Kati Frey

12 years of experience

Hi everyone! My name is Kati Frey and I am a Certified Childbirth Educator in Elizabethtown, PA. I am passionate about all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I founded BirthPrint after experiencing 2 different types of births: the first was what everyone expected of me and the second was the birth of my dreams. I love listening to everyone's stories and meeting them where they are. No two people are the same, therefore everyone should prepare for childbirth in a way that makes sense to them. This is the foundation of BirthPrint. My particular interests are helping mothers heal from past traumatic birth experiences, answering questions that seem too taboo to ask, and providing evidence based education that makes sense. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my 2 sons and husband, knitting, hiking, camping... pretty much anything outside!

I did a birthprint session with Kati over phone and then video for the education portion. The education was excellent and personalized for me. Loved that she was attentive to find out my needs and tailored everything to that, making it super relevant and concise. Loved the experience

I hope that with my professional attitude, welcoming demeanor, love of serving, and calming spirit, I will be able to support, care, and help countless expectant families.

I had the opportunity to witness Lauren provide postpartum care for a new mom and her baby, and I was so impressed by the level of support and compassion she offered. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive — always making sure both mom and baby were comfortable, cared for, and reassured during such a tender time. Her calming presence and thoughtful care really made a difference in the recovery process and helped create a peaceful, nurturing environment. It's clear that Lauren is passionate about what she does, and she brings a sense of warmth and professionalism that truly stands out. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for loving, reliable postpartum support!

Jennifer Rowe

13 years of experience

My passion and mission is to instinctively and directly provide education, support, and comfort during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum period for mommy and partner. I value creating a special bond with the parents through several prenatal appointments, labor and birth, and postpartum appointments at their home. While medical staff focus on the health of the baby and family tend to focus on the new bundle of joy, I focus on taking care of mom and partner. My attention is solely on you while you take care of your new little one.

5 stars isn’t enough for Jenny! Jenny was my postpartum doula & she is truly the best. She does a thorough intake (most other doulas I interviewed did not do this but it was so helpful) & really tailors her services to your families needs. From light household chores to staying up all night with the baby, she does it all with kindness and compassion. She took amazing care of me and my daughter for 8 weeks & if I could keep her forever I would have! She also has a ton of great resources & recommendations for parents so if you need a IBCLC or nanny referral she has one! If you are considering a postpartum doula, Jenny is a great choice!

Looking for a night nanny/postpartum doula? Hi, I’m Kristen, the owner of Starlight Newborn Care. I founded this business out of a heartfelt desire to provide families with the support and rest they truly need during the postpartum season. As a wife and mother of four, I deeply understand the joys, challenges, and exhaustion that come with welcoming a new baby. My goal is to help families feel supported, confident, and cared for as they navigate this precious, and often overwhelming, time. I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, night nanny and previous birth doula. I have experience working with preemies and multiples. Check out my website! www.starlightnewborncare.com

Kristen was an absolute lifesaver for our family—especially as first-time parents. She was reliable, professional, and incredibly warm, with such a sweet and gentle way with our newborn (and us). Each morning, she gave us a helpful recap of how our daughter slept and shared thoughtful, experience-based advice tailored to our baby’s habits. Her support gave us so much peace of mind (and much-needed rest!). Our only regret is not booking more nights with her in those early weeks!

Kellie Lynch

2 years of experience

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 ❤️

"Working with Kellie has been life-changing. She holds space with such warmth, wisdom, and care. I felt deeply seen and supported as I learned how to reconnect with myself in ways I never imagined. Her ability to guide with both deep knowledge and gentle presence is something truly special. With the tools she gently gave me, I feel confident in taking this next step on my journey ."

Melissa Meadows

16 years of experience

Hello , I'm Melissa Meadows, a Certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over 15 years experience. I provide nurturing ,personalized care to support families and help parents feel confident and prepared as they transition into life with a newborn. My services focus on providing advanced personal care and recovery support for postpartum parents while ensuring newborns receive expert care. From offering practical guidance and professional expertice to emotional support, I work hand-in-hand with families to creat a peaceful and empowering postartum experience.

