Hi I’m Keely and I’m a birth doula serving South Jersey & the Greater Philly area. I only take one client per month to really make sure you have someone you can lean on for anything. I believe every woman should have a doula and that support on this level can change a potentially nerve wracking experience into something empowering and beautiful.

When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, we knew that we would want a doula to help in every way possible throughout the pregnancy and birth. We had holistic birth plans and wanted a person who believed in the same ideas. It took many interviews to find the right person for us, Keely. She listened to us, she explained every detail about the birthing process to us, she was there for us and especially me in every step of the way. Then it came time for the birth, which was unexpected due to complications on my part with preeclampsia. Due to this diagnosis, I could not have the birth plan that I chose and had to give birth in the hospital. Keely made sure that I still had almost everything that I wanted in my holistic birth plan even though things were very different. The little things she did was massaged my legs with oils due to the swelling and fed me so that I could be strong when it was time to push. Besides these little things, Keely helped me through the medications I was put on, the pitocin, and each and every contraction. The counter pressure and the “hmm-ing” sounds helped me get through active labor and contractions with a breeze. When it was time to push, she helped assist with holding my leg and making sure I was pushing when I needed to with vocal cues and breathing techniques. When my baby was born all I could think was that I could not have done this without her, during pregnancy, during labor, and now after she is a huge part of my life. Not only was my birth a little traumatic - Keely made it known that I am this super human, bad ass, queen and she will forever be a part of my and my families circle.

Five Stars Isn't Enough for Ms. Riley There are some people who come into your life during your darkest moments and leave a permanent impact. For me, that person was Ms. Riley. I hired Ms. Riley as my NICU Doula while pregnant with my twins, and from the very beginning she was by my side. She was there for my birth, she supported me throughout the entire three months that my twins were in the NICU, and after they were discharged, she continued caring for my babies as our NICU Newborn Care Specialist for an additional three months. In total, Ms. Riley walked alongside my family for six incredibly important months of our journey. What makes her support even more meaningful is the fact that I had no family support system. During my pregnancy, my husband decided to divorce me when I was only four months pregnant with twins. I was facing one of the most difficult seasons of my life, feeling scared, overwhelmed, and alone. Through it all, Ms. Riley was a constant source of support, encouragement, and compassion. Ms. Riley has a way of making every mother feel seen, heard, and cared for. She affectionately calls us her "baby mothers," and I have to admit, that always made me laugh during a time when I desperately needed something to smile about. It may seem like a small thing, but her ability to bring comfort, humor, and warmth into difficult situations is truly a gift. She consistently went above and beyond for me and my twins. Whether it was providing guidance, emotional support, newborn care expertise, or simply being present when I needed someone most, she showed up every single time. I never felt judged, rushed, or alone. Instead, I felt supported, empowered, and capable as a first-time mother navigating an unexpected and challenging journey. Ms. Riley, it is so clear that this is your calling. The love, dedication, patience, and commitment you bring to your families cannot be taught. You have a rare gift, and I truly believe doors will continue to open for you because of the impact you have on the lives of mothers and babies. We need more people like you, not only in newborn care but throughout the healthcare industry as a whole. I will absolutely be booking Ms. Riley's services again when I'm ready to return to work, even though I work remotely, because the peace of mind she provides is priceless. I am giving Ms. Riley five stars, but honestly, stars don't come close to describing how she made me feel. If you truly understand what a halo represents, then that's what she deserves: unlimited halos. Thank you, Ms. Riley, for helping me survive and thrive during one of the hardest and most beautiful chapters of my life. I will be forever grateful.

Elizabeth Varaso

Elizabeth Varaso is a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, a DONA Certified Birth Doula and the mother of four very ornery children ages three to twelve. She originally came to Philadelphia 21 years ago to complete her MSEd in Psychological Services from the University of Pennsylvania and to serve at-risk children and families in the Kensington community. Following a decade in community outreach work, Elizabeth discovered an unexpected calling as a birth professional after being profoundly impacted by the birth of her own children. In particular, the experience of adding a doula to her team of caregivers gave her a vision of how satisfying a well-supported birth could be. ​ As a doula, Elizabeth has served over 80 birthing families which has given her experience and insight of the inner-workings of most of the city's major hospitals. Her first three children were born at The Birth Center in Bryn Mawr and her fourth at Pennsylvania Hospital, so she has a special fondness for helping families prepare to welcome their babies there. In her 8 years as a childbirth educator, Elizabeth has taught hundreds of expectant couples in group, private, virtual and hybrid formats. She is certain that she has the VERY best job in the world. It's Elizabeth's desire to provide empowering, evidence-based childbirth education and strong, gentle & loving doula support to other birthing people and their partners with the hope that they will not just cope, but thrive through their childbirth experience. Elizabeth is pleased to serve people from a variety of backgrounds and seeks to honor the sacredness of each pregnancy journey and birth by respecting the needs, goals and values of each individual birthing person. She hopes that her calm and confident demeanor, her enthusiasm and optimistic outlook will help make the adventure of preparing for childbirth an enjoyable one!

Larissa Melo Pienkowski

I’m Larissa (she/ela/ella), a birth and postpartum doula based in Philadelphia, PA. My practice is rooted in the beliefs that birth is a sacred act of transformation, that birthing people hold innate wisdom in their bodies, and that we all deserve safe, affirming, size-inclusive reproductive healthcare. As a birthworker, I offer a compassionate and comforting presence, intuitive and evidence-based information, physical support, fierce advocacy, and space for birthing people of all identities to move through pregnancy and labor peacefully and confidently. I myself identify as queer and Latina. Eu falo português e adoraria trabalhar com famílias brasileiras. 🇧🇷 In my free time, I love to cook, read, journal, play volleyball, practice Pilates, and make pottery, and I’m passionate about weaving mindfulness, movement, and nourishment into birthwork in ways that uplift radiant, full-body joy. I’m lucky to live with my wife and our Siberian husky, Olaf, in Germantown, Philadelphia.

Have you ever experienced the joy of working with someone who is so clearly doing what they were meant to do? Such is the radiant experience of working with Larissa as a doula. From our first conversation, I connected with her unique combination if confidence, optimism, and groundedness. She always listened with true intention, never trying to push me any which way but instead helping me figure out my own needs and wants for my pregnancy and delivery. She helped fill in gaps in my knowledge and, most importantly, guided me through tough decisions and helped me feel confident in those decisions. She was equally supportive of my partner and their experience. During labor, delivery, and birth, Larissa was my steadfast advocate, and I delivered a healthy baby. Thank you Larissa!
