Demi

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 then attended a two-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 firstborn that she decided to dive deep into birth work as a birth, postpartum, and postpartum overnight doula, providing lactation support and leading new parent support groups.

Demi’s goal is to help support parents in achieving a supportive birth and postpartum period—whatever that might look like. When Demi is not supporting a client, she is spending time with her husband and two boys (ages 3 & 1) in Queens, NY, where they live.
