Wow, where to even start!! We worked with Lisa as our doula to support us through our first pregnancy & birth of our son. I knew as soon as I got pregnant that I wanted to hire a doula, and after our chat with Lisa, we knew immediately that she was the one. Her depth of knowledge and passion for her career was apparent as soon as we started talking to her. Not only that, but she is incredibly kind and caring - I immediately felt safe and supported by her. Throughout my pregnancy I asked her lots of random questions and she never batted an eye & always provided clear answers and resources. She even said to me “don’t google anything, I’m your Google” and I REALLY appreciated that because I had a tendency to google everything and freak myself out!! But where Lisa really blew us away was during my labor & delivery. I had a hard and long labor that ended in a c section, and I am SO grateful Lisa was there to support my husband and I throughout the process. She helped me get into comfortable positions after my epidural, gave me an incredible massage to help me relax, and kept me & my husband informed about what was going on throughout labor. When I found out I needed to have a c section, she asked my providers all the right questions and comforted me before / during my procedure. She took photos of my husband and I meeting our baby for the first time, and held our baby up to my face for skin to skin when my husband needed to leave the room to move our things to recovery. Having her there to support us through the twists and turns of labor and delivery was TRULY a game changer, especially when things got stressful. She kept us both grounded and calm when we needed it most. I could keep going on and on about how amazing Lisa is, but I’ll finish by saying: hire her !!! she was worth every penny - truly the best investment we made, and I’ll remember her kindness and support forever. If we have another kid, she’ll be one of our first calls. We love Lisa!!! 💗💗💗

My journey to postpartum work was long and winding like postpartum itself. When I was pregnant with my daughter I knew due to location that my postpartum village would be slim. I took it largely upon myself to do what I could to prepare for that season with intention. I made meals, I organized visitors, we worked around my husband’s time off. It was the best we could do, and it was so special. A few weeks into my own postpartum, I was in the kitchen reheating a nutrient dense dinner when it hit me... “every mom deserves this.” With a baby sleeping on my chest and the timer going off, I had no direction forward, but from that moment the calling was placed on my heart. I pursued my postpartum training through Uncovering Birth in the fall of 2025 and I'm honored to be a vessel for this scared space to moms who are ready to rewrite the story.

Randalyn was a huge help after I gave birth to my son. As this was my first birth, I physically and mentally did not know what I was in for during the postpartum period on top of taking care of a newborn. Not only did Randalyn cater to my recovery needs but she lifted weight off my shoulders with prepared meals, snacks that supported my breastfeeding journey along with pumping education. Randalyn offered me calming support and judgement free guidance that boosted my confidence as a first time mom. Because of Randalyn I could rest, heal and actually enjoy the newborn phase. I can’t recommend her enough!

Hi, I'm Ranelle but you can call me Rae. I am the momma of three little loves, and the wife to a husband who is so loving, supportive and equally compassionate about women's rights and birth work as I am.   I love life and the human body has always amazed me, so much that biology was my major at the University of Akron. If I’m not researching something birth related, listening to birth related podcasts, watching birthing videos, or using my voice to bring awareness to the blaring maternal mortality and health rates and disparities, I’m chasing  my three babies, or at a sporting event with my hubs!   My my drive comes from my calling, my passion comes from my own experience. While always desiring to be a birth worker from a tiny tot, as an adult, I experienced two devastating losses, and two very traumatic births. Seeing how broken the system is and how intense I had to advocate for basic care was so deeply disappointing and beyond scary, especially as a black woman. I have made it my life's mission to leave an imprint in birth work that defines positive changes in birth outcomes.

Rae was incredible. She made sure my wife always felt supported and never forgot to check in on me too, which meant a lot. Even after the delivery, she stayed present and continued to be there for us. We were so impressed that we’ve already secured her for baby number two!

As a Certified Labor Doula working in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area since 2020, I offer personalized birthing, lactation, and postpartum support as well as childbirth & postpartum education. My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about pregnancy, delivery, feeding, and parenting. ​ I am inspired by women's strength and the miracle of birth. This inspiration is why I became a Certified Labor Doula through Maternity Wise and am proud to serve women and families throughout South Western Pennsylvania. I first became interested in becoming a doula in 2017 when I became inspired by a supportive doula I hired for my second and third pregnancies. I was later encouraged to become a doula by a close friend, who then was the first mother I could serve as an educator and doula. ​ I have three little boys of my own, and have had a hospital OBGYN, midwife center, and homebirth experience. I know what it is like to give birth and navigate both within and outside the industrial birth complex. I have personal experience with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies and what it is like to be concerned about the unknowns on the other side of delivery. In addition, I have experienced the benefits and relief of having a doula present to guide me through the portal of birth into the role of motherhood. ​ Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, delivery, and parenting. It is good to have someone to remind them that they can persevere during this time of newness. I'm here to provide evidence-based education, and emotional, physical, and personalized support, along with advocacy for your rights. ​ Mothers and couples who work with me will find I highly value their maintained autonomy, including mother-led labor and delivery. I recognize birth as a non-medical event that occasionally needs medical attention. High-risk pregnancies need significantly more care than healthy pregnancies- but that high-risk model of care should not be used to care for all expectant mothers. In this vein, I acknowledge that women do not need to be empowered to give birth well or ecstatically. Instead, their autonomy, human rights, and dignity must be protected and remain intact. Under these aforementioned parameters, birth will naturally lead toward positive and non-traumatic perspectives of its' outcome. ​ Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, as a Christian, I am confident there is much truth to be ascertained in the metaphor of birth used throughout the Bible.

Valerie is amazing! I was interested in having a doula for my pregnancy after feeling alone and unprepared at my last birth. Valerie provided valuable information during my pregnancy and was caring and responsive in the weeks leading up to my due date. Valerie was a huge comfort to my husband and I during labor as i transitioned quickly and had my son within 10 minutes of arriving at the hospital. We would’ve been much more scared if we didn’t have her with us during the drive to the hospital. Valerie helped give me the confidence to labor at home for the majority of my birth experience.
