About
Betsy is passionate about providing the care new mothers need in their postpartum experience — whether their needs are emotional support or clean laundry. Her own struggle with postpartum mood disorder after the birth of her firstborn informs her work. For her own health and the well-being of other mothers, she fostered an informal network of new parents to answer questions and support each other. Now that her two children are in school, she is devoting more time to this care as a professional Postpartum Doula. Betsy also co-writes the Metropolitan Doulas blog.
