Postpartum Doulas in Philadelphia

19 of the 21 doulas here publish a postpartum rate. Hourly rates run from $35 to $100, most between $35 and $55, and overnight care is often a few dollars more per hour than daytime care. Some sell packages instead: Edoukou Aka-Ezoua’s postpartum packages start at $700 for 16 hours, Stephanie Devine sells 20 hours for $700, and Kelly Kolb charges $375 for an eight-hour overnight. Every figure is quoted verbatim from the doula’s own site or their DoulaMatch profile; where nothing is published the field is blank.

Sometimes. Kelly Kolb lists approval for Pennsylvania Medicaid on DoulaMatch, Kiana Lee Harper lists New Jersey FamilyCare, and Edoukou Aka-Ezoua says she is a NJ Medicaid doula provider. Jennifer Mendez and Danielle Straus mention Carrot fertility benefits, and Michelle El Khoury accepts select insurance plans. Confirm your own plan with the doula before booking.

A postpartum doula provides non-medical support at home after birth: newborn care, feeding help, rest for the birthing parent, light household tasks and meals, and emotional support. Day shifts and overnights are both common. They do not diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Yes. Five are based in Philadelphia itself, three on the Main Line and in Delaware County, four in Montgomery County, two in Bucks County, one in Chester County and six in South Jersey. Most state a service area across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so filter by area first and ask about travel.

Each one is listed as a postpartum doula on DoulaMatch with a Philadelphia-area service ZIP, runs their own practice with a live website, and offers a real postpartum service on that site. Doula agencies, birth-only doulas whose postpartum care is a visit inside a birth package, and sites that do not name the doula were left out.
