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!

Kellie Lynch Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Pennsylvania, last 60 days

Responds within a day

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 ❤️

"Working with Kellie has been life-changing. She holds space with such warmth, wisdom, and care. I felt deeply seen and supported as I learned how to reconnect with myself in ways I never imagined. Her ability to guide with both deep knowledge and gentle presence is something truly special. With the tools she gently gave me, I feel confident in taking this next step on my journey ."

Robin was such a wonderful addition to our home the first few weeks after welcoming #2. She is so loving and from the moment she stepped in and held our little one, I felt at ease. She cared for the baby, made sure I was physically and emotionally well, and when morning came things were set for our day to start easier. My husband was on the fence about overnight help and as with many families, it ended up being such a good fit for us that we extended the weeks she was with us. Happy to give one on one reference information if needed!

Hi, I’m Tina, a full-spectrum state certified doula based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have three years of experience supporting families and have had the honor of attending over 20 births. With a background in healthcare, I bring both experience and a deeply compassionate, nurturing approach to the families I serve. I’m a proud mother of five, grandmother of five, and the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and empowering families in my community.

Every person deserves to feel safe, heard, respected, and supported as they navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the many transitions that come with growing a family. I believe in informed consent, body autonomy, advocacy, and honoring each person’s unique choices without judgment.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about my doula, Tina Alisha. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, safe, and cared for. Her presence throughout my journey was truly a blessing, and I’m so grateful that I had her by my side. Tina went above and beyond to make sure I felt confident, informed, and prepared. She listened to my concerns without judgment, encouraged me when I needed it most, and reminded me of my strength when I needed that extra reassurance. Her compassion, patience, knowledge, and genuine love for what she does truly shine through. What stood out to me the most was how Tina made me feel like more than just a client. She genuinely cared about me, my experience, and my baby. She created a sense of comfort and peace during moments that could have easily felt overwhelming. Having Tina as my doula made such a beautiful difference in my experience. I will forever be grateful for the encouragement, support, kindness, and memories she gave me during such an important chapter of my life. She was my voice when I was medically out of it and my babies protector. Solar & I will forever be grateful We Love You Nature Momz 💗❤️

Laporcha Mathis

Hello, I’m Laporcha And Birth work was called to me after my mother passed away. In that moment, I realized she would no longer be there to comfort me, advocate for me, or welcome another child into this world by my side. She would never have the opportunity to be my doula. So, I became one. I became a birth doula for those who need to be seen and heard. For those who have lost their support systems. For those who fear they won't have the beautiful birth experience they dream of. For those whose voices have been silenced but whose hearts have so much to say. For those whose trauma feels louder than their strength. For those who struggle to advocate for themselves. And for the first-time mother who is terrified of walking into motherhood alone. I bring all of me into this work—my own birth experiences, my fears, my healing, my trauma, my gifts, my compassion, and my knowledge. Those pieces have shaped the doula I am today. My mother was the roots of our family. She was our safe place, our strength, and the one who nurtured everyone around her. Though she is no longer here physically, her love continues to grow through me. That is why I chose the name Mello Roots. I will water her legacy through every birth I attend. I will stand beside mothers the way she would have stood beside me. Every mother I support and every baby I welcome becomes another branch on a tree that continues to grow from love, resilience, and community. My hope is that every family I serve leaves knowing they never had to walk this journey alone. Together, we create a village—one birth, one mother, one baby at a time. – Mello Roots LLC Laporcha M.

I was assigned, and worked with another doula throughout my pregnaney and was advised that she might not be the one on call when the baby came. It made me a little nervous when I went into labor on a day i knew my doula was not on call, I was worried about going through labor and birth with someone l've never met before However Laporcha was such a calm presence. And was so wiling to assist and comfort. She was very kind, attentive and easy to talk to, I really appreciated her presence, I would highly recommend Laporcha!

Lorrae Bradbury

Trauma-Informed Birth & Postpartum Doula + Mind-Body Birth Support Specialist - serving sensitive souls, trauma survivors & diverse families with holistic, inclusive care. Virtual support worldwide | In-person in Philadelphia, Florida & travel throughout US I believe in care that meets you exactly where you are - honoring both the profound transformation and messy reality of reproductive experiences. As a Somatic Experiencing (SE) student with a psychology background, I offer trauma-informed doula care that integrates nervous system regulation and mind-body birth support. I go beyond logistics to support the emotional complexity, relationship dynamics, and identity shifts that accompany life-changing transitions. After navigating my own pregnancy experiences with minimal support and feeling dismissed by medical systems that couldn't hold the complexity of mind/body connection, I became passionate about offering the embodied, compassionate support I needed, but couldn't find. My approach centers on the emotional and relational complexities of becoming parents - drawing from over a decade of somatic-based, trauma-informed intimacy and relationship coaching to focus on the psychological and somatic shifts that come with growing a family. I specialize in supporting empaths, sensitive souls, cycle-breakers, LGBTQIA+ and non-traditional families, and those seeking heart-centered, evidence-based, identity-affirming care that honors their full humanity. Whether you're seeking birth doula support, postpartum care, pregnancy loss support, or prenatal preparation, I provide grounding support through nervous system regulation, practical advocacy, body-based somatic tools, and steady, non-judgmental presence that helps you stay connected to your identity and agency while navigating medical systems and profound personal transformation.

Recent review

From the moment we connected, Lorrae created a space where I felt genuinely seen, affirmed, and supported in ways that are unfortunately rare in healthcare settings. During my pregnancy, she consistently prioritized my needs, choices, and comfort over any agenda, and did not push me toward any particular protocol or outcome. Lorrae is exactly the kind of practitioner our community needs. She combines professional skill with authentic compassion, and her nervous system regulation tools became invaluable during both labor and postpartum. She has a gift for creating calm in moments of intensity. Beyond her clinical skills, Lorrae embodies genuine care and integrity and I cannot recommend her highly enough to other parents seeking support.
