Haya Brant, a DONA International certified Birth Doula and DONA trained Postpartum Doula, has been attending births since 2002. Haya brings to her work a background as a coach in competitive gymnastics and an upper level management professional in stock photography and software development. After 9/11 Haya felt drawn to doing something more meaningful. Motivated to follow in her mother's footsteps, she committed herself to supporting families through the major life transition of birth. In 2005 Haya gave birth to her daughter Zoe. This experience deepened her confidence in woman’s power to give birth consciously and in
the value of having support throughout the process.

Haya shares her comprehensive study and passion for the bene-fits of babywearing through in-home fittings and ongoing work-shops. Haya serves as a NYC mentor for Diaper Free Baby an organization devoted to helping parents explore ways of com-municating with their babies about their elimination needs. Haya serves as a council member of the Metropolitan Doula Group and is co-leader of the NYC chapter of ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network). Haya also provides medical billing services to a growing number of homebirth midwives.
