My name is Kara and I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula through Madriella Doula Network.

I have 7 beautiful children of my own and have had many different birth experiences, including my last three births being at home and one of my children joining our family through adoption. My passion for helping women and their families during this special time in their lives is what drives me. I want to be able to help women from pregnancy to birth and beyond in a way that best supports them and empowers them to be the best mothers they can be.

Hi! My name is Brooke and I’m a DONA certified birth doula serving Clearfield Pennsylvania and the surrounding counties! I believe the difference between having a doula at your birth and not can be like night and day! I love meeting new families and tailoring my doula care to whatever their unique circumstances are! Whether you envision your birth being 100% natural, 100% medical or somewhere in the middle, I’m confident my evidence-based knowledge and experience can empower you through your pregnancy, labor and beyond! What I love most about birth is that there are endless possibilities for how it can go, but no matter what it is always beautiful and memorable! I have two amazing daughters of my own and my guilty pleasure is playing video games with my husband after they go to sleep.

I am a certified perinatal Doula who accepts Geisinger Medicaid and private pay. I specialize in birth planning, breast-feeding support, relaxation measures and teach Myles circuit. I offer both in person and virtual visits. Outside of my work, I am a missionary and a single mother of two older children. I have over 13 years of experience in birth-work and consider it a blessing to be able to support teenagers, women and babies. I also offer grief counseling for infant loss and abortion. I am currently accepting new clients in Lycoming County for deliveries at UPMC. I offer free consultations to new clients. Thank you for your interest!

Hi! My name is Andrea Schredl. As a postpartum doula, I support mothers through the tender unfolding of the fourth trimester, offering holistic postpartum care. After a mother journeys through the birth portal, postpartum comes and is here to stay. This time is delicate and tender. A liminal space. And I believe liminal spaces are sacred. These times are often unnavigated and full of unknown. They are filled with waiting, growing, healing, becoming. Sometimes, soft. Sometimes, dark. Sometimes, quiet and hardly noticeable. Always powerful and life-shaping. As a woman finds her way and begins taking her place as Mother in this liminal space, she is also rebirthed. This unfolding and becoming in matrescence is sacred. I believe women move through change most gently when they are held by other women. My professional background is based in speech-language pathology where my practice is rooted in compassionate and client-centric care. My doula training is with Childbirth International. I enjoy learning about perinatal health with particular interest in postpartum mental health. I offer a steady, calming presence, emotional tending, and practical support so you can rest, heal, and feel deeply supported. I am here for mothers who sense they need an extra layer of care. The season after birth is sacred, and I would be honored to be with you in it.

For nearly 9 years, I have supported families through all stages of the journey of parenthood with compassionate, evidence-based care. After training as a birth and postpartum doula in Brooklyn, New York, I began working with families throughout New York City, providing emotional support, education, advocacy, and a steady presence during some of life’s most transformative moments. My approach to care is rooted in informed decision-making, respect for autonomy, and creating a space where families feel safe, supported, and empowered. With a background in Human Development and Family Studies and future plans to pursue midwifery, I am passionate about combining nurturing support with current evidence-based practices to help families navigate birth and postpartum with confidence.
