Hello everyone, my name is Cherese Mariya, and I am a Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Licensed Behavioral Specialist, and Perinatal Mental Health Advocate based in Philadelphia. My passion lies in supporting mothers holistically—physically, emotionally, and mentally—throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. With a background in maternal mental health and behavioral wellness, I specialize in creating culturally affirming, trauma-informed spaces for BIPOC mothers. I believe that postpartum healing goes beyond just recovery—it’s about mental wellness, emotional resilience, and community support. Through The Remarkable Boutique, I provide personalized doula care, postpartum wellness services, and recovery essentials like our signature Mommy Bags. My approach is nurturing, non-judgmental, and deeply rooted in ensuring that every mother feels seen, heard, and supported. In my free time, I love exploring herbal remedies, spending quality time with my daughter, and creating mindfulness practices for mothers navigating their postpartum journey. I’d love to support you—let’s connect! 💜

As a mom of three, pregnancy and birth always fascinated me. Supporting families during pregnancy, in labor, and post- delivery has opened my eyes to the beauty of the perinatal field. The combination of passion and true love for this field has fulfilled my life in ways unexplainable. I look forward to continuing to meet families from all walks of life, in various journeys, with unbiased support.

Hello sweet friends. I have had the honor of doing birth doula work for the past 6 years and I’ve come to understand and believe a few things. I believe that birth is given to us to help us discover what we are capable of and can impact us for the rest of our lives. As you embark on this adventure we call parenthood, whether it’s the first time or the fifth, your birth has the power to fertilize seeds of confidence or seeds of doubt. I want to remind you that this is YOUR birth, YOUR body, and YOUR baby. You deserve to have a birth team that sees and hears YOU and what YOU need to walk confidently through your labor and into parenthood.

I am passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, labor & birth as a birth doula. I provide prenatal childbirth education to all clients, making sure that everyone approaches childbirth with the basic understanding of what's going on internally, and how to work WITH your body's natural hormones, not against them, to get the best birthing experience possible. I support birth wherever it happens (home, hospital, or birthing center) and am especially passionate about supporting VBACs and home births.

Hi folks! My name is Revvy (he/him & she/her). I am a queer & trans full-spectrum birthworker based in Delaware County, PA, just outside of Philadelphia. My aim is to support folks through all possible experiences & outcomes of the reproductive process. My practice centers survivors and their autonomy, operating through a witchy lens. I believe all healing and care work practices must be intersectional as well as liberation-minded. I strive to make my work accessible and community oriented.

Recent review

Revvy was my doula for my most recent conception and pregnancy journey, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Revvy is knowledgable, and was able to answer questions that I had succinctly and compassionately. My pregnancy was complex, with gestational hypertension that caused me to have my baby boy several weeks early. Through this, Revvy helped me to feel empowered and prepared with solid information, recommendations for homeopathic remedies, and enthusiastic reassurance. My partner and I felt empowered to advocate for ourselves, especially after previous losses and challenges surrounding those feelings. I felt supported through the whole process, and would recommend Revvy as a doula to anybody looking for services.

My name is Nia Rose, I am a WHOLElistic doula where I take into consideration the whole (spiritual, mental, physical and emotional) aspect of pregnancy and birth. My practice evolves around meeting my clients wherever they are at and being alongside them as they journey into parenthood. I love to incorporate what I have learned from previous experiences as I learn and grow along my journey into birth work. I would love to chat with you to determine if we will be a good fit!

Recent review

I hired Nia Nchami as a doula for the birth of my second daughter in 2022. After an initial conversation via email, she came to our house and really listened to my concerns, fears and hopes for my delivery. She took extensive notes and created a birth plan that truly encapsulated what I wanted for the birth. We stayed in contact for several months and talked more frequently as my due day neared. When the day came, she was a force of nature. She kept me calm and confident. She helped me to navigate the birthing process. But most importantly, advocated for me with my doctors, nurses and healthcare staff to ensure that I received the best care. I can truly say that I had a much better experience giving birth than the first time and Nia was a big reason why. She is extremely professional, but also calm and caring. I’m so glad that I found her!

I'm a lactation consultant located in Wilmington, Delaware and a single mother to two sons. Yes, I nursed them both. (Yes, for years.) I’m passionate about many things, one of the primary being mothers and people who birth babies. Helping them discover how amazing their bodies are through breastfeeding is deeply fulfilling, as is accompanying couples as they learn to parent together, growing closer and becoming stronger. While you are with me, you will experience total attention from a kind and non-judgmental listener. My goal is to help you feel confident in the choices you are making, whatever they are. We will find a way to keep you and your baby safe, happy, and healthy, however that looks for you. At The Golden Hour, you belong.

Rachel provided me and my baby with excellent care while helping me to navigate an emotionally exhausting time. I specifically noticed that she took time to listen to me and my concerns before diagnosing and treating. Still happily and efficiently nursing my 1-year-old. I cannot recommend her enough; thanks Rachel!

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. To read testimonials from parents who have trusted me to be a part of their experience, follow this link: https://doulamatch.net/profile/34407/ari-eisen. 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.

Ari is a wonderful doula. My husband and I worked with Ari during pregnancy and delivery (at the hospital). Ari was consistently a fantastic partner and coach to both of us. We felt understood, cared for, and supported. From listening to our goals, offering resources, and even providing a reassuring massage, Ari was a source of relief. We also appreciated that she was very knowledgeable but at no point told us what to do or passed judgments on our intentions for pregnancy and delivery. Ari is both calming and confident – the perfect energy to help me deliver our child. I strongly recommend them to any birthing parent or partner!
