Experienced Mount Lebanon Doula & Lactation Support

“We felt so much more confident in deciding many of our preferences for birth and parenting, as Megan and Marlee helped us recognize what was really important to us. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone having a baby! They are amazing and hiring them was truly one of the best decisions we ever made.”

- Renae

Are you looking for:

  • a knowledgeable guide to support you through labor and birth?

  • meaningful classes to help you prepare for birth and beyond?

  • practical and emotional support as you settle into life with your new little one?

We're here for you.

We honor your journey into parenthood as a rite of passage, not just a medical event.

We have been offering childbirth education, labor support, and help for families welcoming a new baby since 2014, and we LOVE what we do!

We strive to provide nonjudgmental, compassionate support to everyone we work with. It’s important to us to offer a safer space for folks to experience and express the full range of emotions this time of life can bring.
