About Alysa
I’m a birth doula based in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, dedicated to helping women and birthers reconnect with their inner power through the beauty and magic of birth. I believe that every birth, no matter how your baby arrives, can be a transformative and empowering experience. My role is to support you and your family through this incredible transition and help you feel confident in the choices you make for your own birth experience.
I provide birth support at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Baystate Medical Center, Greenfield Medical Center, Seven Sisters Midwifery and Birth Center, and at home births within 25 miles of Easthampton, MA.
“Working with Alysa during my second pregnancy and birth was such a gift. Giving birth again after having my daughter in 2019 felt like a whole new experience, being older this time, I had fears to work through and needed to reeducate myself on the birth process, my pain management options, and what I wanted for this birth. Alysa's calm, grounded energy drew me to her, and it's exactly what carried me through.
She was a strong advocate for me and a reassuring presence for my partner, who was experiencing birth for the first time. Her warmth never wavered, even in the most intense moments.
She also captured beautiful photos during the birth. I cried the first time I saw the photos, and I'll treasure them forever.
I'm so grateful Alysa was part of this journey. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone preparing to give birth.”
