Bereavement Doulas in Philadelphia, PA

Hi, I’m Ali! A Philadelphia birth doula trained through Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. My own births were the first healthcare experiences where I felt deeply listened to, respected, and trusted in my body, and that experience is a big part of what drew me to this work. I want the families I support to feel that same sense of dignity, confidence, and care - whatever their birth looks like. I believe there is no single right way to give birth. My role is to offer calm, compassionate, evidence-informed support, help you understand your options and communicate what matters to you, and stay steady as things unfold. Before becoming a doula, I spent more than a decade in international humanitarian and development work, which taught me a lot about listening, building trust, and staying grounded in uncertain situations. I’m also a parent of two young children and love spending time with my family, being outside, and traveling!

Hello everyone! My name is Soleil Townes, I am the owner of Evangeline Birthing Services, which provides full-spectrum doula services to those in select counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I have a passion for helping queer families of color have beautiful birth experiences and receive the support they need whether that is grief support or adoption support. I fell in love with birth work during my years at Montclair State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Family Sciences and Human Development. While there, I took a class called “Medical Humanities” where I learned the different health disparities different ethnicities have faced in our health care system. What stood out to me was how Black birthing persons have such high birthing mortality rates. And upon further research, I stumbled upon the beauty and importance of birth work. I have always had a passion for helping queer families of color, and this shines through my work. I have over 5 years of childcare experience before becoming a doula. When I'm not working, I spend my free time expanding my hobbies: video games, reading, attending comic and anime conventions, community service, watching cartoons, and creating handmade jewelry.
