[HolisticDoulaNYC]

Hello yoginis!

My name is Andrea Crossman and I am a holistic RN, doula and former labor and delivery nurse. I'm very excited to connect with this community and have seen the benefit of a yoga practice in many of the moms I have worked with.

I founded my practice, Holistic Doula NYC, because I know that birth can be a positive transformative experience when mothers and their partners have continuous support, good information, and the right resources. When I was a labor and delivery nurse in one of Manhattan’s busiest hospitals, my focus with women in labor was not only on their physical safety, but also on assisting mothers and birth partners to trust the process, find their strength, and surrender to the rhythm of birth—three essential components of empowered birthing.

I support women in their expression of motherhood in home, birth center, and hospital births, including cesarean deliveries. I also want to share that I will be offering HDNYC's Truly Holistic Pregnancy and Birth Series at the New York Open Center this January. If you are in the market for a great childbirth education class I hope you'll check it out. This class will be offered regularly, so please email if you are interested in other dates: hello@holisticdoulanyc.com

I wish you the most beautiful and healthy of new beginnings and look forward to connecting!

Namaste!
