Meet Our Doulas
Amanda Sands
Owner/Found, Postpartum Doula (Daytime)
I’m the owner of Mama Love Doula, LLC and a certified postpartum doula. I’m so happy you’re considering us for your postpartum support. I received my postpartum doula certification from Birth Arts International in February 2024 and have been blessed to support many wonderful families since then.
I live in Pennsburg, PA with my three amazing children, ages 13, 11, and 7 — and our three adorable cats. I am a certified Elementary Teacher and spent 10 years as a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my children. I have also spent over six years working as both a nanny and night nanny, caring for children and supporting families during those early, transitional stages of life. In addition to my professional experience, I bring over 13 years of hands-on experience as a mother, along with five years of personal breastfeeding experience.
I deeply believe in nurturing the special bond between a mother and her baby, especially in those first days and weeks after birth. Supporting families during this time is not just my work—it’s something I truly love.
To me, mothers are the heart of the home. When moms are supported, everything else flows. With the help of a postpartum doula, mothers can rest and heal from childbirth, enjoy nourishing meals without the stress of preparing them, and focus on bonding with their baby—without worrying about cleaning or endless laundry. I believe that when mothers receive this kind of care, they don’t just get through postpartum—they truly thrive.
In my spare time, you can find me spending time with my kids, snuggling with one of our three cats, listening to music, or reading a good book. I also genuinely love to clean (yes, really!), get outside for walks, practice yoga, and stay busy running my kids to all of their activities—especially during baseball season!
I would truly be honored to support you and your family during your postpartum journey ❤️

Postpartum Doula (Daytime and Overnight)
I’m a certified postpartum doula through ProDoula, and I feel incredibly grateful to support families during one of the most transformative seasons of life. Caring for mothers, babies, and growing families is work that feels deeply meaningful to me, and I truly love being a calming, supportive presence during the postpartum transition.
I bring over 20 years of experience as both a babysitter and nanny, caring for children from the newborn stage through 14 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve supported families with overnight care, twins, sick care, travel care, lactation consultant appointments, physical therapy visits, and many different parenting dynamics and developmental needs. My experience has taught me that every family is unique, and I strive to provide support that is compassionate, adaptable, and judgment-free.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Lifestyle Nutrition from West Chester University and also studied as a Health and Wellness Professional at Montgomery County Community College. Much of my education and personal research has focused on maternal wellness, postpartum depletion, hormone support, and the role nutrition plays in recovery and postpartum mental health. I’m passionate about helping mothers nourish themselves in ways that support healing, energy, and emotional well-being during the postpartum period.
In addition to being CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, I hold a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certification, which complements my background in lifestyle nutrition and reinforces my knowledge of safe food handling and nutrition-centered care for families. I currently participate in a Postpartum Moms Support Group through Rising Sun Therapy in Harleysville, where I offer nutrition-focused support and guidance for postpartum mothers.
Families often describe me as nurturing, playful, knowledgable, experienced, confident and thoughtful. I take a food-first, holistic approach to postpartum support and love sharing knowledge with parents in a way that feels empowering and approachable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, supportive environment where parents feel safe asking questions, resting, healing, and bonding with their baby.
Outside of doula work, I enjoy continuing my education in maternal wellness and nutrition, spending time hiking, enjoying the company of friends, pursuing creative projects, and finding meaningful ways to support mothers in my community.
I would be honored to support your family during your postpartum journey.
Grace Kovitch
Postpartum Doula (Daytime and Overnight)
I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula, CPR and NRP certified, and also trained in infant craniosacral therapy. I’m currently enrolled in a lactation specialist program through the DNT Network and am excited to continue expanding my knowledge so I can better support the families I work with.
I’ve always loved learning and being able to bring new skills and insight into my work as a doula.
I began my journey as a birth doula and quickly fell in love with it—but I also noticed something important: support often fades once the baby arrives. Too often, mothers are overlooked during the postpartum period. That’s why I do what I do—to mother the mother.
I’m deeply passionate about helping moms feel supported, cared for, and truly seen. I believe every happy home begins with a well-supported mother. I’ve been a postpartum doula for two years now, and I’ve loved every second of it. There’s nothing more rewarding than nurturing the mother-baby bond and helping families transition into this new chapter of life.
A few fun facts about me:
• I’m one of seven children and have seven nieces and nephews—I can’t wait to have a family of my own someday!
• I love hiking, weightlifting, and practicing Muay Thai
