Hi, I’m Rigel!

I’m a birth and postpartum doula and I have had the privilege of attending 120+ births across the tristate area. I believe in inclusive, affirming care for all birthing bodies and I advocate fiercely for every client I serve.

Doula work has been my greatest teacher and one of my life’s greatest gifts. I’m honored to be a part of such a special and transformative time in the lives of growing families, and am elated to be bringing my practice from NYC to The Upper Valley, where I grew up.

About Me

  • Birth Doula Support

    Childbirth education, hands-on comfort measures, in-person labor support, partner & family support, hospital/birth venue advocacy, and more.

  • Postpartum Care

    Gentle, affirming support in the early weeks after birth—focused on healing, rest, infant care, and helping your family thrive.

  • Lactation Counseling

    Evidence-based, compassionate guidance to support chest/breastfeeding or bottle-feeding—wherever you are in your feeding journey.

  • Perinatal Fitness

    Joyful movement tailored to your body and energy—before, during, or after pregnancy. Let’s make it fun, sustainable, and supportive.

Inclusive Care Means Accessible Pricing

Everyone deserves support during birth and postpartum—regardless of income or circumstance. I offer a flexible sliding scale because I believe this work should be rooted in equity, not exclusivity. If cost is a concern, let’s talk. We’ll find a plan that honors your needs and makes care possible.

  • "Having Rigel as our doula to accompany us through the birth of our first child was by far the best decision we made during my pregnancy."

    Claire P.

  • "Rigel has an amazing mix of extreme competence, a relaxed attitude, and a lighthearted approach, which is absolutely what my husband and I were looking for in a postpartum doula!"

    Danielle L.

  • “She filled the role of so many different people I needed during that [postpartum] time -- holding space for my emotions, keeping me company, sharing her expertise, validating with generosity my choices as a mom, caring for and playing with my baby, cooking delicious food, and ultimately becoming a friend.”

    Laura P.

  • “She was helpful caring for our entire family - the baby and her needs, and our family's (meal prep, postpartum support, and general assistance). I give Rigel my highest praise! And would recommend her wholeheartedly! “

    Kate R.

  • "She patiently and calmly guided us to the birth of our baby boy. She helped us make a plan and advocated for our wishes once in the hospital. She was a calm voice in the storm.So glad we had a doula and even happier that it was Rigel!"
