Ellen Reis - Your Crossfiting Doula

About Me

Hello

My name is Ellen and I am a birth and postpartum doula, which means I offer non-medical support to new and seasonal families before, during, and after pregnancy. I am also a Baby-Led Sleep Consultant, I help parents understand their babies' unique sleep needs.

​

I help families to thrive during the most beautiful and challenging phase of our lives: parenthood. I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions without judgment and is empowered by knowledge, which includes pregnancy, birth, and parenting choices. I serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and some Connecticut areas.

​

Some fun facts about me:

  • I was born and raised in Brazil, currently living in Hopewell Junction/NY.

  • My husband, Miguel, is Portuguese and we met during a ski trip in Vermont. We have a beautiful daughter who is 2 years old. The sweetest girl ever!

  • I have a stepson who is (somehow) almost 12 years old.

  • I love CrossFit and have been practicing it for 8 years. Except during 2020 - Wonder why?! And during my pregnancy. It was rough.

  • I am a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother and constantly use their quotes for important moments in my life.

  • Nothing makes my smile bigger than a brunch with bottomless Mimosas surrounded by my people!!!

Looking forward to connecting with you and getting to know each other more!!!

TESTIMONIALS

Ellen is amazing as a birth doula!  I wanted to be fully present for every moment of the birthing process, and she ensured that I had a smooth unmedicated birth for my first baby like I had always wanted!  My husband and I were so glad to have Ellen with us throughout the birth-prep, delivery as the second support person at the hospital, and all the way to postpartum.  My baby ended up coming 2 weeks early and had a pretty quick labor; Ellen responded right away and was at the hospital before we even got there!  She was also so helpful for the postpartum period, from lactation advice to newborn care, especially since we did not have family around to help us out.  We were so grateful that Ellen was part of these special moments, of us going from just a couple to becoming a family.
