About

About.

Demi-Joy Selzer was born and raised in New York City.

Demi trained as a birth doula through Birthday Presence and as a postpartum doula through Carriage House Birth and attended a year long virtual doula mentorship through Manhattan Birth.

Before entering the birth world, Demi worked as a nanny for 10 years specializing in infants and babies where she focused on a gentle approach to raising children.

While nannying, she would take on birth and postpartum clients part time but it wasn’t until she had her own birth in December of 2019 with her first born- that she decided to dive deep in to birth work as a birth and postpartum doula, providing lactation support and leading new parent support groups.

Demi’s goal is to help support parents in achieving their dream birth and postpartum period- whatever that might look like.
