Ali Madden

Ali’s journey into work as a postpartum doula began with her own experience. Though she was surrounded by a loving partner and support system, she found the early days of postpartum to be overwhelming. Longing for the village that no longer exists, she wanted someone to show her the way and to guide her in learning how to trust herself in this new way of life. After some time, she felt a strong desire to help other parents through this incredible but often challenging experience. Her support starts through listening and observing to understand your goals and needs. As you work together, she will share tips and resources through education, offer healing through physical and emotional support for the birthing parent and baby, household assistance, sleep and feeding support, and help you remember to keep things light, amidst the most challenging moments. Ali lives in Brooklyn with her partner, daughter, and sweet fur boy, Max. When she’s not working, you can find her outside enjoying the sun somewhere, attending science lectures, or catching up with her reality TV friends. She received her Postpartum Doula training through Cornerstone Birthwork and her Yoga Teacher training through Sky Ting Yoga. In addition, she has a B.S. degree from Florida State University and a certification in Photojournalism from the International Center of Photography. Her offerings include daytime postpartum care, private yoga sessions, and prenatal and postpartum photography.
