About Me
My name is A’Lena Wise. I am a Midwest girl at heart but I’ve spent most of my life residing in Philadelphia, PA, “The City of Brotherly Love”. I graduated from Temple University, School of Tourism and Hospitality Management in 2014. I am a Wife and a Mother of two beautiful children Aspen & A’ Zaria. I have been doing Doula work for about 3 years. I have taken classes with Debra Pascali-Bonaro and Chanel L. Porchia-Albert (Ancient Song). I have also had two un-medicated natural childbirths. I have a deep passion for births, mothers and families. I am here to provide resources, support, understanding and wisdom to families. I am spiritual and this may or may not be a part of my service to you.
My Birth Philosophy, Why Doula?
Doula-ing: The act of educating, loving, respecting, listening, embracing, advocating for and assisting a woman (family) prenatally during labor, childbirth, and after. My goal is to make the client be educated, empowered and prepared for birth with a JOYUS mindset. My philosophy is YOUR BODY, YOUR BIRTH, and YOUR WAY! I am here to support you during your entire pregnancy and beyond once connected. I will set the tone for your birth in a way that will be soothing, relaxing and fun!
“For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I promise you, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.”
–PSALM 139:13, BIBLE
