About me

May 22nd, 2008

I’m Teresa Bailey. I am a doula in Pittsburgh. I am certified by DONA International. I live in Beechview, a neighborhood in the city of Pittsburgh. I have been practicing as a birth doula since 1999. I am DONA trained, which included instruction in the use of: birth balls, different labor positions, relaxation techniques and the emotional support of laboring women. I work with “Heart & HandsSM Doula Service. I assist in new doula training. I am a leader in La Leche League International.

I teach individually and in small classes about breastfeeding and birth. I also speak on those topics at La Leche League conferences. I am co-writing a book about birth with Jan Mallak, coordinator of “Heart & HandsSM doula service.

I also do blessing way consulting and belly casting. I am the mother of a beautiful boy, Simon, born March 20th, 2001. I had a doula assist with my own birth! I look forward to helping make your labor a beautiful experience to remember.
