After the Stork | 2026 LOVE Award Winner – Best Postpartum Doula
Description
After the Stork has been the premier postpartum agency of Philadelphia, the Main Line, New Jersey and Bucks County since 2006. They provide day and overnight newborn care for a calm, restful transition to parenthood.
Postpartum Care
After the Stork’s doulas are trained by a nationally recognized postpartum organization such as DONA, CAPPA, Birth Arts International etc. and they offer one thing: postpartum care. The postpartum period is their specialty and all of their energy is put towards supporting your new family once your baby has arrived. They love to empower you as a parent; to boost your knowledge and confidence by teaching you evidence-based methods of caring for, and comforting, your precious newborn.
Support Services
After the Stork offers support with breastfeeding, developing a flexible routine, and learning to read your baby’s cues and needs. Most of all, they’ll help you to just relax and enjoy your special new arrival! They will tidy your house, organize your nursery, and be available to answer your questions as they arise. Since nighttime can be a challenging time for new parents, many of their clients request support during the overnight hours.
Sleep
After the Stork is strongly committed to their clients, which is why Georgette has taken the intensive “Gentle Sleep Coach” training course. She saw the need to learn as much as she could about infant sleep and how to encourage great sleep habits, and she is available to all of her clients to guide and troubleshoot through sleep issues at no additional charge. Their goal is a great night of sleep for your entire family, and we want to get your baby sleeping through the night as soon as possible. They aim to work ourselves right out of the job!

“After the Stork has made our transition from expecting to parenthood an absolute delight. One always hears from other parents how difficult the first few weeks are and I can safely say that ours has been amazingly easy. After the Stork’s Doula’s have helped us both in nights and days and offer a diverse set of experiences (and teamwork) to help our little one adjust. For the first few weeks our new baby was fussy and struggled with latching but the expertise of Danielle, April, Marlena, and Theresa (to name a few) have really been there to help my wife and I adjust and find the best ways to calm him and get him feeding. Another aspect I was very impressed by was that they are coaching us not only for the day but for what we need in the future. They were ready for advice on things we may still need, techniques to help with sleeping, eating etc. or questions that the doctor was too busy (or we were too overwhelmed to ask about). That is nothing to say of sleep. Can I just talk about sleep? The care given to getting our little one to settle and to let us get much needed rest is miraculous. We are so grateful that we have found a great team that we trust to help us through this transition period and cannot recommend them enough.
I cannot recommend them enough.”

Our family can not say enough wonderful things about the After the Stork Team. They are flexible yet reliable. Our baby came 6 weeks early (schedule change) but then stayed in the NICU for 5 weeks (schedule change) and they were so helpful and accommodating the entire process with their office staff staying in communication with us during a very stressful and unknown time. Once we arrived home we couldn’t have asked for better Doulas in Marlena and Kathy. With our daughter just coming home from the NICU having them here gave us such peace of mind through the night. Which we very much needed. They feel like part of our family…especially to our dog who thinks they come see him each night. Having their help has been a complete game changer. I’m enjoying every day of the newborn phase as I wake up each day not feeling depleted before the day starts. My husband works in medicine and is not able to help in the middle of the night and then operate the next day so this has been a tremendous blessing for our family. Our daughter is doing so well we hate to outgrown them soon…but rest assured they will be invited to her first birthday next year. We LOVE after the stork and highly recommend them to anyone considering their services.

Working with the doulas at After the Stork was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone in the area looking to get post partum care in the area. My husband and I just rave about the service and the time that we had to help me recover, and give my husband the sleep he needed to effectively manage our two year old as well as juggle work. The help was invaluable.
