Nurturing Families

Hi I am Marisa Mendez Marthaller, your partner in the beautiful journey of parenthood. I am here to provide you with the support, guidance, and care you need during the postpartum window. 

Since 2017 I have been supporting families in the postpartum window. I am a certified postpartum doula, lactation counselor and postpartum chef. I am also the founder of Soup Doula an online meal delivery service specializing in nourishing and healing soups. You can check out this Eater article about some of the postpartum and soup work that I do.

I provide postpartum services in Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan and some parts of Queens. If you are looking for postpartum support and would be interesting in talking about working together please reach out to set up a chat.

Doula Marisa

As a first time mom it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or unprepared. But being readmitted to the hospital with postpartum preeclampsia and trying to overcome subsequent breastfeeding issues made me feel completely out of control. Marisa was the guiding force, comforting presence and ballast of knowledge that helped me not only stay sane but gain confidence as a new mom. Her experience is dwarfed only by her sense of humor and keen ability to meet you where you are. She fed us (expertly) when we were tired and was a voice of reason when anxiety crept in. Marisa is a stellar postpartum doula and cook and a phenomenal human. I will always be grateful for the weeks she worked with our family and will cherish many of the insights she shared.
