Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Bismarck, ND

Throughout my pregnancy, Theresa helped me work through many fears and approach birth from a place of confidence rather than fear. She has a gentle, calm presence and genuinely empowers women to make informed decisions that align with their own values. She doesn’t fear-monger, she educates, supports, and encourages. Theresa was with my husband and I every moment during active labor, coaching me to relax and breathe through contractions and encouraging me. I ultimately had a C-section, which was not the birth I had envisioned, but Theresa continued to support us at the hospital and in the days afterward. She helped me process my experience and emotions and reminded me that I had done something incredibly hard and meaningful. What I appreciate most is that Theresa doesn’t just teach empowerment—she embodies it in the way she supports women. I’m incredibly grateful to have had her beside us throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Theresa was our doula for the birth of our daughter. We also did her birth classes and learned so much! She is so knowledgeable and was a huge part of helping us have an amazing birth experience! I would 100% recommend having her at your birth!

My husband and I feel so incredibly grateful to have Theresa as our doula. It felt like perfect timing when we found her. We were also able to take her birth course, which we looked forward to every week. Not only did we gain so much information, but it brought us closer together and gave us a level of confidence we didn’t have before. And being around other couples going through the same thing made the experience even more special. Theresa was such a calm presence throughout it all. She helped us feel prepared every step of the way. My labor was long and there were times that I wasn’t sure if I could do it, but Theresa helped ground me and reminded me to trust my body, my baby and myself. The breathing guidance and encouragement through every contraction made such a difference. She also supported my husband in such a meaningful way and helped him feel so confident in supporting me, which meant so much to both of us. When our son was born she captured the beautiful moments that we will cherish. Theresa was such a blessing to our birth story, I look back feeling strong, supported and proud. We will always be thankful of the care poured into us. ❤️
