I have witnessed firsthand the extraordinary compassion, dedication, and warmth she brings to every aspect of her life. I wholeheartedly believe she will be exceptional in this role. Makeda’s work ethic is something I have always deeply admired. When she commits to something, she gives it her entire heart. She approaches this work not as a casual interest but as a true calling. She studies diligently and constantly seeks to deepen her understanding of maternal and newborn health. Her professionalism is evident in how seriously she takes her preparation and how she holds herself accountable to the highest standards in everything she does. One of Makeda’s greatest gifts is her ability to communicate with both warmth and clarity. She has a natural way of making people feel heard and understood. Whether she is offering guidance to a new parent, sharing information, or simply listening, she creates a space of trust and safety. I have watched her interact with expectant and new mothers, and her presence is immediately calming. She has an intuitive ability to read a room, to know when someone needs encouragement and when they simply need a steady, reassuring hand. This is a rare and invaluable quality for someone entrusted with the care of newborns and their families. At her core, Makeda is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever known. Originally from Trinidad, she carries with her a deep cultural appreciation for community, family, and the sacred experience of welcoming new life into the world. Her background working with children has given her a profound understanding of families' needs and the importance of nurturing support during life’s most tender moments. She has a remarkable gift for connecting with little ones, offering patience, gentleness, and a love that is felt deeply by every child she cares for. Watching her with the children in our family has only strengthened my confidence that she is meant for this work. Makeda’s passion has also inspired me to advocate. She is deeply committed to ensuring that every mother and newborn receives informed, compassionate, and empowering care. She understands the disparities in maternal and infant healthcare and is driven by a genuine desire to make a difference - one family at a time. She is the kind of person who will stand beside a family not only during those precious early days but throughout the entire journey, with grace, knowledge, and an unshakable calm. She has the heart, the mind, and the spirit to be a truly outstanding Postpartum doula and Newborn Care Specialist. Any family that has her by their side will be profoundly fortunate.

Ari Eisen

Hi everyone I’m Ari! (she/they) I'm a Trained Full Spectrum Doula located in Philadelphia, PA. I’m dedicated to providing trauma-informed, client-centered, and affirming care for all. My background in art and passion for research motivate me to offer imaginative, evidence-based birth education and holistic support. To read testimonials from parents who have trusted me to be a part of their experience, follow this link: https://doulamatch.net/profile/34407/ari-eisen. As a birth doula, my focus is on prenatal education that centers physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors impacting your pregnancy and parenthood journey. I'm here to support your unique vision for your birth experience and serve as your advocate in times of need. I understand that the bodymind is vulnerable and reactive to regimes of oppression. My goal is to uplift the innate beauty and strength of all bodies, with a focus on supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC parents in navigating barriers to just medical care (though I work with parents of all identities). I am sensitive to the institutions and practices that contribute to poor maternal and birth outcomes and I maintain that anti-racism is essential to holistic carework. For years, I've engaged in embodiment practices such as yoga, meditation, and acupuncture to deepen my connection with bodymind intelligence and navigate my own chronic pain journey gracefully. Throughout my various doula trainings, I've upheld my values, which I'm eager to share with you. It would be an honor to be your guide and provide you with compassionate, radically inclusive support.

Ari is a wonderful doula. My husband and I worked with Ari during pregnancy and delivery (at the hospital). Ari was consistently a fantastic partner and coach to both of us. We felt understood, cared for, and supported. From listening to our goals, offering resources, and even providing a reassuring massage, Ari was a source of relief. We also appreciated that she was very knowledgeable but at no point told us what to do or passed judgments on our intentions for pregnancy and delivery. Ari is both calming and confident – the perfect energy to help me deliver our child. I strongly recommend them to any birthing parent or partner!

Hello! My name is Jennifer, and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula dedicated to supporting you throughout your birth and postpartum journey. As a passionate advocate for women's health, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. In addition to my doula work, I am a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist specializing in women's health, and I enjoy integrating holistic knowledge to complement Western medicine. My approach weaves together mindfulness and whole-body wellness techniques to create a nurturing environment for every family. With experience attending numerous births in both hospital and home settings, I have supported many birthing people and families as they transition into their new roles in their pregnancy journey. I would love to connect with you to learn about your goals for your birth and postpartum experience, and to discuss how I can best support you.

