Ciao! I’m Allie. ¡Hola! Soy Allie
I was born Allison Louise Cuozzo in the same hospital my grandma Rose gave birth to my father. My incredible mama had a VBAC with me in late July 1988 at Saint Raphael Hospital in New Haven, CT. I spent childhood being a sporty, sensitive girlie, raised as the youngest female among a big, Italian family in southeastern Massachusetts. I graduated summa cum laude from Union College (NY) with a double degree in Spanish & Studio Arts. After receiving a postgraduate fellowship to work in a health clinic & foster a women’s microfinance program in rural Esmeraldas, a coastal province in Ecuador, the groundwork for my interest in care after el malparto (miscarriage), prenatal health, teenage pregnancies & labor comfort grew. I moved much farther north along the Pacific & cultivated a career in the design sector in San Francisco, California. It is here I met my first birthwork mentor, a home birth midwife (CPM). This approach to birth, alongside feeling incredibly activated to layer in other ways of feeling well beyond allopathic faculties, led me to pivot to complete a clinical program in holistic medicine in Sonoma County, California at The California School of Herbal Studies. Along the way, I have prioritize community, committed to stewarding relationships with the ecological landscape & believed that each of us is the imperfect boss of our innate composition, story.
I predominately work in hospitals (Mt. Auburn, South Shore, Beth Israel Boston, Brigham, Cape Cod Hospital, Tufts Medical Center, UMASS Memorial).
I am in the process of policy advocacy for integrating doula care into foster families; I am a foster parent to a 3 year old girl, Italy.
In 2026 I founded La Fuente, a 501c3 that acknowledges the immensely difficult terrain of motherhood & the uptick of immigration
My mission is to provide the most data-driven, heart centered, strongest + calmest birth experience to pregnant people within the Greater Boston community which I now (re)call home.
