Amanda Sorel, founder and postpartum doula at Aurore Atelier

Amanda Sorel

CAPPA Certified Postpartum Doula

Amanda lives in Brooklyn with her family: two teenage stepchildren, her baby daughter, and two dogs.

She started Aurore Atelier because a parent’s recovery can be overlooked once the baby arrives. Her work makes sure the parent is cared for, too.

When is the right time to get in touch?

Families can get in touch during pregnancy or after the baby arrives.
