Grounded Support for Your Fourth Trimester
Compassionate postpartum doula support to help you feel prepared, heard, confident and empowered as you find your rhythm with your new baby.
Serving Rochester, NY & surrounding areas
Hi, I’m Deanna Palumbo. My passion for supporting families grew from my own transition into motherhood and experiencing firsthand how valuable compassionate postpartum care can be.
As a trained postpartum doula, I provide calm, practical and nonjudgmental support that helps parents rest, recover, build confidence and find their rhythm with a new baby.
Every family’s journey is different, and my goal is to meet you where you are and help you feel supported through your fourth trimester.

Who I serve
At Root & Rise Doula, I support families during the early postpartum period who want compassionate, steady, and practical help as they transition into life with their baby.
I work with parents who may be recovering physically from birth, adjusting to life with a newborn, looking for breastfeeding support, navigating feeding/sleep rhythms, or simply feeling overwhelmed with the demands of early parenting.
My clients value calm, nonjudgmental support. Whether this is their first or fifth baby, families can turn to Root & Rise Doula for reliable, grounded, and knowledgeable care.
I primarily serve families who want help protecting the birthing parent’s rest, promoting recovery, building confidence in newborn care, and creating a smoother, more sustainable fourth trimester experience.
