Dana gulutz, owner and certified Birth & Postpartum Doula

I am a mom & wife local to the Greater Philadelphia region. My husband & I have three beautiful daughters Earthside and two beautiful babies in Heaven. My passion has always been caring for women and babies. After having my oldest daughter as a teen, I became interested in childbirth & postpartum care. I researched for years on how I could turn my excitement for this field into something long-lasting. Which led me to get certified as a Birth & Postpartum Doula. As a doula, I was fulfilling my God-given destiny: helping families adapt to their new addition(s).

A paramount point in my life was experiencing losing our babies. My husband & I experienced two losses in our marriage - one being a miscarriage, and one being a full-term twin loss. I include this part of my life to explain the reason why I do this work. During our losses, without sustainable meals and loving support from our friends and family, my husband & I may not have made it through. In that, we had the idea to create a service that takes care of the postpartum cooking while also taking care of the body: through pregnancy and thereafter. 

As a birth and postpartum doula, I have seen firsthand the need for women supporting women, and families supporting families. I have supported single moms, single dads, intended parents, surrogates, twin families, loss families, and so much more! My experience as a surrogate, a loss mom, and a mother has equipped me with helpful experiences and an empathetic heart. 

I am excited to start this healing journey with you and your family, and I hope to be an immense support in the weeks before and following the birth of your new baby.
