Hello! My name is Nicole. I’m a Birth Doula and I also offer overnight postpartum and newborn care to new and expectant families throughout South Jersey, Philly, and surrounding areas. I believe it is a gift to be able to make a difference in the way a family feels supported and cared for throughout their journey. It’s the reason I became a Doula. I personally know what it feels like to be supported vs not. I feel extremely fortunate and honored to have been trusted and invited into many birth spaces over the years. It is a mission that I continue to take very seriously. I specialize in helping people have redemptive births after previous birth trauma, VBAC, advocacy, and physiologic birth. I aim to help people find their voice and birth from a place of power, strength and confidence!

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. 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.

Hi my name is Nikkita and I am a labor doula and placenta encapsulation specialist based in DE. I've always had a love and awe for the miracle of conception, labor, and childbirth even before having kids of my own. Reflecting on my three different birthing experiences catapulted my desire to support and empower expecting mothers before during and after their labor. I love adding a little bit of laughter and a lot of love to every labor and delivery room I enter. I attributes the life I've been blessed to live as a wife and mother and the calling to be a doula to my Christian faith and the peace that comes with it. My personal goal is to support every momma I have the pleasure of serving with my whole heart, so that the momma can have a birthing experience that makes her proud!

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 ❤️
