About Lucy Paradiso Doula LLC
Bio
After raising my own six children, supporting new parents through birth and beyond, becoming a doula has been the joy of my life and the perfect fit for me. I love working with expectant families to help them navigate the birth and labor process, looking at each new birth as a unique experience. My goal is to provide the encouragement and empowerment needed in a calm and confident manner during the prenatal, postnatal, postpartum stages and on into motherhood. You are safe, you are strong,

Q: How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?

I teach partners valuable hands on support for their birthing partner, leading to MORE partner involvement & better outcomes.
