For the past 9 years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside families during one of the most transformative times in their lives: pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. My work as a doula is rooted in a deep belief that every person deserves to feel informed, empowered, and fully supported as they bring life into the world. I take a holistic, judgment-free approach to care — honoring your unique preferences and values. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or anything in between, I provide compassionate support tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel confident, empowered, calm, and connected every step of the way. Let’s build the birth and postpartum experience you envision, together.

Hi! I'm Yanesa, a certified doula and founder of Doulas Through Life. We support families in Eastern PA. We offer primarily prenatal, postpartum, overnight support, birth, newborn care, emotional wellness, and more. I myself have been a doula for 5 years now currently work with an agency as well. Whether you are a first-time parent or growing your family, my goal is to help you feel confident and cared for. I like working with kids but as a doula I have grown to love working with the parents as well. Seeing a family grow and gain confidence is so precious and fulfilling. Both mom and dad (yes dads can have postpartum) need love to. And I try to emphasize that within my company. I majored in public health and have used that knowledge to better equip doula care to be more community based and well known and not some secret society haha. It doesn't always take a village but it truly does make all the difference having one by your side and we all deserve too. Doulas Through Life is a team-based practice, so we match each family with the doula who best fits their needs, availability, and type of support requested.

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.

Meet Kamilla Kamilla is a Full Spectrum Doula through Cornerstone Birthwork Training, as well as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) trained through Newborn Care Solutions. With over 5 years of international experience, she is passionate about providing compassionate, knowledgeable, and individualized support to families during the postpartum and newborn period. Born and raised in Brazil in a large, loving family, Kamilla grew up surrounded by caregiving. Inspired by her grandmother, a traditional midwife, she developed a deep connection to newborn care, maternal support, and nurturing practices from an early age. Her passion for postpartum care became even more personal after supporting her own mother through postpartum depression. This experience gave her a deeper understanding of how vulnerable, emotional, and overwhelming the postpartum transition can be. Through her professional experience, she has also supported families navigating baby blues and postpartum depression, always providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support while recognizing when additional professional care may be needed. Kamilla has additional training in Montessori Education, Sleep Training through Summer Secret, and Early Childhood Development. She is currently continuing her education in Breastfeeding Education through CAPPA and pursuing her nursing education to further expand her knowledge of maternal and newborn care. With a background in law and extensive hands-on experience caring for newborns and supporting families, Kamilla brings together professional education, practical experience, and genuine compassion. She understands that postpartum is not always the beautiful, effortless experience portrayed online. It can be exhausting, emotional, unpredictable, and overwhelming. Her goal is to create a calm and supportive environment where parents can rest, recover, bond with their baby, and feel confident in their new role. Kamilla provides individualized support based on each family’s unique needs, with a focus on newborn care, postpartum recovery, sleep support, feeding support, and the emotional well-being of the family. Her philosophy is simple: When we care for the mother, we care for the entire family.

With a name like "Sunni (the Doula)," I am looking to do what I can to bring the sunshine to one's birthing experience. I decided to become a full-spectrum doula with the belief that if my experiences, my care, my love, my knowledge, and my passion could help give someone the birthing experience that they desired and deserved, then I wanted to be a part of that journey. As someone with a "community-based" mindset, I truly believe that it takes a village, and I see my client's as family. You all share the most vulnerable and genuine parts of yourselves and your experience with me, and in return, you are provided with genuine love, support, and care. I am a lover of all things beauty and finding the beauty in all; so being out in nature, spending time with loved ones, and crafting in creating in a variety of different lenses is important to me.

My name is Grace Kovitch and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as craniosacral therapy practitioner located in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. When I started off as a birth doula, I quickly saw the drop off in care that happened with postpartum mothers, and have dedicated my career to making sure every new mom is educated, supported, and cared for. Postpartum support is truly where my heart is, and I love seeing the moment where a new mom starts to feel confident in her new role. When I'm not supporting families, you can find me hiking, backpacking, or spending time with my loved ones.
