It has been an incredible privilege to work with new families, helping them ensure a positive start and reach their full potential as a family unit. As your postpartum doula, I will be your reliable companion, guiding you through this transformative journey. Together, we will identify your child’s needs and learn effective ways to care for your new baby and yourself. Before becoming a doula, I dedicated 17 years of my life to teaching early childhood. During this time, I managed a classroom of infants and toddlers, balancing my care for the infants with curriculum development for preschool-aged children. I had the privilege of meeting and working with many young families navigating this new phase of life, which fueled my passion for providing more direct support to these new families. I am honored to bring my extensive experience to the families I now serve as a doula. I consider myself a mentor to these new parents, empowering them to find the tools and techniques to make their first days and weeks with their new baby as comfortable as possible. Additionally, I am trained in infant soothing and calming techniques, and I hold CPR and First Aid Certification, ensuring that I can provide the best possible care for infants under my care. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to assist you in having the best possible start as a new family.

I’m a postpartum doula certified by ProDoula. I’m passionate about helping, comforting, and cheering on moms and families as they heal and gain confidence in caring for their new additions. I have two daughters of my own, so I spend quality time with them, teaching my 16 year old to drive, and helping my 18 year old navigate her first year of college. I also love walking my dog, baking, reading, and traveling.

***FOR INQUIRIES EMAIL***: Hello@mothersisterfriend.org Site:https://www.MotherSisterFriend.org When Brittany became a mom at 19, she recalls feeling afraid, unprepared, and disconnected from herself. She lacked a strong support system, and self-advocacy was a foreign concept to her. All she knew was to follow doctors' orders. So, she suffered through her first HG pregnancy without treatment, showed up at the hospital at the first sign of contractions, and birthed her baby via cesarean for reasons unknown. When she became pregnant with her second child a few years later, she was more intentional in finding a care team to support her in achieving her birth goals. She hired doula-midwives from whom she received all of her prenatal care. Despite Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) and other stressors negatively impacting that pregnancy as well, having an attentive and supportive care team that centered her needs and respected her bodily autonomy influenced a more positive and empowering experience. Inspired by her journey, Brittany felt compelled to pay it forward. She believes everyone deserves a safe, informed and empowering birthing experience. Recognizing the implications of birthing while Black in America, she actively challenges coercive healthcare practices and, alongside many dedicated birth workers, strives to improve the state of Black maternal and infant healthcare.

So many good things I could say but my experience with Brittany was nothing short of amazing!!!! My birth didn't go as planned so instead of a vaginal unmedicated birth I had to have a cesarean. However Brittany explained everything step by step which made me relax a bit. She also helped me prepare a birthing plan for a vaginal as well as a cesarean birth. I've never felt so empowered. One of the very few people that I would entrust with my son while I showered and took some much needed rest with my door shut! No worries at all. A meal prepared and a clean house. As Moms we need our village!!! Thank you for everything! 💙💚 Round 2 lol

Hello everyone! My name is Donna-Lee Bellamy and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula. I am VBAC Link trained and I am also a birth photographer. I became a doula because I am passionate about helping women have the birthing experiences they deserve, and doing everything to avoid postpartum pelvic floor damage if possible. As a doula I believe in the holistic approach to birthing care; if we take care of mama's mind, body and soul, and everything will be ok. I can truly say doula work is my heart and I hope I can serve as many mama's as I can.

My name is Victoria McQuiston, and I am deeply honored to serve as a certified postpartum doula and infant care specialist. Based in West Chester, PA, I am privileged to support families across the greater Philadelphia area during one of the most transformative seasons of life. With both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Communication Studies, I am profoundly aware of the power of connection and the vital role that community plays in nurturing women and families during the postpartum journey. My mission is to create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space for all parents seeking guidance, reassurance, and emotional support as they navigate this precious and sometimes challenging time. Beyond my professional calling, I find joy in life’s simplest and sweetest moments—exploring the outdoors with my two young sons, savoring a beloved book at a cozy local café, and sharing laughter and creativity in the kitchen with my husband. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you in this beautiful chapter, offering both encouragement and care as you embrace the incredible journey of parenthood.

Working with Victoria was the best decision we made as new parents! We initially hired her for six weeks, but she was so amazing that we extended her contract for four more months. We honestly don’t know how we would’ve gotten through that time without her. Victoria is not only super professional but also so warm and personable. From day one, she felt like part of the family. She always listened to what we needed, respected our parenting choices, and gave helpful advice without ever being pushy. It was clear how much she cared, and her calm, supportive presence made such a difference during those hectic first months. And let me just say, I don't think we could have done it without her! Our little one adored her, and she had this magical way of soothing even the crankiest moments. Her overnight care was a game changer for us—we finally got some much-needed sleep, knowing our baby was in the best hands. If you’re thinking about hiring a postpartum doula, don’t even hesitate. Victoria is incredible, and we feel so lucky to have had her with us during such an important time. She made everything so much easier and more enjoyable!

Hello, my name is Nashare and I am the owner of That Community Helper. I am trained as birth and postpartum doula, but currently focusing on postpartum clients. I graduated college with a degree in Early Childhood Education and it made me realize that the best foundation for a good early childhood is through the mother/parents. I believe that parents have lost the support through the entire perinatal phase and it is my desire and goal to make sure the parents build confidence in themselves. In my practice I believe in creating a compassionate, education-driven, supportive environment during a very sensitive time in parents’ lives. In my free time, I like to paint, draw, and read.

Hi there, I am a wife and mother to 3 children. I spend my days staying current on evidence based information about prenatal, peri and postnatal care. I enjoy playing soccer with my kids, cooking, decorating my home for each season and holiday as well as baking and arts and crafts with my kids after school. I have always been enamored with Labor and Delivery! My most favorite thing is to hear others that talk about their birthing experience. Whether it was positive or not, this most intimate time in their lives will always be memorable. As a birth and post partum doula with several other certifications, I make it my mission to help soon to be and returning parents have a positive birth outcome even during unpredictable situations.

I had the honor of walking alongside Christine's journey. She is a bright, loving, encouraging light in this world and a gift to birthing people before and after delivery. She is full of knowledge, experience, ongoing education, mindfulness. She is a lifelong learner seeking to bring the best to others, while practicing the tools she brings to others. She practices with humility, gentleness and inclusivity. She and the services she provides are a gift to families who have just brought new life into this world. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Judith Christine Stirn!
