about me

Beth Scheppke (she/her/hers) is a Certified Birth Doula (CHB), Full Spectrum Doula (Cornerstone), Hypnobirthing Doula (HBNY), Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator (DTI) based in Brooklyn, New York. Using nonjudgemental consulting, vetted resources, her immense knowledge of birthing in NYC and a sense of humor, Beth aims for her clients to feel seen, prepared and empowered throughout their childbearing year. As a service industry veteran and an all-around people person, Beth is drawn to the work for the genuine connections she makes with her clients and strives to improve birthing experiences and outcomes for families of all kinds.

Beth began her work as a doula in 2018, and has since supported hundreds of families in all boroughs of NYC, in hospitals, birth centers and at home. She relishes the unique challenges that come with every birth and feels a great deal of satisfaction in supporting folks as they work towards their birthing goals.

When she's not supporting families, Beth could be found singing with a chamber choir, running in a race or dancing in her kitchen to the radio (WFMU). She's originally from Oregon, but has called New York her home since 2016. She resides in East Williamsburg with her partner and beloved cat Clover.
