Please welcome with us one of our newest members of East River Doula Collective, Genevieve!
Genevieve is a birth doula devoted exclusively to supporting women through unmedicated, physiological birth. She trained under Debra Pascali-Bonaro, creator of Or****ic Birth, and brings a rare blend of evidence-based birth knowledge, feminine embodiment, and trauma-informed care to the families she serves.
Genevieve’s work centers on protecting the physiology of birth, supporting intuitive decision-making, and helping women access their inner strength and wisdom. She stands for birth as a powerful, transformative rite of passage and is devoted to helping mothers cross that threshold with confidence, dignity, and deep trust in their bodies.
You can find Genevieve's professional bio on our website, but here are some fun facts you might not otherwise know about her:
Q: When are you most inspired?
A: I am most inspired when I am dancing or walking alone in the city. I love to be around people, quietly reflecting on my life, their lives, and life itself.
Q: What do you find beautiful?
A: I've always found love and families so beautiful. I could look at two people in love and their beautiful children for hours, not needing to say or do anything. To me, it feels like heaven on Earth.
Q: What's your favorite beverage?
A: I think I have an actual addiction to macadamia milk matcha lattes, at least, that's what my 10 year old would say!
Q: What does creativity mean to you?
A: Feeling alive in yourself, able to trust that small, still voice within and trust where your body wants to go.
Q: Biggest strength?
A: I have a tremendous capacity to think clearly and remain calm under stressful, chaotic situations. I do not get looped up into them and often find myself in a leadership position when everyone else is losing their minds, often finding fearlessness in myself that I did not know that I had. This is an excellent strength for birth work!
