Hi! I'm Bria. I'm a wife and a mama to three little humans, foodie, traveler, and outdoors-lover. I'm also a birth doula and Lamaze childbirth educator. My interest in birth work began after my second baby was born. My passion is in supporting people in their journey to parenthood. Everyone wants to hold the baby.... I'm here to hold the parent[s]! After hearing countless testimonies from birthing people who wish they'd known more before giving birth, I decided to become a doula. My goal is to INFORM, ASSIST, and EMPOWER pregnant people, so that they go into their birth feeling confident and supported. As a doula, I support all birth. Whether you're planning a home birth in a tub, or a C-section in a hospital, I'm here for it. The most important thing to me is that we develop mutual trust, and that you feel comfortable with me by your side. My personality is pretty type-A, and I love numbers and evidence. One of my goals as a doula and childbirth educator is to make sure my clients always know their options, and understand the risks/benefits of the decisions they make. My childbirth ed course is designed to teach you ALL of your birthing options - not just your hospital's "policies". I'm excited to connect with you, and work with you during this lifechanging time!

I am a registered naturopathic doctor practicing virtually. My clinical specialties are women's health, fertility, and preconception. I also see women with concerns that they often need support with such as digestive concerns, endocrine issues, autoimmune diseases, and anxiety and depression. I always strive to find the root cause. I love to empower and guide patient's along their healing journey.

I love helping mothers enter their birth journey through education and empowerment. I am very passionate about the process of development and both, as well as supporting the birthing family and allowing our bodies to birth in the best way for them. 🌿

Hello! My name is Amy Adams. I am a wife, mother, preschool teacher and certified postpartum doula. As someone who suffered from postpartum depression I know what I wish I'd have had in my postpartum journey that I did not. I strive to make mothers feel supported and nurtured during their 4th trimester. I would love to be a listening ear, a supportive friend, a vocal cheerleader and a willing helper to you and your family.

Hi families! My name is Lillian, and I would love to be your birth doula and/or night nanny! I have been professionally trained by Dr. Robin Elise Weiss through DONA International and have been working with babies and in childcare for 5+ years. I am so excited to begin this incredible journey with you. I have always been passionate about working with families and babies in whatever capacity I could, and I aspire to be a midwife and eventually own/run a birth center focusing on holistic care. I strongly believe that birth is a beautiful, natural process that a woman’s body was made to do and that you, as the birthing person, are wholly capable of bringing your baby into the world. So, my goal is to support you in doing that however you may need! I have always been told that I have a very calming presence, even by strangers and those who don’t know I am in birth work, and I plan to bring that to every birth I attend, along with my active listening skills, assurance, and knowledge. Together, we will make sure your birth is as comfortable and empowering as possible, I can’t wait to work with you!

Hi my name is Libby! Having a passion for caring for people and family led me to my love of postpartum care! One of the biggest blessings in life is the ability to carry and bring a new life into this world. I have been working with families for more than 10 years, starting out as a babysitter, and working my way into the doula industry. It would be an honor to care for you and your family. I cannot wait to connect with you!

I’m a former paramedic and daycare provider. I worked closely with infants and have experience as a newborn care specialist.

I spent most of my career as a Television, Web and Podcast Producer, but after having two children and three grandbabies, I realized one of my greatest joys is caring for newborns and their parents. Having a baby is amazing but it also can be exhausting and overwhelming, filled with uncertainty and worry. I want to make this life-transforming transition easier on new families who may not have support nearby. Think of me as the mom or aunt who wants to give you and your baby lots of loving care and help, without emotional baggage or past issues! My goal is to help YOU learn how to be confident and competent parents while providing your precious baby another caring adult to give them a healthy and welcoming start to life.

I am passionate about everything birth related. My goal is to provide you a safe, nonjudgmental space. I will work with you to make your birth as you want it to be. I can assist with preparing your body for birth, the actual birth itself, and postpartum care. Postpartum care can include breast-feeding, mental health, checks, nutrition, and much more.

My background is as a licensed health professional within the field of occupational therapy, so it will surprise no one that client-centered care, coupled with the provision of evidence-based information, is my default orientation. You’ll hear a lot about my passion for comprehensive women’s health throughout the human lifespan, in all its beauty and complexity. Research shows that regardless of culture or country of origin, women who are supported, who are held by their communities, who take advantage of educational opportunities and family connections -- who are given access to the things they need -- are healthier. Reproductive health is a keystone of women’s overall wellbeing, and I view birth education, combined with perinatal support, to be a key factor in setting women up for long, happy, healthy, well-lived lives. I bring a wide lens to birthwork and aim to provide support for the entire childbearing year. Above all, I have a heart for maternal mental health. People need to talk about mental health as much as they talk about physical health. We’re getting there as a society, but we’re not there yet.

I live in Lakeville and am serving around the Twin Cities area. My interest in being a doula started when I realized I was really fascinated with birth after having my daughter.

With my calm and patient approach I create a nurturing space where you can explore your emotions and preferences freely.
