My name is Lydia-Carlie (she/her) and I am a queer Black Haitian perinatal wellness practitioner. My journey to this work began very early on; I was raised in a multi-generational Haitian household where I was blessed to see my paternal grandmother care for my aunts through their birth and postpartum journeys. While being immersed in the births around me, I was fascinated with caring for my younger brother, and younger cousins. I dedicate my work to my lineage, those who came before in this work, and to the memories of my paternal grandmother, Liliane; my maternal grandmother, Eugenie; and my mother, Ghinna.

​

I am a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, a certified Health Educator, a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Advocate, and a certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist specializing in prenatal, perinatal, and postpartum recovery massage.  

My practice, SageFemme Wellness supports families through their pregnancy, birth, postpartum journeys and beyond.

​

My mission is to fill the gaps in the prenatal care and postpartum recovery experience through therapeutic massage therapy services and comprehensive support services. I believe that the journey from pregnancy through birth is a marathon that requires a support team! I offer the guidance, emotional support, and physical support needed during this time so that every birthing experience is safe, positive, and empowering.
