I'm Chelsea, a mom of 2, Full Spectrum Doula & childbirth educator, who feels my purpose is to help make your birth dreams come true! For as long as I can remember I wanted to be in the world of birthwork. My favorite show as a child was "A baby story", a show that followed pregnant people through their journey and birth experience, and by the time I was a teenager I knew I wanted to become a midwife. After getting accepted to college I was enrolled in the midwifery program for over a year and on the way to making my dreams come true. Then, when I was 19, I unexpectedly got pregnant and everything came to a temporary halt while I spent time focusing on raising my son as a single mother and working. The birth of my son was an incredibly traumatic experience unfortunately, but inspired within me a new spark and an even bigger drive to make a difference, so I could try to prevent negative outcomes for other birthing people. Fast forward around 9 years and the idea of becoming a doula came to me. I decided to take the leap, applied for a scholarship with Birthing Advocacy doula trainings, and was awarded a full scholarship for my essay on why I felt called to become a doula! The training affirmed everything I felt about my passion for this work... I finally felt aligned with my purpose and couldn't wait to get started! Recently, with my 2nd pregnancy and the birth of my daughter just this past September, I experienced something incredible...Now that I am a doula myself, I was able to see the beauty of knowledge, power and healing come full circle. I gave birth on my own terms, my body and my wishes were respected and held with care, and my soul was healed as my daughter was born and I was reborn. Experiencing pregnancy and birth through new perspective this time was cathartic, eye-opening and truly life changing for me. My combined holistic and practical approach to birth comes from both my training as a doula and my time training in midwifery, and ensures that my clients have the best experience possible tailored specifically to their needs and wants. I take pride in spending quality time with each client in prenatal visits, to hold space for their wishes, and to go over every detail of their vision, crafting a thorough birth plan together. My ultimate goal is to make sure you feel empowered, advocated for, supported, safe and nurtured. I will dedicate myself to you, and be the shoulder to lean on, the listening ear and the hand to hold, throughout our entire journey together ❤️

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!
