As a Certified Labor Doula working in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area since 2020, I offer personalized birthing, lactation, and postpartum support as well as childbirth & postpartum education. My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about pregnancy, delivery, feeding, and parenting. ​ I am inspired by women's strength and the miracle of birth. This inspiration is why I became a Certified Labor Doula through Maternity Wise and am proud to serve women and families throughout South Western Pennsylvania. I first became interested in becoming a doula in 2017 when I became inspired by a supportive doula I hired for my second and third pregnancies. I was later encouraged to become a doula by a close friend, who then was the first mother I could serve as an educator and doula. ​ I have three little boys of my own, and have had a hospital OBGYN, midwife center, and homebirth experience. I know what it is like to give birth and navigate both within and outside the industrial birth complex. I have personal experience with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies and what it is like to be concerned about the unknowns on the other side of delivery. In addition, I have experienced the benefits and relief of having a doula present to guide me through the portal of birth into the role of motherhood. ​ Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, delivery, and parenting. It is good to have someone to remind them that they can persevere during this time of newness. I'm here to provide evidence-based education, and emotional, physical, and personalized support, along with advocacy for your rights. ​ Mothers and couples who work with me will find I highly value their maintained autonomy, including mother-led labor and delivery. I recognize birth as a non-medical event that occasionally needs medical attention. High-risk pregnancies need significantly more care than healthy pregnancies- but that high-risk model of care should not be used to care for all expectant mothers. In this vein, I acknowledge that women do not need to be empowered to give birth well or ecstatically. Instead, their autonomy, human rights, and dignity must be protected and remain intact. Under these aforementioned parameters, birth will naturally lead toward positive and non-traumatic perspectives of its' outcome. ​ Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, as a Christian, I am confident there is much truth to be ascertained in the metaphor of birth used throughout the Bible.

I’m a certified Doula, Yoga Instructor, and Lactation Consultant based in Pittsburgh, with experience supporting clients who speak Swahili, Spanish, Portuguese, Pashto, Russian, and Dari. I specialize in using natural comfort measures to help make labor faster, more comfortable, and empowering. I support all types of births—unmedicated, medicated, and C-sections—as well as pregnancy loss as a bereavement doula. As a mother of two, my journey began in 2015 after a traumatic birth experience and the loss of my son. That experience inspired my mission to redefine the birth experience and ensure every mother feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My role is to uplift you, honor your choices, and provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care every step of the way.

Peace, I’m Katlyn. An aspiring holistic herbalist, birth doula, mother of 5, and a lover of the Most High. From becoming a mother myself I have grown a love for mothers and the journey that motherhood brings not only after we give birth, but the transformation we begin to make as we grow our little ones. Everyone wants to nurture the baby understandably so, but who also nurtures the mother? I am here for you.

With a background in special education and a master’s degree in anthropology and education, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experiences to my work as a postpartum doula. I have a passion for helping people, cultivated through various roles including as a special education teacher, service coordinator for children with disabilities, and as a Behavior Specialist Consultant. These experiences, as well as being a mother myself, shape my approach, allowing me to provide non-judgmental support that respects each family’s unique circumstances. My empathetic nature, attentive listening, and calm warmth create a safe and caring space for all my clients. Beyond my commitment to postpartum care, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, traveling, cooking, reading, and creating.

Hello, I am Jeaonna a traditional homebirth midwife and doula. I come from a long line of birth keepers and decided to continue that legacy. I have been a doula for 20 years and a midwife since 2020.

Hello!

Blessings to you all. Hello, mamas, papas, and little ones. My name is Key. I'm a traditional birth attendant, medicine woman and forest farmer. My heart is devoted to offering true informed consent, heartfelt advocacy, and genuine, autonomous support. I honor all births while holding space without judgment. The birth you seek matters deeply to me. And if there’s something beyond my care, I’ll gladly guide you to someone who can help. When I’m not walking the path of birthwork, I find peace in simple, earthy rhythms—wandering outdoors, making healing remedies, cooking from scratch, and learning new things with my hands and heart. I have five children and we're always embracing the beautiful yet wild chaos of family life. I love to read, master sourdough, play football with my family, run barefoot and explore new flavors and experiences. Rooted, learning, and always growing.
