Hello, I'm Rebecca, and I have nurtured and helped children aged six weeks through school-age succeed in learning for the past 20+ years. While working with infants exclusively for the past 15 years, I have found my passion. After raising two children, I am following my dream of caring for infants, newborns, and their parents. I have been helping parents with their newborns for over a year now and I love it! I'm also passionate about helping parents successfully return to work while breastfeeding. As a result, I created and implemented a training for daycare teachers entitled “Supporting Breastfeeding Parents in a Daycare Setting.” I believe empowering parents to be their child’s first teacher is essential for keeping children happy and healthy. I am a trained Newborn Care Specialist and a Postpartum Doula. I have taken a “Lactation for Doulas” class, a sleep conditioning class, and have attended a training on perinatal mood disorders. I look forward to supporting parents and other family members as they care for their new charges. Outside of work, I am a published author, and I enjoy writing about everything from infant care to Science Fiction. I love reading and have an extensive library of children’s books.

At Stateline Birth Keepers, our goal is to support and empower families through life's most transformative experiences. Founded in 2024, we combine our unique experiences and expertise to provide compassionate, personalized care. We recognize that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are deeply personal and emotional journeys, not just medical events. By pooling our skills, we offer holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional, and informational needs of the families we serve in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. My journey into birth work began in 2015 when I was supported during my son's birth by a doula. Inspired, I pursued certification and have since worked with diverse families in various settings across four states. As a mom of two earth side kids, one angel baby, I have personal experience with breastfeeding, cloth diapering, babywearing, and baby-led weaning. My son was born in a hospital with a failed epidural, and my daughter had a dramatic, unassisted yet absolutely beautiful home birth. Passionate about self care, my specialty and focus space is overnight newborn care support. I work with non-traditional families, and assist with trauma healing, I support single parents, LGBTQIA+, many different families with a variety of spiritual beliefs, supporting families through pregnancy losses, terminal diagnoses, stillbirths, and chosen losses. An adoptee myself, I also support adoption processes. Outside of Stateline Birth Keepers, I advocate for local foster youth, coach youth sports, and engage in the public educational system. I enjoy outdoor activities like camping, hiking, and paddle boarding, and I also enjoy crafting and thrifting during colder weather. Life’s an adventure, and I embrace every moment with a big smile and an open heart. I look forward to being a part of your unique and beautiful journey.

Every childbearing person deserves to feel supported, prepared, and unafraid as they navigate the wonders of pregnancy and childbirth. I’m both passionate and absolutely fascinated by this right of passage, and it is my highest privilege to guide others within their own birth stories. I became interested in childbirth education and birthwork when I was pregnant with our first baby. My partner and I attended a Bradley Method course kind of as a fluke, and it was life-changing. I did not realize how much I did not know! In addition to completing the Bradley Method course and experiencing the birth of my two children, I have worked in child and infant care for many years, including private nanny services, NatureSense Childcare Center, and The Madison Isthmus Montesorri Nedo (or nursery). I completed my Full Spectrum Doula Training, including prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum care, as well as training in fetal positioning and lactation support with Cornerstone Birthwork Training, and am certified in Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid through the Red Cross. I specialize in whole-food nutrition and dietary considerations for those with autoimmune disease and chronic illness. I live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Crohn’s Disease and have been developing and collecting recipes and home remedies for over 10 years! I’m an expert swaddler, baby bather, sleep wrangler, lullaby lilter, routine guru, space optimizing organizer, Story reader, and love to color and play Legos with kid siblings.

Hello, my name is Krissy Olson and I am a birth and postpartum doula serving the western Illinois region of Knox, Mercer, Henderson, Warren, Henry and Rock Island Counties. I believe birth is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and every person deserves to feel informed, respected, supported, and empowered throughout the journey into parenthood. As a birth and postpartum doula, I offer compassionate, nonjudgmental support that centers you, your baby, and your unique vision for this experience. I believe there Iis no single “right” way to give birth or become a parent. Whether your birth unfolds at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital; whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, choosing an epidural, or having a planned or unplanned cesarean—I am here to support you without judgment. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to help you feel confident making your own. I provide evidence-informed education, emotional reassurance, physical comfort measures, practical guidance, and a steady presence when things feel uncertain or overwhelming. I believe that informed consent and bodily autonomy are essential, and I encourage families to ask questions, understand their options, and advocate for the care that feels right for them. Birth is only the beginning. Postpartum is a profound transition that deserves just as much care and attention. I support families as they navigate recovery, feeding, sleep, newborn care, shifting relationships, and the emotional changes that come with becoming a parent. My goal is to help you feel cared for while you learn to care for your baby. At the heart of my practice is the belief that you already carry so much wisdom within you. I am not there to tell you what your birth or postpartum experience should look like. I am there to listen, educate, encourage, comfort, and remind you that you don't have to navigate it alone. My doula philosophy is simple: you deserve compassionate care, honest information, respect for your choices, and someone in your corner from pregnancy through those tender first days of parenthood.
