Demi-Joy Selzer

Meet Demi...

Demi-Joy Carr is a birth and postpartum doula serving families throughout Vermont. Her path to doula work grew out of a decade spent as a nanny, where she specialized in caring for infants and young children. Those years, along with the birth of her first son in 2019, opened the door to a new calling. Since then, Demi has welcomed two more boys into her family and deepened her commitment to supporting parents through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey.

She has trained with Birthday Presence and Carriage House Birth, and completed a year-long mentorship with Manhattan Birth. Demi provides birth and postpartum doula care, lactation guidance, and facilitates groups for new parents. As both a mother and a doula, she combines professional training with lived experience, meeting families with compassion, steadiness, and practical support. Her goal is to help parents feel confident and cared for as they find their own way in the early seasons of family life.

What My Clients Say…

  • Lili & Ian

    “Demi was supportive, thoughtful and listened to us so she could help execute what we wanted. She never pushed an agenda or tried to influence our decisions. We never thought about a doula until we met Demi and now we recommend her to all our friends and plan to use her again in the future.”
