About the Provider
Guramrit (she/her) is a Certified Lactation Counselor, in addition to being a birth/postpartum doula and co-owner of Ashe Birthing Services and the co-founder of The Bridge Directory.
After studying Magazine Journalism at Syracuse University, Guramrit spent the first few years after college working at various publications, including Parenting Magazine, before working in marketing. She also completed training as a holistic health counselor while publishing her first cookbook, Yogi Eats.
It was through these interactions with her audience and clients, many of whom were pregnant or birthing people, that she became involved in birth work. She jumped right in and immediately felt in alignment. Though her professional life has spanned many different industries, each path shared the common denominator of amplifying the voices of those in under-served communities, especially in New York City and throughout New York State.
Nurturing, educating, and uplifting families during transformational moments are essential to her work as both a doula and a lactation counselor. Her commitment to this has only been deepened by becoming a mother to a son and daughter. Through their breastfeeding journeys, Guramrit was inspired to seek additional training and mentoring in Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) and airway health.
When not working with patients, Guramrit is pursuing a master's degree in Infant + Maternal Nutrition with a focus on a holistic approach to pregnancy, postpartum, and infant/toddler feeding. Guramrit is also pursuing her certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is the recipient of the Fall 2023 IBCLC Education Scholarship from the US Lactation Consultants Association.
Guramrit sees patients in her home office in the Bronx and offers home visits in the Bronx, Uptown, UES & UWS, Westchester, and Queens.
