Angela De Nigro

Angela is a DONA trained birth doula, with specialized training in prenatal yoga. She earned her yoga teaching certification in 2018, and since then has been guiding others to find joy in functional movement. Her doula journey is rooted in community care; Angela became interested in becoming a doula when she saw the growing need for perinatal support in our communities. She knows how valuable it is to have an additional support person to offer consistent emotional, physical and informational support to parents during this time of growth.

Angela identifies as queer and her practice is inclusive of all people. All bodies and people deserve support and should be treated with loving care. She knows that doula support can be impactful by helping to reduce disparities in maternal health outcomes.

Angela is inspired by the rituals and rhythms of nature. She loves to watch nature’s transitions—the seasons changing, birth and growth, awakening—and takes cues from the natural world to order her own life. From nature, she has learned to observe, listen to cues, to step forward in some seasons and to step back in others.

Angela’s style of care is evidence-based, intuitive, and empowering. She wants people to feel informed, supported, safe, and cared for on their journeys. She uses many tools to achieve these goals, including touch, talk, and being a trusted source of information. She takes pride in being the person who offers helpful assistance and helping others embody their strength.

In her free time, Angela loves to be outdoors. At home, she pets her cat, Moonbeam, and loves to sit with a hot cup of tea and a pair of binoculars to watch the birds. She loves backpacking and has hiked hundreds of miles on the Appalachian Trail. Being of service to others and filling other peoples’ cups also fills her cup. She values resilience, sustainability, and diversity. Most of all though, she looks for ways to engage in radical joy every day.
