How I Can Help

My mission is to support each family’s agency to make their own action plans and I will help you advocate for your chosen approaches. While my services are most often tailored to families who choose breastfeeding on demand and gentle sleep strategies, I will work with each of my clients by providing evidence-based information and the emotional support they need to honor their decisions about feeding and sleeping.

  1. Do you wish to breast or chest feed and are you facing challenges in achieving this goal?
  2. Are you not settled on your sleep strategies given the confusing and contradictory advice you’ve received? Did you have a plan that worked and now everything has changed?
  3. Are you concerned about how you will handle work responsibilities, or returning to work? (I cannot provide you legal advice but will discuss your rights with you and help you decide on actions you can take.)
  4. Do you have newborn care needs or baby-related household tasks that you need help with?
  5. Do you have medical bills you don’t understand and which may not be correct?

Elizabeth Grossman, Brooklyn Based Doula About Me

After over 30 years as a civil rights attorney, I decided to become a part-time postpartum doula. I did this because:

  1. I love babies and want to support their families, especially new parents, during the beautiful and scary first days and weeks,
  2. I remember how alone and confused I felt when I had my first child, and how hard it was to sift through conflicting advice and stick to how I wanted to care for my son. Now, I use the wealth of knowledge I’ve developed since then to help new parents (1) figure out how to make the early days and weeks focused on joy and, (2) manage their stress about feeding, sleeping, and work responsibilities,
  3. Postpartum doulas are a powerful resource in the health justice movement, and providing these services has been shown to improve parental and infant health, help parents feel more secure in their new roles and changed family dynamics, and improve racial and other disparities in postpartum care.

Testimonials

Elizabeth is exactly the kind of person you want around after having a baby—warm, calm, nonjudgmental, and incredibly helpful. From the first day, she just got what needed to be done. She made me feel comfortable enough to open up about other things I needed, like advice about anxiety related to safe sleep. She’s also amazing with newborns. You can tell she truly loves what she does. The way she cared for my baby was so warm and natural that I instantly felt she was a “safe person.” Honestly it felt like family or someone I had known for a long time coming over to help. Beyond that, Elizabeth is a wealth of knowledge on all things motherhood. I loved being able to pick her brain about random things and have conversations with her woman to woman/mom to mom. That connection made a tough, isolating time feel so much easier. I’m truly going to miss working with her, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone expecting or adjusting to life with a new baby. – R.N.

My husband and I are first time parents. Navigating all the “firsts” and challenges that come with parenthood, including our first sleep regression, can be beautiful and also challenging. Elizabeth met us during the regression and was so supportive and helpful. She was very warm, welcoming, and helped to fine tune our nighttime routine. She cheered us on and helped us get through. Once the regression was over, Elizabeth helped us establish a daytime and nap routine. She even helped support me in finding activities to get out of the house and engaged in our community again. Elizabeth was wonderful working with our son and can’t say enough great things about her as a doula, professional, and person. – K.B.
