I am a dedicated Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care helper committed to the philosophy that when a baby is born, a mother is also born. My mission is to bridge the gap between "just getting by" and truly flourishing in your new role. I provide holistic support that balances expert infant care with nurturing care for the mother, ensuring a smooth transition for the entire family. ​Expert Newborn & Sleep Support ​I specialize in providing 24/7 and overnight care, offering parents peace of mind and much-needed rest. My approach is rooted in safety and development, including: • ​Sleep Expertise: Pediatric sleep training, newborn routine shaping, and establishing healthy habits following AAP Sleep Guidelines. • ​Soothing & Routine: Mastery of swaddling and soothing methods, alongside creating predictable daytime infant schedules. • ​Developmental Play: Engaging your little one with tummy time and age-appropriate infant developmental activities. ​Feeding & Specialized Care ​Navigating feeding challenges can be overwhelming. I offer hands-on guidance for: • ​Feeding Support: Assistance with breastfeeding, bottle preparation, and proper breast milk storage. • ​Specialized Needs: Expert management of colic, reflux, and complex feeding issues to ensure your baby is comfortable and thriving. ​Nurturing the Mother ​My support extends beyond the nursery. I believe a well-cared-for mother is the heart of a happy home. To support your recovery and bonding, I provide: • ​Meal Preparation: Nutritious, recovery-focused meals to fuel your body. • ​Maternal Transition: Emotional and physical support as you navigate the shift into motherhood. • ​Practical Help: Managing the "other things"—from light household tasks to nursery organization—so you can focus entirely on your new baby.

I specialize in postpartum care, family wellness, and building back the “village” that every new parent deserves.

My role is to nurture you as you recover, help you feel confident in your new season, and create a calm, supportive space for your whole family. Whether that looks like hands-on support (meals, light household care, body scrubs, relaxation, newborn care) or emotional support (listening ear, encouragement, and guidance), I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to do this alone. I’d love to connect and see how I can walk alongside your family during this special time. 💙

Hi I am MaryNissi Lemon, Founder of LemonLife Birthing Services is a Birth Coach and Childbirth Educator. I have been supporting families on their birthing journey for over 5 years.

Welcome! I’m Jessica, owner of The Happy Mama Place. For more than a decade, I’ve supported families through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood throughout Northeast and Central Pennsylvania. I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula, Certified HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator, Licensed Massage Therapist, Body Ready Method Pro, Certified High-Risk Doula, and trained in supporting families experiencing pregnancy after infant loss. My work brings together birth support, childbirth education, bodywork, movement, and nervous system awareness to help families prepare for birth both physically and mentally. I believe birth preparation is about more than memorizing positions or techniques. Every body is different, every baby moves through the pelvis differently, and every birth unfolds differently. My goal is to help you better understand your body, reduce fear, build confidence, and develop tools you can actually use during labor. My services include birth doula support, HypnoBirthing childbirth education, prenatal and induction massage and bodywork, labor support, and placenta encapsulation. The Happy Mama Place also has a team of doulas available for families seeking postpartum doula support. I support families throughout Northeast and Central Pennsylvania, including the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, the Poconos, Bloomsburg and Danville, the Lehigh Valley, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, hoping for a different experience after a previous birth, or simply looking for more individualized preparation and support, I’d love to learn about you and what you envision for your birth. Send me a message and tell me a little about where you are in your pregnancy and what kind of support you’re looking for. I’d love to connect.

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!
