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!

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.

I am so grateful to have had Lisa by my side for the birth of my first baby! Lisa is one of those people who you meet and instantly feel safe with. She has such a calm and wise energy. Her presence and expertise was a huge part of why the birth went so smoothly, and she was an incredible resource in pregnancy and postpartum as well. When I went into labor three weeks early, I was in disbelief that it was really happening! Lisa, however, knew it was labor right away when I described what was happening, and she set a positive tone from the get go. She met us at the Midwife Center, where she was by my side for what turned out to be a beautiful and empowering birth experience. She guided me with breathing, vocalizations, a variety of positions, and words of encouragement all along the way. She was so great at gently encouraging me to keep moving and knew what would be helpful at different moments in the labor. My husband also said having her there allowed him to feel calm and useful—he didn’t have to stress about being the “expert” and could just focus on comforting me as my partner. On top of everything else, Lisa also captured beautiful photos that are such a joy to look back on. We would recommend Lisa to anyone we care about, and hope to have her join us again if we are able to grow our family in the future!

— Judith Swanson, review of Mary Carroll August 2026

I'll be honest, when my wife first brought up hiring a doula, I was skeptical. As a husband, I figured that was my job. I thought paying someone else to be in the room during one of the most personal moments of our lives sounded unnecessary, maybe even an expense we didn't need. I couldn't have been more wrong. We labored at the midwife center for 12 hours, and during that time Lisa was invaluable. She empowered my wife through natural labor, walking us through positions, breathing techniques, and encouragement that helped us stay strong and confident without relying on interventions. She gave both of us tools and reassurance that made a really intense process feel manageable. But things didn't go quite as planned, and we ended up needing to transfer to Magee. That moment could have been chaotic and terrifying, but Lisa was right there with us, helping us understand our options and make the decision with confidence instead of panic. She didn't just show up for the "easy" parts of labor. She stayed well into the early morning hours the next day, long before our son was even born, making sure my wife and our unborn child were safe every step of the way. What struck me most was how Lisa balanced expertise with genuine care. She knew when to advocate for us, when to explain what the medical staff were saying in terms we could actually process, and when to simply be a calm, steady presence when my wife and I were both exhausted and scared. She never made me feel unnecessary as a husband. If anything, she helped me show up better for my wife because I wasn't drowning in the unknowns alone. It was a long, tough birth, but because of Lisa's knowledge, her ability to navigate a stressful transfer, and her doula skills, we came out the other side with a healthy baby boy and a wife who felt supported the entire time. Looking back, hiring Lisa wasn't an added expense. It was one of the best investments we made in our son's birth. To any dads out there who are skeptical like I was: don't be. Get a doula. Get Lisa if you can. You won't regret it.
