About me
I’m a certified Doula, Yoga Instructor, and Lactation Consultant based in Pittsburgh, with experience supporting clients who speak Swahili, Spanish, Portuguese, Pashto, Russian, and Dari. I specialize in using natural comfort measures to help make labor faster, more comfortable, and empowering. I support all types of births—unmedicated, medicated, and C-sections—as well as pregnancy loss as a bereavement doula. As a mother of two, my journey began in 2015 after a traumatic birth experience and the loss of my son. That experience inspired my mission to redefine the birth experience and ensure every mother feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My role is to uplift you, honor your choices, and provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care every step of the way.

Ratings and reviews
Destine did an AMAZING job during my birth experience. It was my first time and she was so knowledgeable and helpful especially when I needed her the most. She made sure I was comfortable at all times and felt like family. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything Destine
