I’m so thankful we had Abby as our doula for our first pregnancy, especially since we had twins! Her reliance upon the Lord and knowledge and also emotional support made all the difference in our pregnancy and labor and delivery journey and also my recovery and our transition after! She did such a good job empowering my husband as well. I also appreciate that she provided food for me after the delivery, and afterward, she sent us our birth story from her perspective and also photos she’d taken during labor and delivery. If she hadn’t taken them, I wouldn’t have any photos of that special, sacred time! I highly recommend her services! You won’t regret it!

Nyamuoch Miak Birth & Postpartum Doula My name is Nyamuoch Miak, and I own Mama Seed Doula, LLC. I serve the Johnson County, Cedar Rapids, and William Burge area. I am married and blessed with four beautiful children. I have over ten years of experience working with children in school and childcare settings. I am drawn to birth work because of my passion for assisting birth parents and my love for newborns. I enjoy educating, supporting, connecting, and learning from parents and their newborns as they discover each other's needs and wants. I put birthing parents at the center of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I listen and provide the physical, emotional, and educational support parents need to navigate the transition into parenthood confidently. I aim to give birthing parents and their families my undivided attention and the knowledge they need to make informed decisions unique to them. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, teaching my native language to my children, crocheting, and volunteering at our local church. My husband and I share a happy, busy life with our family and friends, and I love sharing our Sudanese cuisine with everyone!

We were incredibly lucky to have Nyamuoch for six weeks of postpartum night visits, and I can confidently say we could not have gotten through that time without her. As a second-time parent, I knew how challenging the postpartum period could be, which made Nyamuoch’s ability to put me completely at ease from our very first conversation especially meaningful. While I initially wondered how it would feel having someone in our home at night, her calm, reassuring presence immediately made me feel safe and supported, and I trusted her completely with my son, which is something I do not say lightly. Because of her, I got the most restful and restorative sleep I had postpartum, knowing my son was being cared for with such attentiveness, gentleness, and skill. She has an extraordinary way with babies and seemed to instinctively know exactly what he needed. Beyond that, she is a true wealth of knowledge, always offering thoughtful guidance, reassurance, and practical tips. She was also consistently reliable, thoughtful, and deeply professional in every interaction. Her care didn’t just help at night. It allowed me to show up as a better, more present parent during the day for my toddler. The difference that made for our entire family truly cannot be overstated. What stood out most was how deeply she cared, not just for our baby but for me as well. Even during a vulnerable and emotional time, she brought so much warmth and lightness. We shared so many laughs, and I genuinely looked forward to every visit with her. Nyamuoch played a huge role in making our second postpartum experience beautiful. Our family is better for having had her during that time, and I am endlessly grateful for her. I could not recommend her more highly.

When you think of Sam the first thing you think of is support, encouragement, and loyalty. I was 18 when Sam came into my life with a 2 month daughter. Having a child young is one thing but having a child with an unsupportive father is another. Sam barely knew me but quickly became my rock during this time. She was physically supportive in helping care for my daughter while at work to help ease my mind of the stress that comes along with trusting people with your child. She was also the mental support I have never experienced from anyone else in life. In hard dark days I could call Sam and she would remind me that I am a great mother. I am giving my daughter everything she needs. That I am EXACTLY what she needs. Being 18 barely making enough to support myself let alone a child had depression knocking at my door. Sam was so encouraging. Not only with word but with actions. Hapy times she was there to share as well. Whether it was taking the candid photos, doing what she could to take the stress so I can experience, or being the one to encourage creating the memories. I say this with my whole being I truly don’t think I would be the person or mother I am without her in my life. I probably would have stay in the toxic situation and mind set had it not been for her. To this day almost 16 years later still reminds me that I am a great mother and that my daughter is who she is because of me. She is a blessing that I would never take for granted. A person that you secretly want to keep for yourself but you know everyone needs a piece of.

Annette Yen served as a doula for both of my pregnancies. She had several conversations with me leading up to labor and delivery to understand my medical history, the nature of my pregnancies, and any fears or concerns I had along the way. Annette was able to provide me with encouragement as well as practical support through resources and studies on questions I had. My youngest daughter flipped between breech and cephalic positions several times to where she was breech the week leading up to her due date. Annette provided me with much needed encouragement during this stressful time. She also did exercises with me, provided me with guidance and resources, and lent me tools to help with getting baby to turn. I am happy to say that my baby had flipped just in time for delivery!! Once I called Annette to tell her I was heading in to the hospital, she dropped everything and was promptly in the labor and delivery room with me. During labor, she guided my husband and mom in ways to assist me in pain management and she empowered me to listen to my instincts. Annette also made sure my wishes for delayed cord cutting and immediate skin-to-skin time were carried out which allowed me and my family to fully embrace the moment of our daughter’s birth. Annette is a wonderful, caring person with an excellent bedside manner and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a doula.

I'm writing this 14 months removed from having Jenny as my doula. I think about the trauma of my birth experience often which means thinking about Jenny often. Her strong advocacy of my needs, her unwavering support, and her creative techniques got me through the most scary yet most beautiful experience of my life. She is an incredible mother herself and supports other mothers with sage wisdom and tenderness. She will tell a nurse to back off if they overstep when she sees you are too vulnerable. She will talk you through making difficult choices with a measured firm love that only very special people can execute. I look at my son and know that we are both still here because of 3 things; 1. Several fiercely dedicated nurses 2. Whatever divinity exists that was looking out for my son and I 3. Jenny. The love for my son goes hand in hand with my love and appreciation for Jenny.
