Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula | Certified Childbirth Educator | Certified Lactation Specialist | Certified Placenta Specialist As a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, I provide calm, nurturing, and evidence-based support for families through pregnancy, birth, and the newborn stage. My goal is to help parents feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way. Grant + Leah 2/20/2026 "Mari was assigned to us as a replacement doula when our original doula had a conflicting delivery. Mari immediately reached out and was flexible to our needs in early labor. My wife was laboring hard in triage for 7 hours (there was a major rush at the hospital, we couldn't get a room or her planned epidural for that long) and doesn't know how she would have coped without Mari. She immediately brought a calm presence to our situation while also helping us get the situation under control and manage contractions with various techniques. Mari also helped us execute on our birth plan and encouraged us to get rest whenever possible. We would recommend Mari to anybody seeking a doula."

My name is Kelly Sijapati, and I am an experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I was certified in 2015, and I have served as a volunteer peer breastfeeding counselor since 2011.

Having been part of the lactation field for over ten years, my goal is that every new parent feels fully supported during their feeding journey. I provide care in home visits, telehealth, and office visits.

I’m Dr. Zoelle Reinke, a chiropractor and the owner of New Directions Chiropractic in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. My passion is caring for women and children, with a special focus on pregnancy, postpartum, infants, and growing families. I’m certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) in pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care, and I’m also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Having both backgrounds allows me to look at the whole picture, especially when working with moms and babies. I love being able to consider nervous system function, development, movement, feeding, and breastfeeding together rather than looking at each concern separately. My goal is to provide gentle, individualized care while creating a space where families feel heard, supported, and confident as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, and beyond.

Hello! My name is Celeste. My desire to become a doula started when I felt called to help and support women through their journey of birth before, during, and after. To this day, I believe my own experience of childbirth with my daughter would have been positively different if I had the opportunity of having a doula. Creating life and bringing it into this world is a superpower women have, and I want to empower other women from all walks of life through this physical, emotional, and spiritual process. Everyone’s childbirth story is different, and I enjoy hearing and learning from their experiences. I love working with babies and have many years of experience, as I worked at a daycare before, during, and after my daughter was born. I am naturally an empathetic and nurturing woman and find joy in making sure everyone around me is well and healthy. My partner and I have big families and we enjoy spending lots of quality time with everyone and creating new memories for my 5 year old daughter, Alayna. Although I love being surrounded by my family and friends, I also enjoy my alone time occasionally. I believe it is important to spend time with yourself to recharge and fill your own cup, so you can then help fill other’s cups. Dancing, reading, and enjoying a nice cup of coffee in the sun are some of my favorite things to do.

Peace, my name is Shantique Smith-Hayes and I am a Certified Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula in Milwaukee, WI. I am the Wife to an amazing Husband, and Mother of two lovely Daughters- ages 8 and almost 3. In my free time I love to lay out on my couch, in front of my big patio windows, cup of tea in hand, sun beaming, watching Nature do its thing. I enjoy traveling, reading books that make me feel good, painting, letting my inner child shine, and indulging in flavorful foods– Soul Food, Jamaican Food, Carribean Food, Mexican Food, you name it! I am authentically and purposefully myself. I take pride in having such a bright, Sunflower Aura. My philosophy is that every mother and baby, regardless of circumstances at time of conception, should have access to quality, personal, supportive care. As a Holistic Doula, my approach to pregnancy and childbirth recognizes that a woman's body is naturally designed to conceive, nourish, and give birth to their baby(ies). Our wombs are our centers and do far more than produce babies: they give birth to the power in us. I am a firm believer that the more you know, the less you fear. In my practice, I review the different phases of labor, positioning of baby and pain management techniques to help cope with the discomforts of contractions. I educate women of their birthing rights and help create an individualized birth plan, ensuring that they feel confident advocating for themselves and their healthy birthing experience. I offer 1:1 individualized prenatal wellness education on topics such as: prenatal care, pregnancy related physical and emotional changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum changes, parenting roles, and newborn care and safety. My doula work involves gentle practices such as breathwork and gentle stretching, utilizing herbal medicine, taking meditative walks in nature, intuitive painting, aromacaress therapy with infused oils and essential oils, and gentle womb massages. Each of these practices has a unique way of showing us who we really are- unmasked, vulnerable, courageous and bold. These practices equip women with the tools necessary for a safe, successful and memorable pregnancy and birthing experience; all of which in turn reduces the risk of undesirable pregnancies and birth outcomes in black maternal health.

Hi there. My name is Cailee, and I'm a trained full-spectrum doula offering support through fertility, birth, and postpartum. I've had the honor of aiding in births personally along with assisting through TTC, and postpartum. l'm also a mother of two-both born via C-section. I often reflect on how different my experiences might have been if I had the kind of support I now offer: someone to help carry the emotional and mental weight of labor, to advocate, hold space, and create calm. That's why I'm here-to help you feel comforted, informed, strong and free in your birth experience; whatever that may look like. Whether your birth is vaginal or cesarean, medicated or unmedicated, at home or in the hospital—I support ALL kinds of births with compassion and care. I'm also educated in fertility awareness and can guide you during the trying-to-conceive journey, offering both emotional and educational support. Let’s not forget about postpartum! I’ve got your back in whatever way you need🤍 I'm deeply passionate about all things birth and absolutely honored to help individuals and families meet their baby with confidence and peace. If you're looking for someone to walk alongside you-through the mess, magic, and everything in between-l've got you!
