About Kelly Lynn

The Leading Woman behind Labor Like a Boss

   

Kelly earned her Bachelor’s degree in Pharmaceutical Marketing and Biology from DeSales University in 2008. After college, she spent some time in the field, only to realize fairly quickly that it was not the career path for her. That may have been the start of her shift from Western Medicine to Holistic Health.

Kelly grew up as a dancer, from the age of 4. She was originally accepted into college for a dance program scholarship. Her love for dance transformed into a passion for fitness. For over a decade now, she has been a dance and fitness instructor. There is something to be said about the gratitude felt from being around people and helping others achieve their goals.

Kelly’s most prominent career is as a mother. She has 4 children; 2 that she carried and birthed, but all 4 that she accepts as her own. She is married and resides in Southampton, New Jersey.

Some of Kelly’s hobbies and interests include dancing, running, traveling around the world, creating her own recipes, volunteering her time in the community, and blissfully enjoying her life with her husband, children and family, who all reside close by.

Kelly’s path to becoming a doula was inspired after having her own doula for the homebirth of both of her daughters. Her experience with her doula left a lasting impression on her and her births. She felt extremely empowered by all of the knowledge and coaching she received. She realized that she wanted to be for other women what her doula was for her; Someone to acknowledge women on their options and their birth rights, empower them, provide comfort measures, and empathize with them through what should be the most beautiful experience in their life.

Kelly began reading and educating herself, as well as networking with local birth workers in her area, starting in 2012. In November of 2016, she completed her DONA International Doula Training. She has also taken several childbirth related courses, including Childbirth Education Classes, Breastfeeding Education, Creating Space Workshop, Spinning Babies Workshop with Gail Tully, professional training in the history and use of Rebozo, and has a certificate from the Institute for the Study of Birth Breath and Death. She is an active Member of DONA International and a professional member of Evidence Based Birth. She belongs to several local community and birth worker groups. She will be taking a Prenatal Yoga Training course this September, as well as seeking application acceptance to the Maternity Care Coalition in Philadelphia, a nonprofit organization.

Kelly in a sincere, easy to talk to, and compassionate friend to every stranger she meets. Her previous roles and personal background have impacted all that she applies to her birth work. She values her creativity, optimism, self-respect and meaningful work.
