  • Morgan Moy M.S., CCC-SLP/L TSSLD

    Postpartum Doula Profile Meet Morgan Moy M.S., CCC-SLP/L TSSLD Birth and Postpartum Doula care In 2018, I gave birth to my daughter through an unexpected cesarean section. Only after this did I realize there was so much more to birth than the average person knows. After my birth, I wanted to use my experiences as a way to support others through their birth journey. This led me to find my passion and I attended both birth and postpartum doula trainings, and since then have begun attending births. My goal as a birth and postpartum doula is to inform parents and parents-to-be on their choices during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I also aspire to become a certified lactation consultant to complement my doula services. Besides my passion for birth, I also work as a speech language pathologist with a specialization in pediatric feeding therapy. As a little bit more about me, I married my high school sweetheart, whom I met when we were both attending West Irondequoit high school. We still live in the area and plan to live here for the years to come. In my spare time I like to crochet, walk our dogs, and swim with my daughter.

  • Debbie Trickey

    Birth Doula Profile Meet Debbie Trickey Birth and postpartum doula Hi! I’m a birth/post partum doula supporting families on their journey into parenthood. I’ve had both birth/ post partum doula training, and breastfeeding training through DONA. One of my own birth experiences led me to realize the importance of support during this life changing event. In order for women to feel empowered, it’s imperative that they receive education and support. As a Mother of 7 children, I understand all the joys of parenthood, along with the normal daily challenges. Transitioning into parenthood is a huge life changing event. Parental support can help ease stress, and anxiety. In addition to my doula education, I have an early childhood background with several years experience caring for infants- pre-k. I enjoy music, outdoors, crafts, and baking. It would be an honor to support you and your family. ​ 5852599257 deb.trickey@outlook.com

  • Mabel Primus, CLC

    Postpartum Doula Profile Meet Mabel Primus, CLC Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counseling Hi! I’m Mabel Primus. I’m a postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor (CLC) serving the Rochester area. I am very passionate about providing support to new families and especially to moms (and birthing parents) as they do a life transition that is often way more difficult than expected. In traditional societies, laypeople were very familiar with birth, breastfeeding, and community support during the childbearing year. Today, many parents go into the postpartum months never having witnessed these first newborn weeks and without nearly enough support. We tend to focus on the birth process (for good reason!) but don’t know how to adequately plan for the harrowing, sleepless, and altogether unique weeks and months following the welcoming of a new baby into the home. I am honored that you are considering inviting me into the sacred space of your home during this exciting time in your family’s life. I look forward to witnessing this part of your journey.
