Certified Lactation Counselor, Stillbirthday Birth & Bereavement Doula The strength of the woman's mind and body amazes me. My passion is empowering women, allowing their strengths to shine, and supporting their needs while counseling them through their desired journey. ​ Growing, birthing, and sustaining a tiny human is hard work! Maybe you are a first-time mom hoping to learn the best birth or breastfeeding techniques. Or perhaps, you already have children and need support and ideas to get you through the next hurdle. Each journey is unique and has various twists and turns, many of which I have observed or experienced firsthand. I can provide you with the empowerment, support, and the guidance you need in these very cherished moments. As a mom, I understand these worries and questions. I was once in your shoes. I was the mom hoping for a birth experience that was different from my first, one that allowed my voice to be heard, and to be informed in my choices. I was the mom who struggled to nurse my new baby each day due to a painful latch, worried it wouldn't improve. These struggles became passion. I educated myself and became a doula and lactation counselor, which has allowed me to proactively support other moms on their journey.

I am a graduate of International Doula Institute and a fully trained and certified Birth and Postpartum doula serving the Madison, WI area. I am also trained to provide instruction in lactation services, childbirth education, parenting classes and new baby care instruction. I am reasonably priced and offer several packages!

My passion is helping mothers find their own, unique path into motherhood, while keeping the roots of who they are. I enjoy helping mothers feel confident with breastfeeding, however that may look for them: latching baby at breast, exclusively pumping, combo feeding, supplementing formula, etc - or even helping them realize they are an amazing mother even when they can’t, or don’t want to breastfeed any longer. It takes a village, they say. I’d love to be a part of yours.

Hi everyone! I'm Angel, a wife, mom of four, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), trained full-spectrum doula, and maternal-child health educator. I'm passionate about walking alongside families as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, infant feeding, and the transition into parenthood. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports not only your baby's needs, but yours as well. My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and confident in the decisions you make for your family. As a mom of four, I know firsthand that pregnancy, feeding, recovery, and life with a new baby can be beautiful but it can also be exhausting, emotional, confusing, and sometimes incredibly lonely. So often, parents are surrounded by advice while still feeling like no one is truly caring for them. That's why I'm so passionate about this work. Whether I'm helping with feeding challenges, caring for your baby while you shower or rest, answering newborn questions, or simply offering reassurance during a difficult day, my hope is that every family I work with feels a little more cared for, a little more confident, and a lot less alone.

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!
