Testimonials
Fede was absolutely amazing. She helped achieve the birth plan I wanted and was invaluable from pain management, to motivation, to help dealing with hospital staff - Colleen
Fede helped me a lot during the postpartum period, especially with breastfeeding. Thanks to her I have never felt inadequate, no matter what decision I made. She gave me the best advices and made me feel at peace, which I think is priceless. I owe a lot to her! We still talk and she always provides useful tips to take care of my baby - Nicole
Federica was the first and only doula that we interviewed to be a support at the birth of our second son. We were immediately drawn to her knowledge and passion for her work. She was incredibly supportive of me as I neared full term, answering any questions or concerns that I had about the days to come. She let my husband and I lead the way in the type of experience we wanted and worked really hard to make that happen. The birth of our son was a time of pure joy and excitement also thanks to her. Federica is an incredible birth companion. She is a great yoga teacher as well so her touch and presence is very calming and nurturing - Rosa
I was looking for a doula who spoke both English and Italian to feel more comfortable with my mother tongue. Federica was very sweet and empathetic from the first meeting. She listened to my and my husband's doubts and illustrated ways to make informed choices. The morning of the birth was like a family person for us, she was able to help me, calm me, and support me even in the most delicate phase - Manuela
Fede was our doula for my second birth. We couldn’t have found a better doula! She trained me in yoga throughout my entire pregnancy preparing me for an extremely successful homebirth. I learned so much about my body by working with Fede, prenatal, during labor and postnatal. She is one of those magical people who is just naturally talented at what she does - this is truly her calling. She’s extremely kind and caring as well and was always checking in with me on things I would never think of for myself. She’s extremely thorough and a phenomenal support before, during and after birth. I had a natural home birth and with her support and instruction I was able to push my baby out much quicker than if she hadn’t been there. She’s very well versed in the human body musculoskeletal and how it operates which is priceless when your in labor and pushing. She makes you feel so comfortable and empowered in your own body. Fede is a plethora of knowledge about breastfeeding and even helped me with my first son when I was not finding any of the right answers with several different lactation consultants. I successfully breastfed my first son for over 2 years thanks to Fede! We love Fede and will of course use her again for our third! - Elizabeth
I am very happy and grateful that I had Federica as a key part of my experience , she took me through the birth of my beautiful son, not only as my doula, but also as my one and only birth partner. Throughout the lead up to, during and after, Fede supported my decisions, when I chose to have a c-section right through to having to make a complaint with the hospital. She gave her thoughts and advice but respected my choices always and I felt confident because she was with me. It was a very emotional experience having a baby without any family or partner present and I really felt that Fede understood the extra importance of her role with me on that special day. I appreciated her honest and candid opinions on all aspects of birthing, she isn’t someone who will just tell you what you want to hear. Thank you Fede!! - Nicola
Federica helped me immensely in the postpartum period to get back to myself. She took me through nurturing yoga poses to stretch and relax my body. She helped me process my birth and gave me valuable insights into changing my thought process, which helped me to heal. Federica assisted me with nursing and ensuring that my baby was latching correctly right away. Most importantly, she was someone I could trust with my baby from the beginning. She watched my baby and made sure she napped and was cared for, which in turn allowed me to get some much needed rest. I'm so glad Federica was part of our village for this birth - Rebecca
Federica was an amazing support throughout my pregnancy and delivery. She always offered a reassuring down to earth perspective and advocated for me and my baby’s health. I believe that thanks to her I made informed decisions and communicated better with my medical providers. Her support during labor was crucial and thanks to her I was able to work through contractions without an epidural until I was 6cm dilated! Once my son was born she put him on my breast right away and explained how to position him and have him latch properly, it set of my breastfeeding journey on an amazing start. Getting a doula is the best decision we’ve made for this pregnancy and I’m grateful for Federica’s support and professionalism - Victoire
I wanted to work with a doula because I wanted someone knowledgeable about navigating a holistic, physiological birth in an NYC hospital setting. I also wanted someone who brought a calm, nurturing energy who could help support my husband and I throughout the entire process; pregnancy, birth and postpartum. After weeks of searching and interviews we found Fede, and immediately knew she was the right choice, even better she lived on our block! I felt as though I was talking with an old friend, she's naturally warm and mothering. She listened to our concerns and offered valuable advice about cultivating the experience we were hoping to have. Our birth was truly Murphy's law. Yet through all the ups and downs, Fede continued to support a calm, empowering environment. It's hard to find the words for how incredibly grateful we are to have had Fede by our side. Because no matter what happens when bringing your child into this world, all birthing people deserve to feel heard, respected, in charge and empowered- and I did, thanks to Fede. We love you and can't wait to work with you again - Millicent
I am so grateful for Federica coming into our family’s life and being by my and my husband's side when our daughter arrived. She has a special gift and we so appreciate all the support and guidance she has given us. Federica is such an important part of our family’s story - Maya
Federica supported me during my pregnancy journey. She gave me both insight and confidence to tackle any obstacles that came my way with a positive attitude. Having Federica to guide me allowed me to have a calm mindset and a clear vision of the birth I always wanted. I dont think I would have had as much success had it not been for her. Federica helped me feel strong, prepared and resilient through it all. It meant the world to me that she helped me not only train through our yoga sessions but also encouraged me through phisical challenges during birth. To think I found Federica by chance is an understatement. It was meant to be. We are forever grateful to her. I do hope our paths will cross again in the future. Federica's devotion to her mothers and families is unwavering. I'm beyond blessed to have gotten to know her and learn beside her - Angeliki
