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 am constantly motivated to be the best version of myself every day. I enjoy learning and enjoy serving. I love spending time with family and friends. 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 focus on tailored care that is specific to each client or family. And I hope that I can help you! Text 4845091452 for all inquiries.

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.

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 ❤️

Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m a birth doula based in Perkiomenville, PA, and I love supporting families in both Montgomery and Bucks counties. My passion for this work comes from wanting to help parents feel cared for and confident as they step into the big transition of welcoming a new baby. As your doula, I’ll be there to support both you and your partner—helping you feel calm, prepared, and confident through birth and into postpartum. Think of me as a steady, reassuring presence by your side throughout the whole journey. When I’m not at a birth, you’ll usually find me outside with my husband and daughter, soaking up the fresh air. And in quieter moments, I love to knit—especially baby blankets, which have become my favorite little keepsakes to make.

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’m a birth and postpartum doula serving families throughout the Baltimore, DC, Southern Pennsylvania, and Southern Maryland areas. My work is rooted in one core belief: when a mother is deeply supported, nurtured, and cared for, she is better able to care for her baby and step into motherhood with confidence and grace. I specialize in supporting mothers through some of the most vulnerable and transformative seasons of life — including high-risk pregnancies, birth trauma, postpartum mood disorders, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), chronic illness, pregnancy after loss, and complex postpartum recovery. My background in psychiatric rehabilitation counseling allows me to bring a unique understanding of emotional health, nervous system support, and compassionate care into the birth world. My approach is deeply intuitive, trauma-informed, and mother-centered. I believe birth is not just a medical event — it is a life-changing human experience that deserves respect, advocacy, emotional safety, and individualized support. Whether I’m supporting a laboring mother through transition, helping a postpartum mother heal after a cesarean, assisting with feeding challenges, or simply making sure a family feels seen and cared for, my goal is always the same: to “mother the mother.” I offer both birth and postpartum doula services, including overnight and daytime support, prenatal education, emotional support, recovery guidance, feeding support, and practical care for growing families. I am especially passionate about helping women trust themselves again after difficult experiences and creating spaces where mothers feel safe, empowered, and genuinely held. Beyond my work with clients, I’m passionate about maternal mental health advocacy, improving the birth experience for women, and creating honest conversations around motherhood, healing, and the realities of postpartum life. My work combines evidence-based education with warmth, intuition, humor, and deep compassion. At the heart of everything I do is the belief that mothers deserve quality care.

Hi my name is Nikkita and I am a labor doula and placenta encapsulation specialist based in DE. I've always had a love and awe for the miracle of conception, labor, and childbirth even before having kids of my own. Reflecting on my three different birthing experiences catapulted my desire to support and empower expecting mothers before during and after their labor. I love adding a little bit of laughter and a lot of love to every labor and delivery room I enter. I attributes the life I've been blessed to live as a wife and mother and the calling to be a doula to my Christian faith and the peace that comes with it. My personal goal is to support every momma I have the pleasure of serving with my whole heart, so that the momma can have a birthing experience that makes her proud!
