Birth Doula Support

As a birth doula, I provide compassionate  support to families preparing for labor, birth, and the early moments after welcoming their baby. My role as your birth doula is to provide care and support that acknowledges the educational, emotional, spiritual, social, and physical factors that can impact the perinatal journey.  I provide birth doula services in Philadelphia, PA and South Jersey, supporting families throughout the city and nearby communities (up to 1 hour from 19143 zipcode).  I support families planning hospital, birth center, and home births.

My approach to birth doula care is:

  • Evidence-based — grounded in current research and best practices

  • Trauma-informed — honoring past experiences and emotional safety

  • Culturally responsive — respecting each family’s values, culture, and lived experience

Insurance Coverage

If you are looking for a doula near you that accepts insurance, I accept Pennsylvania and New Jersey Medicaid and can currently accept the following insurance plans below, with insurance covering up to 12 prenatal/postpartum visits (1 hour) and attendance at your birth. We can work together to create a package that works best for you. However, for first time birthers, most of the visits will be used for childbirth and newborn care education.
