Allie Blanchard

Alexandra’s call to birth work came after spending years studying psychology with a focus on childhood creativity development and family dynamics, followed by years spent as a nanny for infants and toddlers. This experience providing postpartum support for families and gaining extensive insight and experience in postpartum healing, newborn development, and child-rearing left her inspired and determined to expand her knowledge and services. She fosters the notion that every pregnant person possesses their own inner well of power, courage, and grace. She offers evidence-based information, nurtures the autonomy of the pregnant person and family, and aims to provide individualized comfort techniques and plans for each client. Her ultimate goal is to help families manifest their ideal birth and postpartum experiences by facilitating educated decision-making and reinforcing self-confidence throughout their journey. Raised in Western Massachusetts, Alexandra moved to New York City in 2011 to obtain her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Pace University. Since then, she has acquired her Birth Doula certification with Carriage House Birth, Postpartum Doula certification through Birdsong Brooklyn, and Breastfeeding/Lactation Counselor Certification. She is currently doing her training as an IBCLC. Now living in Brooklyn with her dog, she likes to spend her free time going on long bike rides, rollerskating, practicing pilates, and eating her way around the city.
