Francesca Paretta

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hello new and growing families! I'm Francesca ~ a full-spectrum doula specializing in yoga, mindset, nutrition, newborn care and evidence-based care.

I have been dedicating my practice to a diverse array of families since 2020. Prior to my practice as a birth worker, my background is in psychology + integrative health. The masters program I completed in 2021 was a fusion of Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, from which I have developed a unique approach at looking at the human experience, relating and health.

Additionally, with over 700 hours of yoga training, it is important to me that I lead a life that reflects the holistic, integrative philosophy I share with the parents I support.

Practice Philosophy

My role as your doula is to amplify your desires around your birthing experience, and to ensure that you receive informed consent from your providers every step of the way.

Prioritizing mother-centered care is extremely important to me. When we begin to prioritize opinions of outside sources, policies or traditions is when families *can* begin to feel dissatisfied with their experience. My ultimate goal is for you to have a beautiful and positive experience welcoming your baby into the world. That means honoring different decisions and outcomes for different people.

I seek to instill an unwavering sense of autonomy and empowerment in my clients so they can develop a unique vision for their birth, emanate confidence, and surrender to the innate intelligence of the body and nervous system. My goal is to help you feel empowered, confident, and deeply supported every step of the way.
