About Elle

Elle is a birth doula, certified lactation counselor, artist, and arts worker living in the Bronx, NY. She likes to say she's based "fully in NYC" as her work and personal life consistently bounces in and out of the NYC boroughs. A life long dancer, she embraces an artistic lifestyle, weaving a decades long movement practice, rooted in somatic ideology and centered around the pelvis, into her work as a doula.
A Certified Lactation Counselor through ALPP, Elle offers lactation support to prenatal and postpartum clients, and provides information and guidance to birth doula clients on infant feeding, regardless of feeding choice, in prenatal and postpartum sessions. As a birth doula and lactation counselor, she provides direct support during the first feeding in the first hour(s) after birth.
A passionate advocate for safe birth as a human right, Elle cultivates an environment in which her clients maintain autonomy in their decisions throughout the birthing process, acknowledging and working to disband the racial disparities rampant in birthing history and present-day medical systems in the United States.
