At Nurtured by Birdie, we believe support should be personal, expert, and rooted in real experience. Founded by Dr. Anna Villasuso and Sheily Nishman, our mission is to walk alongside mothers and babies with compassionate, individualized care through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Dr. Anna Villasuso is a board-certified Pediatric APRN and Doctor of Nursing Practice, currently completing her certificate in midwifery. She brings years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatrics—across hospital, birth center, and home birth settings. Her care blends clinical excellence with a deep respect for the unique needs of each mother and baby.

Sheily Nishman is a birth and postpartum doula whose passion for supporting women was born from her own powerful birth stories—a traumatic cesarean followed by a triumphant home VBAC. Her lived experience has shaped her into a trusted guide and fierce advocate for informed, empowered birth.

Together, we offer a holistic, heart-centered approach to maternal and infant care—one that honors your story, your instincts, and your journey.
