Blessed Arrivals News

We have recently added a few doulas to our group. This has allowed us to cover a wider area. We now can cover births from Johnstown, Pa to Youngstown OH and North to Grove City and New Castle.

We have exciting news. Amy will now be teaching her Hypnobabies series at the new location of A Mother’s Boutique Hypnobabies class info can be found here.

She will also be offering two prenatal breastfeeding classes there as well. Information about the Breastfeeding Classes and how to register can be found here.

We will be holding our nest Meet the Doulas Event on Friday May 31st from 6:30-8 at Shining Light Prenatal Education. Attendance is free and registration while not required is preferred so we have an idea how many to expect. Register here.

Jenica is now available to do postpartum doula work and is also available to do private childbirth education classes with you in your home. If your schedule makes it hard to attend other classes this is a perfect option for you.

We have also added a few more doulas to our group. Jody Milholland is an experienced doula and Bradley Childbirth Instructor. Sharon Rank and Katherine Stains are both newer doulas and are located in the Indiana, Pa area. Natalie Gawaldo is also a newer doula and it located in the airport area. All four are available to take clients now. You can read their bios on the About Us page.

We have also now added Placenta Encapsulation Services. We’re so excited to have Emily Murphy joining us as our placenta encapsulation provider. Please check out her bio on our About Us page and the information about Placenta Encapsulation here.

Amy was featured a few years ago in a Butler Eagle article about her recent Operation Special Delivery birth.

Operation Special Delivery is a volunteer-
based nonprofit organization that provides doulas to pregnant women whose husbands or partners have been injured or killed in action or are
deployed in the military.
