Hello!

I am a professionally trained and Certified Doula and Yoga instructor in the Pittsburgh area. I have experience worthing with Swahili, Spanish, Portuguese, Pashto and Dari speaking birth clients. I specialize in using natural comfort measures to make your labor faster, comfortable, and empowering. I am a mother of two I set out to become a doula in 2015 when I had a traumatic birth experience which resulted in the loss of my son. This has pushed me over the years to want to redefine the birth experience for mothers and make sure their voice is heard throughout their pregnancy and during their labor. , I am not here to judge but to uplift you and support your birth decisions.

As a Certified Labor Doula working in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area since 2020, I offer personalized birthing, lactation, and postpartum support as well as childbirth & postpartum education. My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about pregnancy, delivery, feeding, and parenting. ​ I am inspired by women's strength and the miracle of birth. This inspiration is why I became a Certified Labor Doula through Maternity Wise and am proud to serve women and families throughout South Western Pennsylvania. I first became interested in becoming a doula in 2017 when I became inspired by a supportive doula I hired for my second and third pregnancies. I was later encouraged to become a doula by a close friend, who then was the first mother I could serve as an educator and doula. ​ I have three little boys of my own, and have had a hospital OBGYN, midwife center, and homebirth experience. I know what it is like to give birth and navigate both within and outside the industrial birth complex. I have personal experience with low-risk and high-risk pregnancies and what it is like to be concerned about the unknowns on the other side of delivery. In addition, I have experienced the benefits and relief of having a doula present to guide me through the portal of birth into the role of motherhood. ​ Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, delivery, and parenting. It is good to have someone to remind them that they can persevere during this time of newness. I'm here to provide evidence-based education, and emotional, physical, and personalized support, along with advocacy for your rights. ​ Mothers and couples who work with me will find I highly value their maintained autonomy, including mother-led labor and delivery. I recognize birth as a non-medical event that occasionally needs medical attention. High-risk pregnancies need significantly more care than healthy pregnancies- but that high-risk model of care should not be used to care for all expectant mothers. In this vein, I acknowledge that women do not need to be empowered to give birth well or ecstatically. Instead, their autonomy, human rights, and dignity must be protected and remain intact. Under these aforementioned parameters, birth will naturally lead toward positive and non-traumatic perspectives of its' outcome. ​ Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, as a Christian, I am confident there is much truth to be ascertained in the metaphor of birth used throughout the Bible.

Hi there! I’m Michelle! I’m a fellow home birth mama to four amazing children. I believe birth should be gentle, undisturbed and transformational for mothers and their families. Nurturing mothers during birth and postpartum is the foundation for how they are able to connect with their families and themselves. We are rewriting the patriarchal narrative, women need to serve women above all else. It’s important to know that as your doula, I strive for a friendship, not a business agreement. I’m so excited to meet you!

Hi! I'm Makenzie but most people call me Mak. My love for babies started in the NICU and has grown into caring for newborns in the home. I love teaching babies to sleep right from the start so parents can enjoy those precious moments instead of being stressed out and exhausted.

Hello! My name is Emily Freilino, and I am a certified pediatric and adult sleep consultant and proud member of Sleep Wise Consulting. Originally from the beautiful state of Colorado, I recently moved from my Brooklyn, NY home to West Orange, NJ before finally settling in Jefferson Hills, PA with my husband and two boys. I was the Outstanding Graduate for the University of Colorado’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication where I also received a minor degree in Sociology. When I found out I was pregnant with my first son, Sullivan, I used my expertise in project management and my keen eye for detail to plan out exactly how I was going to manage our new bundle of joy. I read all of the books and thought I knew exactly what I was getting into. Boy, was I wrong! Sully arrived and while my husband and I relished in the exciting phase of having a newborn, we were also drained. As my maternity leave was coming to a close, we were still encountering multiple overnight wakings with short (or no) naps. So, I reached out to Sleep Wise Consulting. The Sleep Wise team took the time to get to know my son and our family and crafted a plan that was specialized for us. Within the first few days, Sully was sleeping through the night and taking great naps! As my son grew older, I watched in amazement at how smoothly our family ran and how happy our boy was with his new sleep skills. I saw friends struggling with their own children’s sleep and knew I needed to help others benefit from what Sleep Wise gave to me. I left my 10 year career in marketing and advertising, and decided to join the Sleep Wise team. I believe that a well-rested family is a family that has more time to laugh, hug and play, and I would love to help bring more of that to your life! My passion lies in helping others get the sleep they need. I will take the time to get to know you and your family and ensure that your questions are answered – I settle for nothing less than success and am excited to be working with you!

Our sweet Riley was the best thing that's ever happened..until it came to sleeping. I felt like I had gone from an over-excited mom-to-be to the exhaustion and lack of confidence of a sleepless mom. No one gives you a manual on how to care for a child but these sleep packages are almost that- everyone should have them. It changed my life and made me love being a mom. After working with Sleep Wise I was not only committed to continuing these healthy sleep skills in our home but also passionate about helping other families find the confidence and rest they deserve. As your sleep consultant, I commit to guiding and supporting you through your baby’s (and your) successful transition to restfulness. The skills I’ll help you develop will set you and your baby up for the years to come, making you the dream sleep team you always imagined!
