Katelyn McGuinness - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Katelyn

Hello! I’m Katie! I am certified birth and postpartum doula(DONA).I am located in South Park, Pa. I have been working with little ones for about 15 years and I have been in the birth field for about 3 of those years. I absolutely love supporting families! I have all clearances, CPR certification, and am extremely reliable. On top of being a private doula I also work at Magee Women’s hospital as a prenatal and birth doula for the last three years supporting over a hundred births at this point! Being part of someone’s birth journey is always such an honor. I try to bring a calm and confident presence in the room to help you with all of your birth goals; and help you to have the birth you imagined. If I’m not at a birth or helping a family overnight with their new bundle of joy; you would find me with my little family. My husband and I have been married since 2017 and we have a little boy who is almost 6 years old! Some of our favorite things are camping, going to the movies and vacations to Disney world !

Working with Katie as a night time postpartum doula was truly invaluable during our newborn stage. Those first few weeks can be exhausting, and having professional overnight support made all the difference in our family’s well-being. I was able to rest knowing my baby was in experienced, attentive, and caring hands. She handled feedings, diaper changes, and soothing with such calm confidence, and always kept me informed while still allowing me the uninterrupted sleep I desperately needed. She also helped in my breastfeeding journey as she would bring the baby to me and put the baby back in the bassinet for me so I never had to leave the bed. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and dependable night time postpartum support. It was one of the best investments we made for our family.

I have known Kate all the way back to our high school years. She has always had a passion for helping people! Her number one goal in life was becoming the best mother she can be! Her patience, guidance, and all around natural gift of just being able to calm a little soul is magical. She will always make sure you are well taken care of and will treat you as her main priority. If she was a doula back when I gave birth…she would be my number one call because she has always been a reliable person, friend, and mother! Choose her for a relaxed and none stress birth/after birth experience!
