Genevieve Bergeret is a certified full-spectrum doula trained by Doula Trainings International (birth and postpartum) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) trained by Healthy Children Project and a LacPro through Go Milk Yourself. She is the protégé of the amazing Francie Webb of #GoMilkYourself fame. With experience in Comforting Touch and her background in coaching, Genevieve supports people through the monumental life experience of birth with power, freedom, and ease - regardless of what happens along the way.

Genevieve will take care of you in all aspects of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum period while listening for what you really want. Before birth, she'll help you fine tune your birth preferences and prepare your support team for your ideal birth experience. During birth, if anything comes up that deviates from your desires, she is an expert at slowing down the situation, explaining your options, and helping you make powerful choices. No matter what you are dealing with, she's in your corner.

In Postpartum, Genevieve supports new parents in learning to trust their instincts and learn their baby’s cues. She provides many resources as well as tips for soothing and caring for your baby. One of her specialties is overnight postpartum care, where parents can optimize on sleep and recovery and wake up to a prepared meal or baked treat of their choice. 

A native New Yorker, Genevieve lives in Washington Heights and is the founder of Bright Day Doula. With a background in teaching and life coaching, Genevieve has a proven track record of helping people turn their intentions into their reality. She spent twelve years living abroad, most notably in the Netherlands where home birth is the norm — this has influenced her greatly as a doula. She has also lived in Japan and studied in Spain and France.

Along with being multilingual (fluent Dutch, intermediate Spanish, and conversational French and Japanese.), Genevieve has a special capacity to be with people from all backgrounds. She is culturally competent and supportive of LGBTQIA families as well as solo parents.
