Adriane Thomas (she/her)
Adriane Thomas (she/her) is a postpartum doula who supports families in the critical time after a
birth. She was inspired to become a postpartum doula by her own experience postpartum and
as a new parent. She brings empathy, non-judgemental support and humor to every situation.
Adriane centers the parent’s needs, encourages rest and aims to build confidence and reduce
isolation. She believes rest, support and community are essential to the life-changing journey of
becoming a parent.
Adriane understands the range of feelings and stressors that early parenthood brings and how
needs may shift from day-to-day or hour-by-hour. Adriane works with parents to create a system
that works for their needs in this nebulous period.
Adriane is also the owner of Baby Gear Group Jenkintown, a gear and toy library and
community space. It further allows her to address the culture of overconsumption and
individualism in parenting by building community and resource networks and offering
sustainable options to support families.
Adriane loves connecting families with community resources and peer support. She hosts
regular new parent meetups, toddler playgroups and baby and toddler clothing swaps. These
events give parents the opportunity to learn from each other, give and support one another,
encourage sustainable parenting practices and normalize the joys and struggles of parenthood.
Adriane is a native Philadelphian and moved back to the area after 11 years in Baltimore. She
has a Master’s Degree in Social Work from University of Maryland Baltimore and 15 years
experience as a social worker, community organizer, researcher and project manager for
programs with individuals, families, schools and communities in Philadelphia and Baltimore.

dressing, sustainable living, exploring new coffee shops and spontaneous dance parties with
her son.
