ABOUT US
We are so glad you're here, and look forward to working with you.
The Sunnyside Doula Collective was founded in 2020 by four local mamas, and has grown! We learn from one another, share resources and form an emotional support system as we maneuver the NYC healthcare system. We strive together to make the birthing world a better, more equitable place for us all.
We are all solo practitioners and accept clients on an individual basis, and occasionally work in a partnership model. The biggest difference between solo and partnership model is that in a partnership, both doulas attend prenatal & postpartum meetings, so that you have an equivalent relationship with them; doulas then split being on-call in a model similar to a multi-practice midwifery or OB team, or sharing postpartum care, for example one person on day shift and another for overnight.
Regardless of which model you choose, (solo or partnership), we work together to offer a strong, stable system of backup, rotating on-call shifts so that someone is always available for your birth on the rare chance that your primary doula is not available.
