I can't thank Jesse enough for the incredible support during my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. From our first meeting, she made me feel comfortable and informed. During labor, she was a calming presence, using techniques that truly helped manage my pain. Her postpartum support was invaluable, assisting with breastfeeding and newborn care. She was always available to answer questions and provided the emotional support I needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable doula!!

Hello! I’m Kayla, I’ve been a doula for about 3 years now. As I do Doula work, I am also a nanny on the side. My passion for birth work came from talking to friends and families about how traumatizing their births were. The more research I did, I soon realized that some of that trauma could have been resolved by simply having an advocate. I wanted to be that advocate for mothers. I truly believe that birth is such an amazing event, but each and every mother deserves support, as it is a huge moment. I want to advocate for YOU. If you have any questions in regards to availability, or just any questions in general, please reach out via email: thedelightfuldoula.pa@gmail.com

Hello! My name is Maddi, and I am a passionate Doula, Licensed Practical Nurse, and Midwifery student committed to providing compassionate, faith-led support to women and families throughout their reproductive journey. My calling to birth work began after the home birth of my first baby in 2021. Although it wasn’t the right season to dive in at that time, everything shifted in 2023 when the Lord led me into the field of Nursing. Halfway through school, during prayer, I was given a beautiful vision of my daughter’s birth—only this time, I was the midwife. I asked the Lord if it was finally my time, and since then He has guided my steps so clearly and purposefully. I am now training under the very Midwife who supported me during my daughter’s birth, and it has been an incredible journey of learning and growth. While continuing my training, I felt called to begin serving families as a Doula of my own—and I have loved every moment of it. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside families during one of the most sacred seasons of their lives, and thankful for the calling the Lord has placed on my heart.

Ive used Kara for both of my pregnancies/labors/deliveries and highly recommend Kara. I had two very different birth experiences and both Kara helped me through. Everything from being informed about what to expect, child birth and child care education, advocating for myself, thinking through birth preferences and answering any/every question i had. Kara was/is like a birthing best friend. Anything that came up with fears, challenges etc she helped talk through with me. Kara is so knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, i honestly could not imagine either experience without her.

Hi I’m Jess! I am a wife to Cody, mom to five girls, and a Certified Birth Doula. I have worked for three years with families. Grace-filled Birth Doula Services was created out of my desire to see families supported, empowered and advocated for during their pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum.

Recent review

I don't think I would have gotten my natural birth as well as I did without Jess. It was my very first pregnancy and Jess was keeping me from panicking all throughout my 10 hours in active labor in the hospital. She was quite literally there for me to lean on. Her affirmation cards were so helpful at keeping me calm through the pains. She never ceased to help me by making sure I always had hot water on my back in my tub, water tp drink, and snacks. She never let up on helping the whole time! Not only that, her follow up leading up to and after birth makes you really feel supported and cared for. She always had great advice for exercises and mindset practice leading up to labor. I know my husband was also so grateful to have her support as well as it is very scary to be the strong one for your wife in the most pain of her life. We are so blessed to have her as our doula.

Hi, I'm Victoria, also known as VicTheDoula, and I am the proud owner of The Crowned Nest Doula Company. As a dedicated doula, my mission is to support birthing individuals through their unique pregnancy journeys. Primarily, I offer remote doula services via text, calls, and Zoom meetings, ensuring that you have the guidance and support you need from the comfort of your own home. While I may occasionally offer in-person support on a case-by-case basis, my focus is on providing accessible care tailored to your needs. Though I do not have biological children, I am a loving mom of one and a foster/adoptive parent. My passion for becoming a doula stems from my experiences as a queer woman of color, where I have witnessed firsthand how the medical field can sometimes disadvantage women of color. With rising statistics highlighting these disparities, I felt compelled to advocate for those who may feel voiceless. I proudly support all couples and single parents, and my identity within the LGBTQIA+ community brings a unique perspective to my services. If you're seeking a remote doula who can be a steadfast rock during your time of need, provide valuable resources, and assist you and your partner in your journey to parenthood, I am here for you. Let's embark on this beautiful journey together!

Victoria was my doula for my pregnancy. As my sister I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else besides her to be there with me. Remotely and in person she was an amazing resource. When having complications while laboring doctors were ignoring my concerns. Vic quickly stepped in and had doctors realize something was wrong. Due to her diligence we realized my baby had already passed his meconium and an extra team needed to be present at his birth. I ended up having a c section of 25 hrs of laboring but Vic was right there cheering me on. Her being there for the birth of her nephew was pure magical. Best doula ever.