When searching for a Doula, I really couldn't have been more lucky to have found Jennifer. I have been blessed to have Jennifer by my side for both of my children's births and couldn't imagine doing it again with anyone else. Jennifer supported my birth plan for both births and diligently worked by my side and for me to help get what I wanted. When things were getting difficult Jennifer was always a calm voice to guide me. Each birth my plan was to go unmedicated. Jennifer was skilled and proficient in acupressure. She even took the time to teach my husband. I utilized her aromatherapy skills and was so happy with the amount of time she put into learning what oils I liked, but also what oils would work best for my needs. Having the opportunity to work with Jennifer made my birth experience the best that it could be, both times. If you're a new mom looking for extra support, or an experienced mom looking for a different birth plan that is more centered around you, I urge you to talk with Jennifer. She truly has a gift for what she is doing. My family is so grateful for this lady!

Eilís Crossen

Responds within an hour

Dia duit, hello! I am Eilís and I am a certified doula and full spectrum birth worker in Philadelphia PA. I have long been drawn to pregnancy and birth, and after the birth of my first baby at 16, I first trained to be a doula in 2005. I apprenticed and assisted with midwives for many years, and am also a trauma-informed social worker, herbalist, yoga teacher, and energy and body worker. I weave my experiences and skill sets together, providing intuitive and tailored physical, informational, educational, mental, emotional, and spiritual supports. I see the role of a doula or monitrice as a steward- someone to tend to and watch over the person, couple, family during labor, birth, and postpartum and providing care and remedies as is fit and called for. Every birth, body, baby is unique and I see it as my role to meet everyone where they're at. Some people need every bell and whistle, some people need their back squeezed for 12 hours, some people need a quiet, confident witness to be present, but hands off. I am here for all of that and everything in between. Outside of birth work, I am a mother to seven and I love to garden, cook, learn Irish, swim in all bodies of water, and overall, just have a good time of it.

Eilís was my birth doula for my first child and I couldn't recommend her more! My husband and I felt comfortable immediately the first time we met with her and she met with us several times pre-natal to talk through what I wanted in my birth experience. She was on-call the weeks around my due date and I felt comfortable texting her when I wasn't sure if my contractions had started. Having her with me during labor was so helpful! She offered counter-pressure, suggested positions, helped me navigate decision-making, and talked me through contractions. It was so helpful to have someone on my team with calm confidence. After my baby was born, Eilís met with me several times, she brought me teas, she talked through my birth experience and offered advice on early parenthood. Truly, I would not want to do this again without her!

Tammy Swetter

Hi there, my name is Tammy Swetter and I am a Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified Pediatric Sleep Coach, CPST & a nurse. My approach is rooted in genuine care & support. I believe that every family deserves to feel supported, nurtured, and confident during their postpartum experience. My goal is to provide realistic, hands-on help that meets the unique needs of each family, whether that’s guiding you through infant care, creating space for you to take a long, rejuvenating shower or get some much needed restorative sleep, or simply listening to your concerns without judgment. With my background, I understand the emotional & physical shifts that come with bringing a new baby home, and I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable expressing your needs and receiving the support you deserve. My philosophy centers around empowering parents to trust their instincts while equipping them with practical tools and resources. I see myself not just as an extra set of hands, but as a steady source of reassurance & encouragement as you navigate these early weeks. From personalized guidance to help you feel more confident in your new role, to creating moments of rest & recovery, I’m here to support your entire family in adjusting & thriving…not just surviving. You deserve a better postpartum experience!

