Good Day! My name is Lena "Lady L." Dickerson. I am a full-spectrum doula, social work professional, and community advocate serving Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Joyful Services is a Biblical-based organization, and my work is rooted in my faith in Jesus Christ. This foundation guides how I serve individuals and families through compassion, integrity, advocacy, excellence, and genuine care. I provide prenatal, birth, postpartum, bereavement, and end-of-life support, along with education, resource connection, and family-centered guidance. My goal is to help individuals and families feel informed, empowered, supported, and cared for as they navigate life's most meaningful transitions.

With over a decade of experience supporting families, I’ve seen firsthand the joys and challenges of breastfeeding/chestfeeding; including the unique journey of induced lactation. My mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence you need to reach your feeding goals no matter where you are in your journey. Why I Do This Work: Infant feeding is one of the most personal and impactful experiences a parent can have, and that includes parents who are nurturing babies through induced lactation, adoption, surrogacy, or as a non-gestational parent. But it’s not always easy, and too often, families are left feeling overwhelmed or unsupported; especially when their journey doesn’t look “typical”. That’s why I created LatchLine: to make expert, compassionate, and inclusive lactation support accessible to all families, no matter where they live or what challenges they face.

Hi, I’m England, founder of Womb + Root Wellness. 🌿 I’m a mother of three, full spectrum doula, lactation consultant, herbalist, and Reiki Master. My journey into birth work started long before I became a mother. I found myself naturally supporting and advocating for other mothers, while also navigating my own reproductive health journey. For years, I struggled with endometriosis without a diagnosis. As a Black woman, I experienced firsthand what it feels like to have your pain dismissed, your health overlooked, and your voice unheard within the healthcare system. I also watched the women closest to me including my mother and sister experience traumatic births and a lack of the care, information, and respect for autonomy they deserved. When I became pregnant and had my own children, I became my own doula. I learned how powerful it is to understand your body, know your rights, trust your intuition, and have someone in your corner. Those experiences became my purpose. I created Womb + Root Wellness to be part of the change—especially within Black and Brown birthing communities. My work is rooted in education, advocacy, holistic care, nourishment, and empowerment, helping mothers feel informed, respected, supported, and heard throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Your body. Your birth. Your voice. Your autonomy. 🤎🌿

All inclusive birth and post partum doula specialized with African American birthers.

Hello! I'm Aubrey and I am a Birth Doula serving greater chicagoland! My interest in birth has been a consistent theme throughout my life. Long before starting my own family, I found myself asking every little detail of the birth stories shared by friends and family. However, my true passion for the subject emerged during my own pregnancy and through the birth of my daughter. It was then that I dove into a myriad of birth resources, podcasts, and books, which is a habit that continues to this day! As a firm believer in the power of education, I advocate for individuals to approach their birthing experiences with confidence, armed with knowledge. This philosophy led me to pursue a career as a doula, where I can actively support and empower others during their own amazing journeys!

By forging strong relationships with all members of your birth team, I center care around you in a collaborative and compassionate way. Packages Offered I offer a range of packages to suit your needs, from "Just the Birth" for those seeking support during labor to "Comprehensive Birth" for those wanting extensive prenatal, birth, and postpartum support. Additionally, my "Everything But the Birth" education package provides thorough prenatal and postpartum education without labor support. Each package includes personalized care, access to evidence-based resources, and continuous support to ensure you feel empowered and confident throughout your journey. I would love to connect with you to see if I would be a good fit for your birth team. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation.

I am alex (they/them) a Full Spectrum Doula based in Oak Park. I realized i wanted to be a doula after the birth of my first child. I learned the words "doula" and "midwife" for the first time while reading one of the many pregnancy books i stumbled across at a thrift store. Because of this book, i learned what birth (and parenting!) could look like with autonomy and empowerment. I knew i had to help make this support accessible to more people. I have taken multiple doula trainings and have acquired a wide range of skills. It is important to me that i continue to learn and practice ways to be an inclusive reproductive specialist, supporting all pregnant, birthing and lactating people throughout their journey. - Madriella Doula Training - Daisy CHAIN Full Spectrum Doula Certified - The Matrona Holistic Doula Certified - Community Doula Project Birth Doula Certified - LER Certified Lactation Specialist I am a Full Spectrum Doula and i am passionate about being present for folks through their postpartum experience; whenever and however their pregnancy may end. I believe all people deserve non-judgemental, compassionate support centered around their individual needs.
