When I first met with my doula team, I felt an instant connection with Colleen. I felt so supported throughout my pregnancy and Colleen was always responsive, remembering my appointments and asking how they went. It always felt like she enjoyed chatting and keeping up, and she was also pregnant so we could relate! The morning I went into labor, Colleen was the doula on call, and she came around 6 am when my contractions were picking up. She set out some beautiful affirmations for me as I rocked on the ball, and she also suggested some snack ideas so I could get some food in. She remembered my birth plan and that I wanted to get to the hospital with a little bit more time than my last, and calmly used her expertise to notice cues that my labor was progressing and suggested that we head in. She supported me through contractions at the hospital with back pressure, affirmations, and encouragement. It was so helpful to just know someone else was there who knew my plan and desires and supported it all along the way so my husband could focus on my needs in the moment. When it was time for the baby to come, Colleen offered to take photos and let my mom step in and be right up front in the action. I’ll treasure the footage she got forever. I also appreciate that she supported after the birth for a few hours and helped refill my water, take photos, etc. Her follow up after was a bright spot in the postpartum period. Two years later I’ve moved away, and we still check in here and there and keep up with each other. I would absolutely recommend working with Colleen and the entire Northwest PA Doulas team.

I cannot say enough good things about Jaime and her company. Working with Jaime and her doulas (Michelle) was an absolute privilege. Jaime is kind, capable, thoughtful, reliable, and loving as is Michelle. They both fit right into our family seamlessly and managed our household better than my spouse or I can! My daughters (2.5 and 4.5) and all of us felt completely at ease and loved being with them. Jaime took us on last minute and then went above and beyond supporting all of us so that I could heal and sort out an exceptionally hard baby to nurse. She is very knowledgeable, offering both book and experience insight, and easy to get on with. I feel so incredibly lucky that we were able to work with her. She really cares about and loves what she does, and is very good at it!

Sheri was the most wonderful friend and guide during the first few months of motherhood. As a new mom, I felt so grateful every time she visited us. She is so caring and knowledgeable. Each visit she would help with my newborn and with household tasks, and I was able to rest. Now my baby is six months, and I know our family is happier and healthier because of her support. l highly recommend Sheri!

I never thought I’d have a need for a doula nor did I know much of what one did until my sister-in-law suggested it to me. I am forever grateful that she did and that I was able to have Krista as my doula. She made my birth experience so much better in every way possible. She answered my questions, kept me comfortable and advocated for me to my medical team. Not only that but she was able to help ease my husband and guide him as this was our first time becoming parents! There was so much I didn’t realize I didn’t know until actually giving birth. Krista is so down to earth and I didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable with her the entire time. She will support you in every aspect and won’t judge any decisions you make about your pregnancy and birth - because this experience should be just that, exactly what you and your body want and need. I would recommend Krista to any and everybody, love her so much!

We had an amazing experience with Laura! She was our postpartum Doula with our firstborn son Jonah. She helped not only to prioritize our needs with us, but provided so much valuable information.

Edoukou was a fantastic prenatal doula. She was backup for my birth doula, who had a planned vacation right before my due date. While she didn't end up needing to be there at the birth (baby came on the due date!), Edoukou attended two prenatal meetings. She was particularly helpful with my birth preferences document--she helped me edit it down and gave me (hugely helpful) tips about how to talk with my providers in advance of the birth. She also helped me plan out my post-partum month, which is a specialty of hers. Definitely recommend!

I am delighted to recommend Grace Kovitch as a postpartum doula. Her sweet nature, care and compassion, and knowledge of newborns made her truly invaluable to our family throughout our daughter’s first four months. Her presence allowed our family to rest, recover, and truly enjoy the precious moments with our newborn. From the moment she stepped into our home, Grace provided a calming presence and a great knowledge about newborn care. She not only assisted with practical needs—such as soothing techniques, infant care, and light household tasks—but also provided the emotional support and reassurance that every new parent needs. Her warm and nurturing nature made all the difference during such a transformative time. (We knew she was the perfect fit for our family when our doberman wouldn’t leave her side! He now waits for her every night!) Additionally, her punctuality and reliability show the level of care she possesses for her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Grace to any family in need of postpartum support. She is an incredible resource, and any family would be beyond lucky to have her by their side during the postpartum journey.

I had the opportunity to witness Lauren provide postpartum care for a new mom and her baby, and I was so impressed by the level of support and compassion she offered. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive — always making sure both mom and baby were comfortable, cared for, and reassured during such a tender time. Her calming presence and thoughtful care really made a difference in the recovery process and helped create a peaceful, nurturing environment. It's clear that Lauren is passionate about what she does, and she brings a sense of warmth and professionalism that truly stands out. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for loving, reliable postpartum support!

Five stars is not enough for Maria and her team. Having doula be part of my team for the birth of my third child was an absolute game changer. I was determined to VBA2C and it happened! Maria and Kimberly were a huge part of making that happen. Maria was my primary doula and her support and knowledge throughout my pregnancy and birth was amazing and incredibly helpful. It makes a huge difference to have a medical team that is supportive of your goals and to have multiple people on your team outside of the hospital. And I don't think I would have been able VBAC if it wasn't for Maria

Ashley is Amazing , compassionate, understanding , flexible, patient and loving. I love and value that she advocates for my wants and needs. Her being a mommy and woman herself shines through how well she really relates to what are all the motions and vulnerability we experience during birth that i never really even knew to pay attention to until I met with Ashley. Alongside her compassion she doesnt ignore core values of your beliefs and expectations as planet fitness would say she gives that judge free zone, or we listen and we don't judge. Im Thankful and grateful to have crossed paths with the heaven sent angel she is, forseeking and wanting to experience a doula since learning about them im glad she was matched with me to give me an unforgettable experience for what is my first pregnancy with Twins but also my final pregnancy/labor & Birth experience. We Love and Thank You So much Ashley The Best Doula Anyone can ask for 💛