Tammy is the best member you could ever add to your postpartum team. She’s worth every single penny. We first met online, due to her strong supportive presence on local Facebook community groups. She’s a connector and positive networker. I was new to the area in my 3rd trimester and she made a huge impression on me. I requested a free consultation over the phone due to a wonderful job presenting itself at 4 weeks postpartum. I wanted to see what she thought. She’s a veteran mother herself for over a decade now and her experience and advice helped me not worry should I choose to take the job. We then discussed her coming on as a team member… while I was away for said job! Her sensitive and confident approach of helping my newborn daughter, my toddler daughter, my husband, and my sister (who came in to help), made myself feel more confident to leave for the dream job. Even weeks leading up to baby girl’s arrival, we strategized breastmilk calculations and anticipated all outcomes of birth with positive affirmations. And when the time came for me to go away for 8 days, I never worried for a second. My newborn and my entire family were in wonderful hands. I even came home to a neater, cleaner home! Hire Tammy. She’s now a forever friend, too.

Recent review

When I first was pregnant, I had a lot of fear surrounding the pregnancy. Fear that I would miscarry and fear of what was to come. Abby immediately provided comfort and support, and validated my feelings. She was with me every step of the way through my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Even though she couldn't physically be with me much of that time, the encouragement, prayers, and support she provided me went such a long way. I'm so grateful for her, and look forward to the future support she will provide as our family continues to grow.

Charlene Walker

I am a full-spectrum doula offering compassionate support through every stage of the journey — from birth and postpartum to grief and placenta care. My heart is in holding space for all experiences, whether it’s welcoming new life, processing loss, or finding healing in the postpartum period. I believe in the power of connection — not just between parent and baby, but also between people and cultures. I love helping others explore and embrace different traditions, ways of healing, and perspectives from around the world. Through this work, I aim to nurture, uplift, and walk alongside every person I serve with empathy, respect, and deep care.

Recent review

Having a doula is truly worth it, and my experience with Charlene Walker was amazing. We first connected online during the pandemic, and even though she was new to being a doula, her passion for children and helping others really stood out. Charlene later visited me and my kids in Baltimore, attended my doctor’s appointments virtually, and supported me through my planned C-section. She made sure my children were cared for and that I had everything I needed for delivery. She wasn’t just my doula — she felt like family. Charlene kept me calm and reassured throughout my birth experience. During a later doctor’s visit for my son, a nurse mentioned how much she remembered Charlene from the delivery and praised how well she handled things when my baby briefly wasn’t breathing. When I called Charlene about it, she shared that her focus had been making sure I was okay and that she had been in constant contact with the nurses. That meant so much to me. Even now, we stay in touch, and I can always reach out to her for advice or support. Charlene is compassionate, professional, and truly dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable doula!

My name is Victoria McQuiston, and I am deeply honored to serve as a certified postpartum doula and infant care specialist. Based in West Chester, PA, I am privileged to support families across the greater Philadelphia area during one of the most transformative seasons of life. With both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Communication Studies, I am profoundly aware of the power of connection and the vital role that community plays in nurturing women and families during the postpartum journey. My mission is to create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space for all parents seeking guidance, reassurance, and emotional support as they navigate this precious and sometimes challenging time. Beyond my professional calling, I find joy in life’s simplest and sweetest moments—exploring the outdoors with my two young sons, savoring a beloved book at a cozy local café, and sharing laughter and creativity in the kitchen with my husband. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you in this beautiful chapter, offering both encouragement and care as you embrace the incredible journey of parenthood.

Recent review

Working with Victoria was the best decision we made as new parents! We initially hired her for six weeks, but she was so amazing that we extended her contract for four more months. We honestly don’t know how we would’ve gotten through that time without her. Victoria is not only super professional but also so warm and personable. From day one, she felt like part of the family. She always listened to what we needed, respected our parenting choices, and gave helpful advice without ever being pushy. It was clear how much she cared, and her calm, supportive presence made such a difference during those hectic first months. And let me just say, I don't think we could have done it without her! Our little one adored her, and she had this magical way of soothing even the crankiest moments. Her overnight care was a game changer for us—we finally got some much-needed sleep, knowing our baby was in the best hands. If you’re thinking about hiring a postpartum doula, don’t even hesitate. Victoria is incredible, and we feel so lucky to have had her with us during such an important time. She made everything so much easier and more enjoyable!
