Casa Mango Birthwork

I'm Larissa (she/ela/ella), a birth and postpartum doula based in Philadelphia, PA. My practice is rooted in the beliefs that birthing people hold innate wisdom in their bodies, that community care is self-care, and that we all deserve safe, affirming, size- and gender-inclusive reproductive healthcare.

As a birthworker, I offer a compassionate and comforting presence, intuitive and evidence-based information, physical support, fierce advocacy, and an inclusive space for birthing people of all backgrounds to move through pregnancy and labor peacefully and confidently.

In my free time, I love to cook, read, journal, play volleyball, do Pilates, and make pottery. I'm passionate about weaving mindfulness, movement, and postpartum nourishment into birthwork in joyful ways. I'm lucky to live with my wife and our Siberian husky, Olaf.

Eu também falo português e adoraria trabalhar com famílias brasileiras. 🇧🇷
