Hailey Henry

Hailey is a compassionate full-spectrum doula based in New York City, who employs a holistic approach to perinatal care. Inspired by the journeys of her family and friends into parenthood, Hailey discovered her calling in doula work and trained with Doula Training International (DTI) in 2023. She has supported diverse birthing experiences, including high-risk pregnancies, advanced maternal age, first-time and multiple pregnancies, as well as solo and neurodivergent parents. Hailey’s services extend beyond birth support to include prenatal education, prenatal support, and postpartum care. Her flexibility in schedule and unbiased perspective, stemming from not having children herself, allows her to offer dedicated, non-judgmental support to her clients. Hailey’s philosophy centers around inclusivity, cultural humility, and client empowerment. She believes in personalized, evidence-based support that respects each family's unique preferences and circumstances. Committed to creating a non-judgmental space, Hailey ensures all birthing people feel valued and heard. Her calm, reassuring presence and strong advocacy skills make her an effective partner in navigating the complexities of the healthcare system during labor and delivery. She teaches mindfulness techniques to manage stress and pain, uses comforting touch and positioning for physical relief, and offers continuous emotional support throughout pregnancy and labor. Emphasizing partner involvement, she guides and teaches them to be effective and comforting allies during the birthing process. Beyond labor and delivery, Hailey provides practical postpartum support, assisting new parents with lactation, newborn care, light household tasks, routine establishment, and meal preparation. Her goal is to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood, focusing on the emotional and physical well-being of new parents to make the postpartum period more enjoyable and less stressful. Hailey’s dedication, warmth, and holistic care philosophy make her an exceptional doula, committed to supporting families through one of the most transformative times in their lives.