Finding Melissa was one of the greatest gifts during my postpartum recovery. She truly became family to us. From the moment she walked into our home, she brought such a calming, loving presence that immediately put me at ease during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. Not only is she incredible with babies, but she also takes care of moms in a way that is hard to fully put into words. She helped ease my postpartum anxiety, encouraged me constantly, and made me feel supported, capable, and cared for every single day. She celebrated the wins with me, reassured me during the hard moments, and genuinely made my recovery experience so much more positive than I ever imagined it could be. She was amazing with our baby overnight, helped us establish routines, gave us confidence as parents, and somehow always knew exactly what we needed before we even had to ask. Getting real rest and knowing our baby was in such loving, capable hands was life changing. Melissa is not just a postpartum doula. She is a night angel, a support system, and one of the most special people we’ve ever welcomed into our home. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. Any family would be beyond lucky to have her during such an important chapter of life.

Shannon Venus Taylor

6 years of experience

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Shannon in the fall of 2023 until the delivery of my first child in January 2024. As a first time mother, it was so helpful having Shannon guide me through what to expect during all stages of labor, delivery and the 4th trimester. Shannon is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and kind. Her calming nature really came in handy in the delivery room! With Shannon’s knowledge and support, me and my husband had the tools to advocate for ourselves during the prenatal appointments and in the delivery room. Overall I had a really positive birthing experience and I believe that Shannon’s presence and support contributed to that. I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon’s services to any person seeking support on their birthing journey.

Hannah Wright

My name is Hannah and I’m a birth and postpartum doula. I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education and taught kindergarten until my son was born in 2020. Although my role adjusted when becoming a mother, a fire was ignited through my birth experience, and I started researching how I could make a difference. After my daughter’s redeeming home birth in 2022, I knew that becoming a doula was a tangible way I could impact mothers and the next generation for the better. By providing emotional support, evidence-based information and physical support, I strive to make the family’s life changing, transitional time a smoother one. I am trained through DONA as a birth doula and Lifespan doulas for postpartum work. Besides classroom experience, I also have nannied for several families over the past few years. It is my goal as your birth or postpartum doula to make you feel seen and heard. In my free time, you can find me spending time with my kiddos outside, serving at our local church, grabbing coffee with friends, going on family walks or experimenting in the kitchen.

Hannah was able to provide me with virtual and in person support for the birth of my baby. She quickly responded to any question I had and gave me clear, practical information tailored for me. She shares your emotional journey in a way that makes you feel empowered and validated for any feeling or question you may have. She is sweet, knowledgable, and comprehensive about what she knows. She is prepared with lots of different ideas for pain-reducing techniques during the natural birth of my baby as well as providing alternatives when needed. She displays an assertive, yet respectful bedside manner and advocates to the doctors and nurses with for your best interest. She checked in frequently and even reached out many times after my baby was born to check not only on the baby, but also me as well to see how I was doing physically and emotionally. She took lots of time to help me find out an answer to a pain I was having after birth and resolve it. She is easy to talk to and understanding of what you are going through. I would highly recommend hiring Hannah Wright to be your doula.

Amanda Sands

Hi, my name is Amanda Sands. I’m a mom of three, certified postpartum doula, and the owner of Mama Love Doula, LLC, based in Pennsburg, PA. My doula team and I provide daytime and overnight postpartum support to families throughout Montgomery, Bucks, Lehigh, and Berks Counties, as well as the Main Line. To me, mothers are the heart of the home. When moms are supported, everything else flows. With the help of a postpartum doula, mothers can rest and heal from childbirth, enjoy nourishing meals without the stress of preparing them, and focus on bonding with their baby—without worrying about cleaning, laundry, or everything else that comes with caring for a newborn. I believe that when mothers receive this kind of care and support, they don’t just get through postpartum—they truly thrive. When I’m not supporting families, you can find me spending time with my kids, snuggling with one of my three cats, listening to music, or getting lost in a good book. I genuinely love to clean (yes, really!), enjoy getting outside for walks and practicing yoga, and I’m always on the go running my kids to their many activities—especially during baseball season! It would truly be an honor to support you and your family during your postpartum journey. Learn more: www.mamalovedoula.com www.instagram.com/mamalovedoula

Amanda was our "fairy god-doula!". She was incredibly kind, patient, calm, and was vital to our transition as new parents. Not only did she care for our newborn, but she also made sure we were cared for as well - with nourishing meals, clean laundry, making sure the house was tidy, and giving us time to rest and reset. Her presence made the "newborn trenches", which can be overwhelming to most, a period of comfort and calm in our home. It allowed me to focus on my own recovery and spend quality time with my baby, which I will always cherish. I am so grateful for her services and could not imagine how I would have gotten through that time without her.
