Emily Harvey

Hi, I’m Emily, a birth and postpartum doula and mother of four based in South Jersey, serving families throughout the Philadelphia area. Before becoming a doula, I spent ten years as a stay-at-home mother, homeschooling my children and learning firsthand how much it matters to have support you can lean on. I’m passionate about helping families feel cared for through the changes that come with welcoming a baby. I bring a calm presence, practical knowledge, and room for you to ask questions, express your preferences, and be yourself. I want you to feel comfortable with me in your home and confident that your choices will be respected. Outside of doula work, you’ll usually find me hiking, practicing yoga, exploring somewhere new with my children, or bringing people together over good food. Community is a meaningful part of my life, and that same warmth carries into how I care for families.

Emily is simply the BEST! She knew my birth plan well, and was able to support me through my long and difficult labor. She gave me the confidence I needed to speak to my healthcare provider clearly and firmly in order for me to receive the care I knew I deserved from my doctors while in a hospital setting. She advocated for me when I was too weak to do so. Emily provided many calming, soothing, and helpful props and techniques throughout my labor. She even took photographs of my husband and I with our daughter right after she was born! I’m so grateful she was with us throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. LOVED our experience with Emily!

I have been so lucky to hire Melissa twice as a doula now and I could not recommend her services enough. She is a wonderful advocate for mothers and truly listened to what I needed. She gave me the space to think about what my needs might be and I don’t think I would have known without her there to ask those questions. She helped prep our whole family in a way where I felt so well cared for. For both of the births Melissa was there for, as soon as she walked in I felt a huge sigh of relief. She was there and she had me and my back and I fully trusted her to guide me. We were also fortunate enough to hire her postpartum doulas! We had the pleasure of working with Veronica, Danielle and Bernadette. Everyone brought different outstanding qualities that were a total joy to experience. They went above and beyond to learn about our families needs and fit right in. I trusted all of them with my postpartum care, cooking meals, giving my husband a break and endless sibling entertainment for my bigger kids so I could snuggle in bed with our new baby. I felt so well supported my body was able to heal physically and I could emotionally take space when needed. There was always round the clock care and they were quick to fill our schedule when I quickly realized I needed more support than I had initially intended. I wish all mothers could experience this kind of care.

Aisha Smith

Aisha Smith Founder | Memorable Postpartum Hi, my name is Aisha Smith. I’m a mother of two, with a 19-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter. My personal postpartum journey, particularly after the birth of my daughter, deeply influenced my decision to enter this field, and I haven’t looked back since. Having experienced the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that can accompany postpartum recovery, I understand firsthand how transformative and, at times, overwhelming this season of motherhood can be. My personal experience, combined with my passion for supporting women, inspired me to create a career dedicated to helping mothers feel supported, nurtured, and empowered throughout their postpartum journeys. I received my postpartum doula certification and training through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor through Lactation Educators. Through Memorable Postpartum, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable, and personalized support to mothers navigating the transition into motherhood and the complexities of postpartum recovery. My goal is to create a space where women feel understood, confident, and equipped with the tools and resources they need to thrive both as mothers and as individuals. My services extend beyond traditional postpartum support. I offer comprehensive maternal and newborn care, including infant care, breastfeeding assistance, newborn education, and confidence building for new parents. I also provide nutrient-dense, thoughtfully prepared postpartum meals, nourishing teas and snacks, and practical household assistance to help mothers prioritize rest, recovery, and bonding with their babies. In addition, my services include postpartum massage and traditional postpartum belly binding, bringing restorative care and relaxation directly into the comfort of your home. My vision for Memorable Postpartum is to be a trusted, one-stop resource for mothers during one of life’s most significant transitions. From education and hands-on newborn care to nourishment, restorative services, and ongoing support, I strive to make every mother’s postpartum experience more comfortable, peaceful, and memorable. When I’m not working or spending time with my children, I enjoy a day outside. I’m a self-proclaimed foodie — good food makes me so happy! I love a good girls’ night and, honestly, I’m a great time. I believe that anything can be turned into a good time, and I live to get the most out of life. That same philosophy carries into my work. Just because you have a newborn doesn’t mean you can’t feel good, enjoy life, and make time for yourself. Every mother’s journey is different, and my goal is to help make that journey a little easier, more supported, and much more memorable. If you’re looking for knowledgeable postpartum support, nourishment, or simply someone you can trust during this special time, I’d love to connect with you. You can reach me at 215-990-8897 or via email at memorablepostpartum@gmail.com. I look forward to getting to know you and becoming part of your postpartum journey. Memorable Postpartum Because the mother deserves care, too.

Aisha has been helping us with overnight care for our 5-month old son since he was just a few weeks old. She is warm, dependable, and hilarious- which is so appreciated in the newborn trenches. Not only does she give the invaluable gift of sleep, but she brings a wealth of knowledge which has helped us through various transitions. She communicates proactively, so I always know exactly how my son did overnight/what we’re bringing into the day. 10/10 recommend. I don’t know what we would have done without her!

We are so grateful for Toni and cannot recommend her highly enough. She supported our family as a night doula for our son Wes from birth through eight weeks, and her impact was truly life-changing. Toni brought expertise, calm, and warmth into our home during a time that can feel overwhelming, helping us establish healthy sleep routines, understand cues, and build confidence as new parents. We trusted her completely, and she cared for Wes with such love and attentiveness. Beyond caring for our newborn, Toni helped us organize our lives, create structure, and make our days feel manageable and supported. Because of her guidance, our nights were peaceful, our days ran more smoothly, and we were able to enjoy the early weeks instead of just surviving them. She is exceptional at what she does, and our family will always be grateful for her.
