Angelica Merzigian

Prenatal & Postpartum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Angelica! I became interested in caring for postpartum families after having my own three children. Before becoming a parent myself, I had no idea how much I would need to lean on my community, and the support I received from birth doulas, lactation consultants, and the friends I made in parent support groups carried me as I learned to parent my children. Giving that same support and guidance I once received as a new, nervous mom is now incredibly fulfilling, and it's truly my calling.

As an IBCLC and postpartum doula, my support can include newborn care education, assistance with difficulties at breast and/or bottle, pumping support, and more. My goal is to help your family find a new rhythm as you settle into life with your new baby.

I approach all families with an open mind, so I can support you in the way that works best for you as a whole in your new role as parents, whether it's your first, second, third, or beyond.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that no parent should have to navigate the postpartum period alone. Having leaned on my own community of birth doulas, lactation consultants, and fellow parents after the birth of my three children, I know firsthand how much steady support can carry you through those early days, and that lived experience shapes how I show up for every family I serve.

I approach all families with an open mind, so I can support you in the way that works best for you as a whole in your new role as parents. Whether you need newborn care education, feeding support at breast or bottle, pumping guidance, or simply a knowledgeable, reassuring presence, I meet you where you are, first baby, second, third, or beyond.

Overall, my goal is to help your family find a new rhythm and feel supported, confident, and cared for as you settle into life with your new baby.
