Birth Doula Support in Philadelphia
As a birth doula in Philadelphia, 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.
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
Doula care supports both the birthing person and their partner. I help partners feel confident and involved by:
-
Offering suggestions for hands-on comfort support
-
Helping partners understand what’s happening during labor
-
Encouraging rest, hydration, and pacing
-
Creating space for partners to show up in ways that feel natural to them
My goal is to support the entire birth team so everyone feels grounded and connected.
Serving Philadelphia Families
I provide birth doula services in Philadelphia, PA, supporting families throughout the city and nearby communities. Care is provided in collaboration with your chosen medical team and birth setting. I support families planning hospital, birth center, and home births throughout Philadelphia and surrounding areas!
I am a Pennsylvania and New Jersey Medicaid doula provider and can currently accept the following insurance plans below FOR BIRTH DOULA SERVICES ONLY, with insurance covering prenatal/postpartum visits and attendance at your birth. We can work together to create a package that works best for you. However, for first time birthers, 4 out of the 8 visits will be used for childbirth education and preparation.
If you are searching for a birth doula near you in Philadelphia or South Jersey (especially one that takes Medicaid!), I would be honored to support you during this transformative time.
