Philadelphia Doula recommendations?

mmgummere

Hello! I'm looking for a doula in Philadelphia. I've looked on dona.org-- there are dozens in Philly. Anyone have any recommendations to help me narrow down the choices? Also, I've read that the cost of a doula is usually more expensive in metropolitan areas. What seems to be the average cost in Philly? 

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi there!  I am a doula in the Philadelphia area and would be happy to speak to you and also send you a list of doulas whos services and prices vary.  It is always a good idea to speak to a few to decide who is most comfortable for you.

You are welcome to send me a private message or email me at keliengleson  @  yahoo

We worked with Christina at Well Born Baby.  She was great and they have a lot of resources in the group for breastfeeding and new mom support.  My understanding is that the cost for a doula is based on where you live (avg costs for Philly) and level of experience. She also teaches childbirth classes and is a breastfeeding counselor.  Her cost wasn't the least or most expensive but it was worth every penny!
