Hello, and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Ronae (pronounced like the more commonly spelled "Renee"), and I am a Certified Birth Doula and Certified Lactation Specialist located in Fort Wayne, IN. I have always been passionate about serving and encouraging other women. Through my own parenting journey over the years, I have developed an avid interest in all things birth and breastfeeding. I have been a certified Birth Doula since 2020 through ICEA and Global Birth Community and have been a Certified Lactation Specialist (CLS through LEC) since 2021. I have experience in supporting births in hospitals, in birth centers, and at home. I believe that women have a right to nonjudgmental encouragement and support throughout their birth story, whatever they choose and wherever it takes them. I feel it is especially important for birth workers to empower women to understand their options in pregnancy and birth so they are able to provide true informed consent, playing an active role in their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences.

I am a birth doula in the Northern Indiana area, supporting mothers in and around the greater Goshen area. I have been working with pregnant women for many years, and have been a birth doula for 2 years.. I fully believe that every mother deserves to have a birth doula to support them through the entire pregnancy and birth process. I am daily amazed at how God created the woman to go through this process. I have been VBAC certified, and love working with families to achieve better outcomes that then would have been able to reach on their own.

Sarah Long is a doula trained through Dona international. She completed her training in 2020 and has been passionate about birth since her first pregnancy nearly 10 years ago. First with her own birth experiences, then with providing support in the birth of her nephew, Sarah was drawn to the birth world. She felt the urge to learn all that she could to help pregnant people feel empowered to gain knowledge and make decisions that are in their best interest. In 2011 she and her husband found out they were expecting twins during their first pregnancy. They were scared, excited, overwhelmed, and nervous. Because twin pregnancies are considered "high risk," and both babies were in the breech position, she had a scheduled caesarian at 37 weeks. Although she didn't get the birth that she had envisioned, her postpartum journey with twins was very positive. Thanks to lots of help from family members and friends, Sarah was not alone with her baby girls until they were three months old. She felt like having so much support and help is the only way she survived. Once the girls were a little bit older, they felt ready to grow their family again. Pregnancy number two was a singleton. This time around Sarah knew she wanted a different birth. She attempted a v-bac (vaginal birth after caesarian). She had a very long and challenging labor that ended in another caesarian. Outside of helping pregnant families, Sarah loves to spend as much time outside as possible. She loves playing games, camping, and going to the lake. She believes that our bodies are designed perfectly and they know exactly what to do to birth a baby. She wants nothing but the best and most memorable birth experience for you and she would love to meet with you to see if she is a good fit for you and your family. Text Sarah anytime!

As a military spouse, Aubrey has attended births all over the country and has supported a wide variety of birthing situations and locations. Her 14 years of invaluable experience includes supporting active duty Military families in Missouri, North Carolina, Texas & Indiana and serving low/no income families through nonprofit Doula organizations in Missouri (The Doula Foundation) and Texas (San Antonio Birth Doulas). Aubrey’s journey to become a doula began when she was pregnant in 2010. She began to really educate herself on all things relating to birth in order to prepare for the water-birth of her now 15 year old daughter. In doing so, a spark was ignited within her and she knew she had found her passion as a doula. In 2011, she suffered multiple pulmonary embolisms caused by the use of hormonal birth control. While recovering, she kick started her doula career to help women become well informed of their decisions before, during, and after pregnancy. As a doula, her main goal is to help empower families to make informed decisions. No matter what a family envisions for the birth of their baby, Aubrey wants them to enter into parenthood feeling knowledgeable, supported, and at peace with how the birth unfolded.
