About Liz Addeo
I was called to become a doula after having three very different and profound births with my own children, all with the support of midwives and doulas. While pregnant with my third child, I trained to become a birth doula with DONA International so that I too could assist families along their journeys, just as I was guided in mine. I feel like I have truly found a home in birthwork and I am honored to walk this path with my clients.

About Cecily Cullinan
Cecily Beane Cullinan, PCD (DONA) has been supporting families in the Capital Region as a postpartum doula since 2021. She feels passionate about the importance of this role for birthing people and their new families, particularly in the United States where the maternal health care system offer minimal integrated postpartum support. There is a large gap in traditional obstetric care in which women are left to navigate new motherhood largely on their own.
Prior to receiving training through DONA, Cecily volunteered in a pilot program with PSI (Postpartum Support International). The Peer Mentor program, now fully established, offers new moms currently struggling with PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) to be paired up with a mom who has been through it and recovered.
Cecily has three wonderful children, ages 14, 12, and 9. She is a certified Kindermusik educator teaching in Saratoga Springs. Cecily is an avid musician and linguist.

About Ariana Stadtlander

Since finding her own healing, Ariana has also found a strong desire to help other women navigate, survive, and heal in the midst of what can feel like such a lonely and hopeless journey.

In this class, you will learn what your pelvic floor is, how it works with your core and other muscles, and why its optimal function is essential during pregnancy, delivery, and during the postpartum period. You will learn techniques to connect with your pelvic floor and core during pregnancy to help prepare your muscles with labor and delivery. You will also review early postpartum activity guidelines, as well as things to look out for while healing in the early postpartum period.
We will be moving and doing some light activity, so please come dressed comfortably and bring a yoga mat if you have one.
