Hi! I’m Regan, a night nanny and postpartum care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience in infant care, live-in and travel nannying, and in-home daycare management. I specialize in overnight newborn care, offering calm, consistent support so families can get the rest they need while knowing their baby is safe and well cared for. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and hold certifications in Safe Sleep, SIDS/Shaken Baby Syndrome prevention, Water Safety, and Car Seat Safety. I’m also fully vaccinated and currently completing my degree in Early Childhood Education. My approach is rooted in responsive, respectful care that adapts to your family’s unique needs. Whether you’re looking for gentle sleep support, help with feeding routines, or just peace of mind through the night, I prioritize safe sleep practices, evidence-based newborn care, and clear communication. I work closely with parents to build confidence in those early weeks and help establish healthy nighttime rhythms from the start.

If you’re questioning whether you really need a newborn care specialist, or wondering if it’s even worth it, just give Regan a chance. She’s so flexible and warm—She will blow you away. From the very first night, we could tell she knew exactly what she was doing, and that alone was such a relief. She came in and everything felt calmer, the whole house! There was finally some kind of rhythm when in the beginning it can feel like absolute uncertainty every day. we could actually breathe and sleep again, we felt a little more like us. We don’t know how we would’ve gotten through those early weeks without her!!!

Nice to meet you! I’m Alyssa. I’m a boy mama x 2. After having two very different birth experiences, I’m passionate about supporting and educating parents leading up to birth and beyond. With a long induction + c-section birth and also a non-medicated VBAC under my belt, I feel well equipped to support all moms. I love to integrate a holistic approach to birth work, but I also appreciate modern medicine when truly needed. Every mom has their wants and needs when envisioning the birth that they desire, and I love helping them get from where they are to where they want to be. I value breastfeeding and postpartum wellness as well and love to help moms troubleshoot or problem solve when needed. The saying “it takes a village” holds a special place with me as I often feel pulled to be that village for fellow mamas. I strive to make other moms feel appreciated, supported, informed, and confident in their God-given abilities! I live in the Indianapolis area with my husband + our two boys. I love mom hangs, adventuring with my fam, being my kids biggest cheerleader + checking out new local food and coffee spots with my husband.

Alyssa was my doula for the birth of my 3rd child. I know that because of her, I had a beautiful, natural, physiological birth. I did not have a doula for the births of my first 2 children but after having her be such a vital part of my birth team, I wish I had invested in a doula for them. The birth of my 1st child was long and difficult, and I can confidently say that if Alyssa had been there, it would have been completely different. She is kind, incredibly generous, loves the Lord, and has a calming presence that makes her a perfect doula for someone like me. I have a lot of anxiety and do better when I have someone who is both gentle and firm. Alyssa became a part of my pregnancy journey around 18 weeks along. I was able to talk about my previous births, my indecision about where to give birth, and the difficulties I had experienced with secondary infertility. I had an initial consultation and 2 prenatal appointments with her in person where she was so attentive and wonderful about helping my husband and me to think through what I wanted my birthing time to look like. She was also available by phone and text, and I appreciated so much how often she checked in with me (and reminded me that I couldn't over communicate with her). A very big reason I decided to pursue a birthing center birth where I knew I wouldn't be able to have an epidural (I'm definitely not great with pain and had epidurals with my first 2) was because of her encouragement and also her suggestion to pursue using Hypnobabies. I was skeptical that Hypnobabies would work for me, but I'm so thankful I worked through and completed the course. Not only was the hypnosis vital to my 3rd's amazing birth, but the Hypnobabies materials reinforced what I already knew, as well as taught me new things that gave me confidence I was definitely lacking in previous births. Alyssa is such a wealth of information. I felt very safe going to her with my questions, concerns, and even my frustrations. She was fabulous at reminding me of God's sovereignty, His perfect timing, and that she was praying for me. During my actual birthing time, Alyssa was a strong, calming presence that involved herself when she needed to and also let me work through the different stages of labor. I was so thankful for her constant reminder to relax my face (the idea being that a relaxed face is a relaxed uterus), and how she kept me on target from one stage to the next. She helped me try different positions (one even included a nap) and got me setup to be able to enter the birthing tub just when I needed it most. I had a water birth, something I had always wanted to have! She kept me on course with my Hypnobabies tracks to keep my focus where it needed to be. I'm so thankful for everything Alyssa did for me during pregnancy, my birthing time, and also after birth and in the weeks following birth. She is a fantastic doula and an amazing person. I highly recommend her and am so happy to do so.

Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am a full-time doula proudly serving families throughout Indiana and surrounding communities. Born and raised in Indianapolis, I am also a mother of four beautiful children who have inspired my passion for birth work and maternal support. My journey to becoming a doula was deeply personal. After experiencing trauma during three of my own births, I realized how important compassionate, informed, and empowering support truly is during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I chose to turn my pain into purpose by helping other mothers feel seen, heard, educated, and supported throughout their birthing journey. As a doula, my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering experience for every family I serve. I believe every mother deserves respectful care, emotional support, and an advocate by her side. Through my work, I strive to transform trauma into healing and blessings by giving back to the community and supporting families during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Having kayla as my doula has truly been one of the best decisions during my pregnancy journey. She has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive, and caring every single step of the way. During such an emotional and important time in my life, she has made me feel genuinely cared for, heard, and at peace. One thing I appreciate most is how she never tries to overshadow my wants or opinions. She always makes my choices, comfort, and birth preferences the priority while still guiding and educating me with so much patience and compassion. That balance is so important when choosing a doula, and she does it beautifully. Kayla presence alone brings reassurance, comfort, and confidence, and I truly cannot imagine going through this journey without her support. I would recommend her to any expecting mother looking for someone who will advocate for them, support them, and truly care from the heart. 💕
