Cieara Jake - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Cieara

Cieara Jake offers Doula services to all, who are in need of fertility, prenatal, birth, postpartum and infant feeding and loss support. As a Full-Spectrum Doula I am very passionate about providing heartfelt emotional, physical, mental and informational support to persons on their journey. My mission is to create an environment of advocacy, so those who may not believe they have a voice, will be heard. I want all my clients to know that they are worthy of respect and dignity. And their hopes and dreams surrounding their birth experience, matters. Within my practice I will help my clients identify their inner strength of bringing forth the miracle of life. From the moment of conception to the moment of seeing and holding their baby for the first time. With my intriguing interest in the impeccable work of Doulas and the difference they make in our communities has geared my drive. My passion is to strive towards making a difference in my community and offer services that will transform lives that may not have support or access to resources due to social and economical inequalities. I want to make a difference in my community that represents Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) especially, women. Within these particular communities there is an alarming and increased rate of maternal and infant mortality. Indiana faces one of the most severe maternal health crises in the nation, recording 31.4 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births—a rate among the highest in the United States, according to the March of Dimes. And also infant mortality in Indiana extends far beyond the delivery room—it measures every baby who doesn't make it to their first birthday. Each year, about 500 Hoosier families experience this devastating loss, representing a rate of 1 out of roughly every 160 babies (6.3 per 1,000 live births).Blessings From Above is determined to help decrease these rates within its communities by providing exceptional support to all during their pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum periods. When searching for services you will have the opportunity of choosing between either experiencing my Full-Spectrum Doula services, certain number of specific services or a single service package that will best meet you and your family needs. The various packages will be listed under the Doula packages tab. Blessings From Above was established in 2020. My passion of becoming a Doula started back in December of 2018 when I was a participant in Indiana’s Nurse-Family Partnership program. This program is for economically disadvantaged women who are pregnant with their first child. The program is designed to help support first-time mothers less than 28 weeks with support, advice and information. Each participant is assigned to a personal nurse which meets twice a month up until their baby turns two years of age . After completion of the program I was motivated to help support other birthing persons the way I was supported in my community. So, I began to do research about the profession of a Doula and the role they play in lives of people who are trying to conceive, pregnancy, in labor, delivery, postpartum and infant feeding and I knew in that very moment this was my calling. I knew I wanted to be apart of supporting a community of birthing persons along their journey of giving birth to a healthy baby.

I just want to say how Cieara was such an amazing Doula. Cieara came in my life right on time when I had hopes of having a doula for my labor and delivery. She gave me insight on resources and information and sent daily affirmations. Along with assisting me through those strong painful contractions with comforting measures. And even stayed the night with me during my labor what seemed like for hours. I also had a drop in my milk supply and she offered to make lactation cookies that were not only delicious but increased my supply from 2 ounces back to 3-4ounces. Thank you Cieara

I had Cieara as my doula for my first pregnancy and she was an absolute joy! She checked in with me leading up to my due date and helped ease my anxiety about delivery. When I was induced a week after my due date Cieara came to the hospital and sat with me over night and supported me when my epidural wore off and talked me through my contractions (at 3 am). Also seeing her advocate on my behalf helped me be able to advocate for myself when she wasn’t there (my labor lasted for what seemed like forever and she had to work that morning). Later that day after I gave birth and she got off work she came back up to the hospital for a few hours and sat with me and my baby and I really appreciated it. My pregnancy wasn’t the best experience but having Cieara towards the end of my pregnancy helped me so much and I’m glad I was able to have her as my doula.

Frequently asked questions

When will the service charge be due?

Half of your service package fee is due at the time of your first pre-natal visit (at week 37) and the remaining balance due (at week 38).

If my family and I believe that we would benefit from additional services could we add more services to our package?

Yes, absolutely! All I would have to do is revise our original contact and add the additional services that you and your family would like. And the fees will be recalculated.

What sets you apart from other Doulas?

I am a Doula that stands for Reproductive and Birthing Justice. Today, there are some many women, especially Black and Brown women in the maternal health care are dying from pregnancy-related complications and/or childbirth. Black women are over three times more likely of dying compared to white women. And their babies are half as likely to live to see their first birthday. Something has to change! That is why I am on this journey to break this cycle and fix the broken maternity system and empower those who believe they do not have a voice. I want every woman of color to know that they can have the type pregnancy and childbirth that they desire regardless of their race, class or gender polities, economic background. I am the type of Doula that will hold the space and stand in the gap for all birthing persons that come to me for support.
