Congratulations on this next journey of life! My name is Alex and I’m here to help with your infant’s feeding journey, no matter how that may look for you. Whether it’s exclusively breastfeeding, pumping and offering breastmilk, formula feeding or a combination of them all, I am happy to help.

As a Certified Labor Doula working in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area since 2020, I offer personalized birthing, lactation, and postpartum support as well as childbirth & postpartum education. My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about pregnancy, delivery, feeding, and parenting. ​ I am inspired by women's strength and the miracle of birth. This inspiration is why I became a Certified Labor Doula through Maternity Wise and am proud to serve women and families throughout South Western Pennsylvania. I first became interested in becoming a doula in 2017 when I became inspired by a supportive doula I hired for my second and third pregnancies. I was later encouraged to become a doula by a close friend, who then was the first mother I could serve as an educator and doula. ​ I have three little boys of my own, and have had a hospital OBGYN, midwife center, and homebirth experience. I know what it is like to give birth and navigate both within and outside the industrial birth complex. I have personal experience with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies and what it is like to be concerned about the unknowns on the other side of delivery. In addition, I have experienced the benefits and relief of having a doula present to guide me through the portal of birth into the role of motherhood. ​ Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, delivery, and parenting. It is good to have someone to remind them that they can persevere during this time of newness. I'm here to provide evidence-based education, and emotional, physical, and personalized support, along with advocacy for your rights. ​ Mothers and couples who work with me will find I highly value their maintained autonomy, including mother-led labor and delivery. I recognize birth as a non-medical event that occasionally needs medical attention. High-risk pregnancies need significantly more care than healthy pregnancies- but that high-risk model of care should not be used to care for all expectant mothers. In this vein, I acknowledge that women do not need to be empowered to give birth well or ecstatically. Instead, their autonomy, human rights, and dignity must be protected and remain intact. Under these aforementioned parameters, birth will naturally lead toward positive and non-traumatic perspectives of its' outcome. ​ Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, as a Christian, I am confident there is much truth to be ascertained in the metaphor of birth used throughout the Bible.

Welcome! I’m honored you’re here. As a dedicated doula and mother of 6, I provide compassionate, personalized support for expectant families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey.

Whether this is your first baby or your sixth, I’m here to help create a birth experience that aligns with your values and brings peace of mind to you and your family.

Hi! My name is Lexi, I am a postpartum doula, and soon to be birth doula! (April 2024!!!). I come from a community with very limited resources for pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My goal is to help that. I myself want to be a resource for you, to allow you to have the birth and postpartum journey that you want. I aim to provide families with resources, confidence and peace. I focus mainly on breastfeeding support, nutrition and meal prepping, postpartum prep, and most of all, just being a listening, non judgmental, supportive ear or shoulder. In my spare time I love to spend time with my 3 year old daughter, go for walks and practice yoga. Let’s make your postpartum journey peaceful, cozy, and most importantly let’s make it what you want!

My name is Curryn Kelley and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Registered Nurse. I have been a Registered Nurse since 2017 and spent most of my nursing career caring for children and families in a variety of setting. Children and babies have always been my passion and I fell in love with breastfeeding and lactation while working in a pediatric practice. I now work full time as an IBCLC and love it! I started an inclusive practice and strive to provide culturally sensitive, trauma informed care to all of my clients. I am inclusive of all communities, colors and beliefs and supportive of LGBTQIA+. I aim to meet you where you are and support your breastfeeding/chestfeeding goals whatever they may be.

I’m a certified Doula, Yoga Instructor, and Lactation Consultant based in Pittsburgh, with experience supporting clients who speak Swahili, Spanish, Portuguese, Pashto, Russian, and Dari. I specialize in using natural comfort measures to help make labor faster, more comfortable, and empowering. I support all types of births—unmedicated, medicated, and C-sections—as well as pregnancy loss as a bereavement doula. As a mother of two, my journey began in 2015 after a traumatic birth experience and the loss of my son. That experience inspired my mission to redefine the birth experience and ensure every mother feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My role is to uplift you, honor your choices, and provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care every step of the way.

I was born & raised in New York, attended Fordham University at Rose Hill, Bronx NY and Ross University Medical School, where I completed my Pediatrics residency at Flushing Hospital Medical Center, Bronx NY. Although I loved helping children and young adults of all ages, I always gravitated towards newborns. Breastfeeding moms and babies often don't get the care and attention they need to thrive. So after careful consideration, I realized I could have a positive impact on newborns as a Lactation Consultant. As an IBCLC, I am well equipped to provide newborns, moms & their families with comprehensive breastfeeding support services, while still working in medical field.

I love God, my family, my pup Boo, everything birth, and empowering families through education because knowledge is power! I love teaching birth doula workshops through DONA and have been a doula for 27 years, a Trainer for 17 years, and a CLC. Join my 3-day workshop from anywhere as I teach mostly virtually through Zoom.us and you'll receive 3 certificates, all of which are the first steps in becoming certified through DONA International. Now is the time to become a doula! Many States are getting on board with Medicaid paying a Doula for their services!

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, certified Childbirth Educator, Certified Lactation educator and Certified Hypnobirthing educator serving Lancaster, York and Harrisburg areas in Pennsylvania. To me, Birth is the most sacred event in nature. And my goal is to empower every birthing person have the birth they desire. I am here to provide emotional, physical and informational support but I am also here to coach the birthing person to see the value and strength they have to do it their intended way.

Liz is an Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) trained body worker who has over 10 years of experience working with newborns and their families. Her unique perspective on family centered care comes from a compilation of knowledge that she gained by working in a Level III NICU, as a postpartum doula, as a lactation consultant and a body worker. Her philosophy is that every family should feel they are thriving, not just surviving, the adjustment to adding a new baby to the family. While a lot of her time is focused on the first three months after delivery, her support can span years as the family unit is ever evolving. Her specialties include oral function, assessment for oral restriction (aka lip/tongue ties), tension release with CFT, post NICU graduates, multiples, and medically complex infants. The most important factors that drive the care you will receive from Liz are 1) what are you goals as a family and 2) what is the root cause of any struggle you are experiencing. There will be no band-aid fixes provided and nothing short of comprehensive care provided. It would be an honor to be included in your postpartum journey!

Creating lasting memories, empowering women, and providing comprehensive support are central to my approach. I am deeply committed to making a positive impact with the families I support, offering them care, guidance, and a safe space for communication. I look forward to supporting you!
