Kasey has always loved children and babies, and has always thought of pregnancy and motherhood as something beautiful. She is a proud mother of four, (born in 2013, 2018, 2020 and 2023) and was inspired to become a doula during her personal journey as a gestational surrogate carrying twins in 2021. She also works as a licensed clinical social worker in the maternal child health field, and proudly says this field is her passion. Kasey is also passionate about mental health, continuing her education emphasizing on what will best serve her clients. 

When Kasey is not supporting her clients, she can be found spending time with her family and friends, getting her hands into a good Pinterest project or craft, or planning their next family trip.

She enjoys seeing the family content and confident. She is passionate about guiding both parents through the ins and out of new parenthood, while reminding each family of their strength and capability.

Over the past 12 years she has worked with many families, including over 10 sets of twins! As a trained sleep coach, she has also taken pride in helping each family sleep coach their babies. As a postpartum doula for the past seven years, she has worked with families in Center City Northeast Philadelphia and South Jersey with

a specialization in multiples families. She enjoys to continually learn about lactation support and staying up to date on evidence-based information for new

families. Jessie went to Nyack college for early education and finished with credits toward her bachelors, concentrating in kindergarten.

Currently residing in Blackwood, New Jersey, you will see her cooking, biking, but mostly spending time with her son in any way she can. She loves being creative, and as a nanny she loves coming up with ways to do crafts with the

young ones and help them to developmentally grow.

Emily is a full-spectrum doula who provides birth and postpartum support for the Born With Love Doulas team. She received professional training through Cardinal Birth Midwifery in 2018 as well as Active Birth Institute in 2023. Emily is also a trained Lamaze childbirth educator, completed Blossoming Bellies Pelvic Bodywork and Use of the Rebozo Workshop for Birth Professionals and holds current Basic Life Support certification. 

Emily became passionately driven towards birth work after experiencing the difference of having a doula’s support during the birth of her third child. She believes all birthing people have an innate knowing of how to birth; but discovering that power is challenging with access to an overwhelming amount of internet information and personal opinions from well meaning loved ones. Her goal is to help clients obtain evidence based knowledge on the physiological process of birth as the greatest tool leading up to their big day. She also recognizes the importance of creating a mind body connection for soon-to-be new parents and how cultivating this inner bond to oneself ignites a confidence that carries from birth into parenthood. Emily is deeply honored to have a role in every unique birth journey and especially loves getting to provide a continuity of care to postpartum families. 

Aside from her professional experience as a postpartum doula Emily has been a care provider of infants since 2006. She is also a mother of four babies born in 2011, 2014, 2018 and 2020. Emily has a natural ability to provide a calming presence while offering emotional support to new parents (and pups!) as they get to know their new family member. She believes children are the most important people on Earth. She is grateful for the opportunity to provide physical support in caring for a newborn as doing so reduces stress levels for the household making way for a peaceful start to the new life!

When Emily is not out doula-ing she can be found adventuring with her children, practicing yoga and feeling the ground beneath her feet. 

Gabriella has always been passionate about pregnancy and births, in 2010 she experienced the birth of her first baby while living in a different country and had the invaluable opportunity to be immersed in a birth culture different from her own. C-section rates are extremely high in the various countries Gabriella has had experience with. She had to learn quickly how to advocate for herself to ensure her wish for a natural birth became a reality, even after receiving pressure to change her birth plan. At that point she decided to study more, what started as self learning, became a dream job. In 2021 she completed her training with DONA international. Her goal as a Doula is to support parents emotionally and physically to provide the best pregnancy experience on their unforgettable birth journey. Gabriella's priority is to support the parent's personal choices and birth preferences.  She also speaks Portuguese, Hebrew and Spanish. 

Currently, Gabriella lives in Marlton, NJ with her husband, their two daughters, and their rescue dog Charlie
