Puri Carval
Puri Carval is an active birth Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Infant Massage Teacher and Child Specialist serving families in NYC for more than 5 years. She is a part of the doula team of the Early Head Start Perinatal Support program at Columbia University where she provides childbirth education, doula service and teaches infant and toddler groups.
Puri is from Barcelona, Spain, and spent her last 10 years there working as a social worker and a family therapist in the national health system. She arrived at the Doula world the same way she arrived in NYC, without knowing her entire career was about to change and bring her the most inspirational and growing time of her life.
As a Doula, she honors every choice you make. Puri is committed to providing accurate and unbiased information, evidence-based and recent, so you are fully educated and informed about the choices you make. Your very own preferences. She will care for you and your partner, if there is one, and she will provide you the support that works best for you in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way. Puri has no agenda for your birth and she would like you and your partner to feel confident and respected. It’s your choice how you give birth and you deserve the best care available.
When Puri not supporting families in NYC, she spends time in her beloved neighborhood, Central Harlem, reading, biking and practicing yoga. She also play the drums with my all women afro-Brazilian percussion band"
