I've always been passionate about pregnancy and birth, reproductive justice, and mental health. Being a doula naturally combines all of those! After I attended my first birth, I was instantly drawn to being a birth partner. Shortly after, I expanded my expertise to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor, and then gave birth to my own child in 2021. I became a childbirth educator in 2025. I love being a doula because it gives me the opportunity to mentor birthing people and their families, to uplift them in advocating for their reproductive and mental health, and to validate their feelings, instincts, and celebrations. Every person has a right to be supported before, during, and after their birth. Birth is big. It comes with such a spectrum of emotions, joys, challenges, and experiences. I support parents to utilize their own strengths and abilities through all of the “bigness” of birth. I want to provide birthing people with a comforting, nonjudgmental, and empowering support as they and their families go through this exciting and sometimes emotionally intense life transition. I believe that every person deserves love and support; there is nothing special that you need to do or know or be in order to be worthy of it. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are unique to each and every person, and I honor each individual's choices. I offer my services to individuals and families of all walks of life.

I used Natalia’s doula services for labor and delivery of my 2nd baby in july. She was supportive, encouraging, and very knowledgeable during the prenatal appointments which helped me prepare for labor. She helped me design my birth plan during my prenatal and answered all of my questions. I was so proud of my L&D as I stayed away from an epidural until 1 hr before pushing and I couldn’t have done that without Natalia’s support! On top of that she was balancing another mamma who went into labor at the same time, and she always made me feel like a priority. Her prayers over me as I was in active labor were the biggest blessing. I would recommend Natalia to anyone looking for doula care 😊

I've been supporting families in the prenatal, birth and postpartum period for over 15 years. I currently work primarily as a lactation consultant, but I'm also a Registered Nurse, Certified Doula- Postpartum and Infant Care and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator. I do lactation home visits and postpartum doula support in the Pittsburgh area. I specialize in supporting families from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ families, international families and families of all configurations and backgrounds. I love learning about languages and cultures as well as helping families learn to understand their babies' language and development. I also support families with sleep questions via Holistic Sleep Coaching methods.

Wow, where to even start!! We worked with Lisa as our doula to support us through our first pregnancy & birth of our son. I knew as soon as I got pregnant that I wanted to hire a doula, and after our chat with Lisa, we knew immediately that she was the one. Her depth of knowledge and passion for her career was apparent as soon as we started talking to her. Not only that, but she is incredibly kind and caring - I immediately felt safe and supported by her. Throughout my pregnancy I asked her lots of random questions and she never batted an eye & always provided clear answers and resources. She even said to me “don’t google anything, I’m your Google” and I REALLY appreciated that because I had a tendency to google everything and freak myself out!! But where Lisa really blew us away was during my labor & delivery. I had a hard and long labor that ended in a c section, and I am SO grateful Lisa was there to support my husband and I throughout the process. She helped me get into comfortable positions after my epidural, gave me an incredible massage to help me relax, and kept me & my husband informed about what was going on throughout labor. When I found out I needed to have a c section, she asked my providers all the right questions and comforted me before / during my procedure. She took photos of my husband and I meeting our baby for the first time, and held our baby up to my face for skin to skin when my husband needed to leave the room to move our things to recovery. Having her there to support us through the twists and turns of labor and delivery was TRULY a game changer, especially when things got stressful. She kept us both grounded and calm when we needed it most. I could keep going on and on about how amazing Lisa is, but I’ll finish by saying: hire her !!! she was worth every penny - truly the best investment we made, and I’ll remember her kindness and support forever. If we have another kid, she’ll be one of our first calls. We love Lisa!!! 💗💗💗

Shanaee was so wonderful to work with! She began supporting us when our baby was one week old, and worked with us up until three months. She really helped us get on a schedule and learn more about how to reduce our babies gassiness. She is a miracle worker and can soothe any baby to sleep! We also have a two year-old and she was really great with our toddler as well. Besides baby care she also helped with some household tasks that were really getting on top of us, such as folding laundry and doing some meal prep and bottle washing. I had a very difficult postpartum period with my first and I was really eager to work with a Doula this time postpartum who would help me with the transition and she was a really great person to talk to and make me feel less alone in those first couple of weeks and months. I have nothing but good things to say about Shanaee and would recommend her to any family.

Robin absolutely saved my breastfeeding journey, I was ready to quit. She helped recognize my baby was not transferring milk well which ultimately led to him needing a tongue tie release. She was an absolute angel and have continued to keep in touch!

Medina is AMAZING. We hired her for a postpartum doula, and she was such an amazing emotional support. It was amazing that she is also a massage therapist. I got massages frequently, which helped with my stress so much. She was always very helpful with baby, and had so many resources and advice for me whenever I needed it. I wish we could have had her longer. She is a true blessing!!
