The Asian Birth Collective of New York City connects Asian birthing families to Asian birth workers and perinatal providers.

The ABC-NYC community supports, honors, and celebrates the diversity of Asian birthing families and experiences.


“As a Chinese woman and first time mother, I wanted to find a doula who would understand the intricacies of my culture, with whom I could communicate with ease in times of duress, and who has first-hand experience with having an Asian body. I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find a doula who could understand my needs, physically and psychologically, during this vulnerable period.”

— LINDA HUANG, ASIAN-AMERICAN PARENT
