I'm Victoria — a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Candidate, Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing Instructor, and trained in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy & Acupressure! My journey into birth work began with my own transformative postpartum experience as a mother, which inspired me to support others through the deeply personal and powerful seasons of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I take a wholistic approach that centers each family’s unique needs with care and compassion. With a strong focus on maternal mental health and emotional well-being, I’m a dedicated advocate for informed, empowered choices and gentle, supportive care. I believe that when we nurture the mother, we nurture the entire family — and it’s my honor to hold space for both the beauty and the challenges of this life-changing journey.

My name is Grace Kovitch and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as craniosacral therapy practitioner located in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. When I started off as a birth doula, I quickly saw the drop off in care that happened with postpartum mothers, and have dedicated my career to making sure every new mom is educated, supported, and cared for. Postpartum support is truly where my heart is, and I love seeing the moment where a new mom starts to feel confident in her new role. When I'm not supporting families, you can find me hiking, backpacking, or spending time with my loved ones.

Hi! I'm Yanesa, a certified doula and founder of Doulas Through Life. We support families in Eastern PA. We offer primarily prenatal, postpartum, overnight support, birth, newborn care, emotional wellness, and more. I myself have been a doula for 5 years now currently work with an agency as well. Whether you are a first-time parent or growing your family, my goal is to help you feel confident and cared for. I like working with kids but as a doula I have grown to love working with the parents as well. Seeing a family grow and gain confidence is so precious and fulfilling. Both mom and dad (yes dads can have postpartum) need love to. And I try to emphasize that within my company. I majored in public health and have used that knowledge to better equip doula care to be more community based and well known and not some secret society haha. It doesn't always take a village but it truly does make all the difference having one by your side and we all deserve too. Doulas Through Life is a team-based practice, so we match each family with the doula who best fits their needs, availability, and type of support requested.

Meet Kamilla Kamilla is a Full Spectrum Doula through Cornerstone Birthwork Training, as well as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) trained through Newborn Care Solutions. With over 5 years of international experience, she is passionate about providing compassionate, knowledgeable, and individualized support to families during the postpartum and newborn period. Born and raised in Brazil in a large, loving family, Kamilla grew up surrounded by caregiving. Inspired by her grandmother, a traditional midwife, she developed a deep connection to newborn care, maternal support, and nurturing practices from an early age. Her passion for postpartum care became even more personal after supporting her own mother through postpartum depression. This experience gave her a deeper understanding of how vulnerable, emotional, and overwhelming the postpartum transition can be. Through her professional experience, she has also supported families navigating baby blues and postpartum depression, always providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support while recognizing when additional professional care may be needed. Kamilla has additional training in Montessori Education, Sleep Training through Summer Secret, and Early Childhood Development. She is currently continuing her education in Breastfeeding Education through CAPPA and pursuing her nursing education to further expand her knowledge of maternal and newborn care. With a background in law and extensive hands-on experience caring for newborns and supporting families, Kamilla brings together professional education, practical experience, and genuine compassion. She understands that postpartum is not always the beautiful, effortless experience portrayed online. It can be exhausting, emotional, unpredictable, and overwhelming. Her goal is to create a calm and supportive environment where parents can rest, recover, bond with their baby, and feel confident in their new role. Kamilla provides individualized support based on each family’s unique needs, with a focus on newborn care, postpartum recovery, sleep support, feeding support, and the emotional well-being of the family. Her philosophy is simple: When we care for the mother, we care for the entire family.

Dia duit, hello! I am Eilís and I am a certified doula and full spectrum birth worker in Philadelphia PA. I have long been drawn to pregnancy and birth, and after the birth of my first baby at 16, I first trained to be a doula in 2005. I apprenticed and assisted with midwives for many years, and am also a trauma-informed social worker, herbalist, yoga teacher, and energy and body worker. I weave my experiences and skill sets together, providing intuitive and tailored physical, informational, educational, mental, emotional, and spiritual supports. I see the role of a doula or monitrice as a steward- someone to tend to and watch over the person, couple, family during labor, birth, and postpartum and providing care and remedies as is fit and called for. Every birth, body, baby is unique and I see it as my role to meet everyone where they're at. Some people need every bell and whistle, some people need their back squeezed for 12 hours, some people need a quiet, confident witness to be present, but hands off. I am here for all of that and everything in between. Outside of birth work, I am a mother to seven and I love to garden, cook, learn Irish, swim in all bodies of water, and overall, just have a good time of it.

Hi, my name is Iris, and I am a doula in the Philadelphia area! My driving philosophy is that it takes a village--and for many years, I delved into that through nannying, helping parents care and raise their littles, but now my goal has been to rewind a little--and focus on the foundation of where that starts. With the parents and the births! As a doula, I am here to support you in your journey to parenthood! While that may look different depending on your family's needs, it generally means I am here to support you in figuring out what a satisfying birth looks like to you and to advocate for you during the stress of labor, so that you may focus on the labor itself! So while I am newer to the doula realm, I am a veteran in "being the village" and supporting growing families--I can't wait to support yours! I am currently offering discounts for my first ten clients and payment plans/sliding scale is always available as well! Feel free to email with inquiries regarding services or availability at Imwfamilysupport@gmail.com.

Laura's passion for birth and family support began over a decade ago as a nanny of five children, before staying home with her own three boys. Currently, Laura is working with families to reduce fear and provide support during a major life event: Childbirth. As a mom herself, Laura has personally experienced a natural epidural-free delivery, a birth with epidural, and a cesarean birth. She specializes in VBAC support and emphasizes the importance of confidence and a feeling of security during the prenatal journey. Laura continues to support other moms and new families to navigate through the new experiences and challenges that pregnancy and parenthood may bring. Laura is the owner and founder of Princeton Doulas.

My journey into birth work began eight years ago after the birth of my son and deepened through my experience as a gestational surrogate and, most recently, the birth of my daughter this past summer. Those journeys which were both beautiful and challenging, showed me the power of feeling seen and supported. My own doula’s care really inspired me to offer that same gift to others. I hold a Master’s in Counseling, am a National Certified Counselor, and am a Certified Doula through New Beginnings Doula Training. I’m currently pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor credential and Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). I also serve as a Specialized Support Coordinator for Postpartum Support International for birth trauma, where I connect families to resources for the postpartum journey including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and birth trauma. To me, birth is a mind, body, and spiritual experience. My approach blends compassion, trauma-informed care, advocacy, and holistic practices to help you feel empowered and heard.
