BirthMark's Founder

Jacqueline Kelleher, BirthMark's founder, has been supporting growing families in our community since 1996 as a doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor, doula trainer/mentor, and community volunteer. She has served as the Pennsylvania representative for Postpartum Support International, as well the Director of Postpartum Services for DONA International. In addition, she is the author of Nurturing The Family. She is certified by DONA International as both a birth and postpartum doula, and is a DONA International approved doula trainer. She is a certified lactation counselor and is trained in the Neonatal Behavioral Observation System through the Brazelton Institute. She has taught extensively both within and outside of the US and continually strives to improve her knowledge through ongoing education.

Years of supporting families in the community have given her an excellent knowledge of the challenges faced by new parents and a drive to fill the gaps that they so often face. She is the mother of three teenagers and two year old James, who helps his mom and dad in the store.
