Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Bethlehem, PA

Greetings All! My name is Shannon Venus Taylor, the owner of Venus Birth Space As a certified birth & postpartum doula and childbirth educator I am dedicated to holding space for families to feel supported and empowered through compassion, authenticity, education, holistic care and mindfulness. I believe birth is a sacred space of transformation. Birth reveals the purest parts of ourselves, changing the mind and body. Supporting Philadelphia Metropolitan area, surrounding suburban areas (Delaware County, Bucks County, Montgomery County) and New Jersey.

My journey into birth work began eight years ago after the birth of my son and deepened through my experience as a gestational surrogate and, most recently, the birth of my daughter this past summer. Those journeys which were both beautiful and challenging, showed me the power of feeling seen and supported. My own doula’s care really inspired me to offer that same gift to others. I hold a Master’s in Counseling, am a National Certified Counselor, and am a Certified Doula through New Beginnings Doula Training. I’m currently pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor credential and Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). I also serve as a Specialized Support Coordinator for Postpartum Support International for birth trauma, where I connect families to resources for the postpartum journey including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and birth trauma. To me, birth is a mind, body, and spiritual experience. My approach blends compassion, trauma-informed care, advocacy, and holistic practices to help you feel empowered and heard.

I am trained to be non-biased and have no judgment towards any type of birth. I am excited to attend and support any birth experience that may arise. I provide women with emotional, physical and educational support throughout pregnancy, labor and postpartum. As a Doula, all I want is to be there for you. Let’s get started.

Meet Marla, a dedicated birth doula whose practice blends compassionate, hands-on labor support with the power of hypnosis. With years of experience guiding families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, Marla offers more than physical comfort measures—she brings a toolkit of relaxation and hypnosis techniques designed to help you feel calm, capable, and in control throughout your birth experience. Hypnosis for birth works by helping you shift out of fear and tension and into a state of deep relaxation, where your body can labor more naturally and efficiently. The benefits are well documented: Reduced perceived pain — Deep relaxation lowers the body's stress response, which can ease the intensity of contractions. Shorter, smoother labors — When fear and tension decrease, labor often progresses more efficiently because the body isn't working against itself. Less need for medical pain intervention — Many who practice hypnosis techniques report needing fewer interventions like epidurals or pain medication. Greater sense of calm and control — Guided visualization and positive suggestion help you stay present and confident rather than overwhelmed. Faster postpartum recovery — Lower stress hormones during labor are linked to a smoother transition into postpartum healing and bonding. With Marla by your side, you'll learn self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques well before your due date, so that by the time labor begins, your mind and body already know how to work together. Her goal is simple: to help you feel supported, empowered, and deeply at peace as you welcome your baby into the world.

Hi, I’m Domonique Franklin, Birth Doula and founder of The Franklin Birth Collective. My connection to birth work began long before I officially became a doula. For nearly 20 years, I’ve found myself supporting women through pregnancy, childbirth, and the transition into motherhood. After having the privilege of personally supporting four births, along with my professional background in OB/GYN medical assisting, I realized that supporting families through one of the most meaningful moments of their lives was more than something I loved—it was work I felt deeply called to do. That calling led me to further my education and earn my Birth Doula Diploma with Distinction. Today, through The Franklin Birth Collective, I provide compassionate, non-medical support to help expecting families feel informed, prepared, heard, and supported throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum journey. Every birth is different. Every family deserves support that honors their choices. Your Birth. Your Decisions. My Support. Empowered Births. Supported Beginnings. 🤎

You weren’t meant to do this alone. There comes a moment after the visitors leave, the meals stop coming, and the texts become less frequent. It’s 2:43 a.m. Your baby has been awake for hours. You’re running on almost no sleep. You haven’t eaten a real meal today. You’re wondering if you’re doing any of this right. No one prepares you for that part. I’m Afrika, a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over 17 years of experience supporting more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender weeks that follow. I don’t just care for babies. I care for the people who just became parents. Whether you need overnight newborn care so you can finally sleep, daytime support while you recover, help establishing feeding routines, emotional encouragement, or simply another capable adult in your home, I meet you exactly where you are. When I’m in your home, my goal is simple: I want you to exhale. To eat while your food is still warm. To shower without rushing. To sleep knowing your baby is in experienced hands. To feel cared for while you’re caring for everyone else. Because healing happens best when someone is helping hold the weight. This isn’t luxury. This is how families were always meant to be supported. If you’re preparing for your first baby, or welcoming another, I’d be honored to become part of your village.

I am a Full Service Doula who specialises in and provides support to all birthing persons from bump to birth to baby and beyond..

Hi, I’m Kellie, a birth doula, pediatric nurse, women’s health herbalist, and the heart behind The Nourished Mother. I bring over a decade of nursing experience into the birth space, along with a deep reverence for the physiology of a woman’s body. My approach blends evidence-based care with herbal wisdom, breathwork, and somatic practices that help women soften, trust, and embody their power during pregnancy and birth. I believe birth preparation is not just about learning positions or writing a birth plan. It is about reconnecting to your body. It is about learning how your breath can soften your pelvic floor. It is about helping your partner feel confident holding you through intensity. It is about cultivating safety in your nervous system so your body can open. During our time together, we will prepare not only for labor, but for postpartum. We will discuss hormonal shifts, recovery, nourishment, support systems, and the emotional transformation into motherhood. I often incorporate herbal teas, grounding rituals, breathwork, and practical postpartum planning into our prenatal sessions. As both a nurse and a doula, I am comfortable navigating conversations with medical providers while also protecting the sacredness of your experience. I am a calm, steady presence who listens deeply and advocates clearly. My hope is that you feel informed, supported, and deeply connected to your body as you step into birth and motherhood. You deserve to feel nourished in every phase ❤️

My name is Markita Roberts, and I am a dedicated mother of two boys. My journey as a parent has inspired me to focus on educating and empowering families to make informed decisions. I aspire to create an inclusive platform where knowledge can be shared freely, and resources can be provided that resonate with your lifestyle. My motivation stems from personal experiences that highlighted the importance of support, education, and advocacy in the birthing process. I aim to provide emotional and physical comfort, ensuring that parents feel safe and respected in their choices regardless of how they choose to give birth. I recognize that every parent’s journey is unique, and I want to help them navigate their options with confidence and knowledge. I inspire to create an environment where mothers can embrace their strengths, celebrate their bodies and cherish the moments surrounding childbirth. My focus is on the parents and baby's well-being throughout the course of pregnancy and postpartum with a huge emphasis on mental health and self-care and God. Ultimately it is my goal to foster positive childbirth experiences that resonate long after the baby arrives, leaving parents with lasting feelings of empowerment and joy.
