Allow me to reintroduce myself! Welcome to my new followers and those who are curious 🧐 about me and what I do.

My name is Akaila, I am a birth & postpartum doula and maternal health advocate serving families in Northeastern PA.

I support parents through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and not in a “just get through it” kind of way.

I support you in a ‘you deserve to be held, informed, and supported’ kind of way.

Here’s what that actually looks like:
• Hands-on birth support for parents
• Postpartum care that prioritizes the mother, not just the baby
• Education around recovery, newborn care, feeding, and emotional health
• Real support during the vulnerable, messy, beautiful in-between moments

I believe we talk too much about the wrong things when it comes to preparing for parenthood. Its usually all about the gadgets and the techniques, but nobody ever prepares you for the support YOU will need for your own well being.

My work is about:
✔️ Restoring dignity to motherhood
✔️ Rebuilding community support
✔️ Making sure families don’t feel alone in one of the biggest transitions of their lives

If you’re a parent, expecting, supporting someone who is, or simply care about family health — this space is for you.

Welcome to the village.
We do this together.

Spent a few hours today hanging out with this little guy and his mommy running errands & assisting in the home.

He was recently promoted to Big Brother status as mom recently welcomed his baby brother! He cannot get enough of him.

Mom is now officially part of the 2 under 2 club, so she surely could use extra hands after birth!

Such a sweet baby, bursting with energy! As a boy mom myself, I totally relate to the hugs and endless kisses coupled with constant energy! They just keep going and going.

I love what I do! I love when families hire me postpartum. I end up becoming an integral part of the village. And thats my goal ❤️

Building back the village, one family at a time!

✨ Happy New Year! ✨

As we step into this new year, I’m carrying deep gratitude for the strong, powerful births I’ve had the honor of witnessing and supporting. I’ve seen courage in its rawest form. Mothers trusting their bodies, showing up fully, and doing the work.

I’ve also witnessed dads and birth partners rise with steady hands, firm voices, tears, prayers, protection, advocacy. Birth is not a solo act, and the strength of a united team is something I will never take lightly.

What’s ahead excites me. More families supported. More empowered births. More partners stepping into their role with confidence. More village-building.

Here’s to what’s next 🥂 intentional care, strong families, and births rooted in trust and support.

With purpose,
Sincerely, The Village Doula

Mama and dad are having a hospital light 💡 dinner bedside (LOL) eating a nice big juicy burger 🍔 rocking on her ball and facetiming her first born ❤️

Both parents are very pleased with the atmosphere of their second birth. Grateful to be here ❤️

Dad is here! Conversation is flowing and he really knows his stuff! All the pumping and labor terminology,

Mom is pumping with the hand pump and we did the “Fire Hydrant” pose with the peanut ball.

Things are moving along nicely. 🤩

Atmosphere is great 😌 mom is feeling good.

Mama is coming off the monitors for a while and we are going to go do some walking and chit chat.

A little oxytocin goes a long way! We are due for some giggles!! 🤭
