feeding, and recovery, and can support your family helpers too.

    What areas do you serve?

    Chandel supports families in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with virtual support available.
