Support for Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond in Wexford, PA

 

We’re Marlee & Megan Malone-Franklin, a wife-and-wife doula team since 2014.

Marlee and Megan Malone-Franklin Wexford doulas

Our support for Pittsburgh-area families includes birth doula services, postpartum support, lactation consults, birthing classes, and gentle sleep consulting for infants and toddlers.

We attend births at AHN Wexford, other local hospitals, and at home. We especially love helping families navigate the hospital environment during birth. (Over 90% of our doula clients plan hospital births.)

We serve clients birthing at:

“When all of my friends urged us to work with a doula for the pregnancy and birth of our first baby, I could never have imagined the support — technical and emotional — that we would find with Megan and Marlee. Working with them has simply been the best thing we could have done for ourselves and our baby.”

— Elizabeth

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.
