Riv Schwartzman

Riv is here to support you and walk alongside you on your journey through the intricacies of pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. She has been caring for people in intense situations for over fifteen years in her career in pre-hospital healthcare as a certified athletic trainer and former paramedic. She truly enjoys caring for people and making sure they feel seen, heard, supported, and held. As a doula, Riv brings a warm, grounded, and supportive energy to your pregnancy, labor and birthing. She has advanced knowledge of the body, and provides confident and calming hands-on support, help with positioning, comfort, and helping you stay in-tune with your body and your needs. She also gives logistical support as well as advocacy. Riv believes bodily autonomy to be an integral piece of any pregnancy and birthing journey. In my free time, Riv enjoys lifting heavy weights, running, meditating, drawing, reading romantasy, and spending time with her husband, toddler, and big, fluffy dog, Glacier.
