Genevieve
BIRTH DOULA
Genevieve Cerri is a birth doula devoted exclusively to supporting women through unmedicated, physiological birth. She is DONA certified and also trained under Debra Pascali-Bonaro, creator of Orgasmic Birth, and brings a rare blend of evidence-based birth knowledge, feminine embodiment, and trauma-informed care to the families she serves.
Genevieve home birthed her 10 lb 2 oz daughter—an experience she names as the most powerful day of her life—and she infuses that deep, embodied trust in the body’s innate design into every labor she supports. Her approach is rooted in calm, continuous presence, creative comfort measures, and clear communication, helping women feel safe, informed, and fully supported as they labor naturally.
Her background includes over 15 years of study in somatics, communication, and psycho-spiritual development, as well as certification in somatic-based chakra therapy under Anodea Judith, author of Eastern Body, Western Mind. Genevieve is also a certified chakra yoga instructor and trained in essential oil application for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Additionally, she holds a strong academic foundation in psychology, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Marymount Manhattan College.
Genevieve’s work centers on protecting the physiology of birth, supporting intuitive decision-making, and helping women access their inner strength and wisdom. She stands for birth as a powerful, transformative rite of passage and is devoted to helping mothers cross that threshold with confidence, dignity, and deep trust in their bodies.
Testimonials
“I am so lucky to have found Genevieve to guide me through my second birth journey I was nervous after a difficult first birth, but from the moment I connected with Genevieve I felt safe and empowered—and she was only ever a text away. During the birth I felt confident about my choices and plan, and could focus on bringing my daughter into this world. And Genevieve was a calming, caring energy throughout who made me feel strong and supported. I look back on my actual birth with pride and awe, and Genevieve is a huge part of why. I’ll be recommending Genevieve to anyone looking for that confidence and warmth on their journeys as well. "

“Genevieve was my doula for my planned home birth, which unexpectedly became a hospital birth after a very long labor.
She brought a beautiful mix of confidence, care, and grounded knowing that let me soften and trust her, while still giving me so much space to follow my own body and process. She was incredibly attuned, giving me space when I needed it, but always right there when I wanted support.
When we were trying to make a decision on if I try to birth at home or go to the hospital, she went out of her way to really help me understand all sides of what was happening so that I could make the best decision for me. There was so much care in that whole process. I never felt like I was disappointing her or giving up on something, I just felt her with me, listening to me, trusting me, and helping me move towards bringing my little one Earth side.”
