My philosophy is rooted in prevention, presence and peace of mind. I believe every family deserves calm, respectful and individualized care as they welcome a new baby. I am there to steady the room—not to take over—so parents can rest, recover, ask questions and become more confident in understanding their baby and trusting themselves. I am passionate about overnight postpartum care, newborn safety, feeding and lactation support, and protecting the emotional well-being of the entire family. With more than 20 years of professional newborn and family-care experience, I understand that every household has its own values, preferences and rhythms. I listen carefully, support without judgment and offer evidence-informed guidance that is thoughtfully adapted to each family.

Recent review

In the depths of my own postpartum dark night and fear literally spreading through the world on a global level, Bethany was the one simple, easy choice I made with zero regrets. Hmmmm. Do I want a loving, steady, calm, peaceful human being in my home? Do I want someone who will come with a song in her heart and thoughtful activities like children’s Yoga and books about Mrs. Badger’s mountain foraging adventures? Do I want that same thoughtfulness to radiate out to me in how she cares for my home while she’s there…the sink full of dishes done, the million little baby clothes all tidily folded and put away, the real human conversations that allow me today to call Bethany- not only an integral part of my support community-but also a friend? Yes! Yes. Yes. Yes. She’s worth every penny of the investment, and, even more than that…Mama, YOU are worth every penny of the investment. I think we are all waking up to the fact that how mothers and babies are treated matters. Not just to that one family she touches…but to the world as a whole. Bethany has devoted her life to centering the care of women and babies and, if you ask me, there is truly no higher or more impactful calling. 🩷

Greetings, my name is Makeda and I am based in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. I am honored to support families during the transformative experience of welcoming a new baby. I am dedicated to offering personalized at-home care and practical assistance during the early day, weeks, and months after childbirth. My goal is help mothers and families build a strong foundation for long-term confidence, good mental health, and secure attachments with baby. Think of me as your calm, knowledgeable guide, helping you navigate with confidence and ease.

Recent review

I have witnessed firsthand the extraordinary compassion, dedication, and warmth she brings to every aspect of her life. I wholeheartedly believe she will be exceptional in this role. Makeda’s work ethic is something I have always deeply admired. When she commits to something, she gives it her entire heart. She approaches this work not as a casual interest but as a true calling. She studies diligently and constantly seeks to deepen her understanding of maternal and newborn health. Her professionalism is evident in how seriously she takes her preparation and how she holds herself accountable to the highest standards in everything she does. One of Makeda’s greatest gifts is her ability to communicate with both warmth and clarity. She has a natural way of making people feel heard and understood. Whether she is offering guidance to a new parent, sharing information, or simply listening, she creates a space of trust and safety. I have watched her interact with expectant and new mothers, and her presence is immediately calming. She has an intuitive ability to read a room, to know when someone needs encouragement and when they simply need a steady, reassuring hand. This is a rare and invaluable quality for someone entrusted with the care of newborns and their families. At her core, Makeda is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever known. Originally from Trinidad, she carries with her a deep cultural appreciation for community, family, and the sacred experience of welcoming new life into the world. Her background working with children has given her a profound understanding of families' needs and the importance of nurturing support during life’s most tender moments. She has a remarkable gift for connecting with little ones, offering patience, gentleness, and a love that is felt deeply by every child she cares for. Watching her with the children in our family has only strengthened my confidence that she is meant for this work. Makeda’s passion has also inspired me to advocate. She is deeply committed to ensuring that every mother and newborn receives informed, compassionate, and empowering care. She understands the disparities in maternal and infant healthcare and is driven by a genuine desire to make a difference - one family at a time. She is the kind of person who will stand beside a family not only during those precious early days but throughout the entire journey, with grace, knowledge, and an unshakable calm. She has the heart, the mind, and the spirit to be a truly outstanding Postpartum doula and Newborn Care Specialist. Any family that has her by their side will be profoundly fortunate.

I enjoy empowering families, promoting health, and fostering resilience for birth moms.

Recent review

I loved my experience with Alisha. From the start to the ending. Talking to her about the pregnancy use to bring me comfort. She gave me plenty of resources while pregnant and after I gave birth. During birth she was extra supportive. Even tho my birth plan did not go as plan she stuck by myself my whole c section and held my hand. 23 hours in labor she kept me calm bringing games and everything to keep my mind calm. I just overall appreciate her and if I ever had another baby I would want her as my doula again. 5 stars isn’t enough to rate her. She more like a million stars. Thank you so much for the experience and the comfort you bought through out the experience. And I appreciate you.

In addition, I have worked as a private nanny, providing personalized care to families. Coming from a large family, I have been caring for babies for as long as I can remember, which naturally led me to the world of infant care. I am passionate about my work as a doula, knowing that doulas make a real difference in the community. I truly enjoy supporting families and ensuring they receive the care they deserve. I would be honored to help support your family during your postpartum period!

Recent review

We hired Naomi as i postpartum doula in January throughout the 12 weeks, Naomi consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the needs of both the newborn and the new parents. Her ability to create a calm and comforting environment during the nighttime hours allowed my partner and I to get the essential rest we needed to navigate the challenges of early parenthood. Naomi's knowledge of postpartum recovery, breastfeeding support, and soothing techniques for infants was very useful to us. Naomi's professionalism, punctuality, and reliability was evident throughout the entire duration of her service. She communicated effectively, ensuring that we were always on the same page regarding our daughter's care and any specific concerns or preferences we had. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of Naomi and her outstanding skills as a postpartum doula. We’d be happy to recommend Naomi to anyone in need of support during there postpartum journey!
