I’m Connie Lambeth, a Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife. My love of birth started as a preschooler — when my mother asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up — I knew I wanted to catch babies. I had the ability to receive midwifery care during both of my pregnancies and births, and postpartum experiences. Directly benefitting from midwifery care lit the fire in my life of what is possible for individualized holistic healthcare. I’ve been professionally involved in birthwork since 2015, first as a certified doula and Hypnobirthing childbirth educator, and now as a midwife. I earned my midwifery degree from the National College of Midwifery based out of Taos, NM, and studied my hands-on learning over an intensive two years. I had the honor of apprenticing with two home birth midwives in the Madison area, and at a high volume out-of-hospital birth center in Milwaukee under the guidance of five midwives and one physician. Before becoming a midwife, I was a teacher (I’ve taught early childhood to adult learners, from Public to Montessori), with a Master’s Degree in Educational Research. As a lifelong learner and experiential educator, I see pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenting as life’s greatest experiential lessons. Although I don’t teach in a classroom anymore, I use my background as a teacher, educator, and researcher to help families to make informed choices and feel supported while they grow. I’m committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in my practice of culturally competent and comprehensive midwifery care. I value each individual navigating their childbearing year tremendously and strive to do everything I can do to support them in reaching their goals. Helping individuals and their families during one of the most influential transitions of their lives speaks to my values and most natural skill set: compassion, empathy, and openness.

I am excited to be on this journey and be a part of a special new chapter with you.

Nyamuoch Miak Birth & Postpartum Doula My name is Nyamuoch Miak, and I own Mama Seed Doula, LLC. I serve the Johnson County, Cedar Rapids, and William Burge area. I am married and blessed with four beautiful children. I have over ten years of experience working with children in school and childcare settings. I am drawn to birth work because of my passion for assisting birth parents and my love for newborns. I enjoy educating, supporting, connecting, and learning from parents and their newborns as they discover each other's needs and wants. I put birthing parents at the center of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I listen and provide the physical, emotional, and educational support parents need to navigate the transition into parenthood confidently. I aim to give birthing parents and their families my undivided attention and the knowledge they need to make informed decisions unique to them. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, teaching my native language to my children, crocheting, and volunteering at our local church. My husband and I share a happy, busy life with our family and friends, and I love sharing our Sudanese cuisine with everyone!

My name is Chloey, and I am a dedicated doula passionate about supporting birthing families on their unique journeys. I am deeply rooted in our community and committed to providing compassionate care to the CR community. In October 2023, I welcomed my beautiful daughter, Aspen, into the world, an experience that ignited my passion for birth and inspired me to become a doula. Navigating my own birthing journey made me realize the profound impact of having the right support and guidance during such a transformative time. I graduated from the University of Iowa in May 2024 with my bachelors in psychology, and am now on my second year of my bachelors degree in midwifery. My goal is to ensure that every family feels confident, respected, and supported as they bring new life into the world. I am here to help you have your birth, your way and look forward to working with you!

Hi everyone! My name is Megan Swanson and I am a birth and postpartum doula located in Eastern Iowa. I founded The Jubilant Doula after experiencing the joy of birthing my son in my home in 2023. The moment he was born, my love for supporting mothers and families was too! I believe birth can and should be a joyful experience for everyone involved. As a doula, I will provide physical, educational, and emotional support and point you in the direction of evidence-based information for you to achieve your ideal birth outcome. I would love to partner with you as you grow your beautiful family!

Being present at a birth is one of the most profound honors of my work. As a doula, I see my role as both a steady emotional anchor and an informed guide, making sure that parents feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. I provide calm, continuous presence during labor, offering comfort measures, reassurance, and evidence-based information so that families can make decisions with confidence. My philosophy as a doula centers on advocacy and safety. I believe that every parent deserves a birth experience where their voice matters and their wishes are respected. I work to bridge communication between families and medical teams, ensuring that parents feel informed, protected, and never alone in the process. Birth is not only about welcoming a new life, it’s about honoring the journey, preserving dignity, and creating an environment where families feel secure, respected, and celebrated.

I provide compassionate, empowering care. I feel it is a privilege to guide couples through the birth process. I have attended the births of 625 babies, to date. I have been a birth doula since 2007. I am also a registered nurse and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Instructor @ Genesis-Davenport.

Hello, My name is Alyssa Wagler and I am a birth doula supporting clients in the southeast Iowa region. I LOVE birth! I have 4 children of my own and have supported over 70 births so far. After having a doula for myself, I understood the importance of moms getting education, support, and advocacy during pregnancy and labor. That's when I trained to be a doula with Stillbirthday academy. I have since done training with Spinning Babies as well, to help further my understanding of comfort measures while also helping labor to progress. It is a truly humbling privilege and honor to support moms and dads as they transition into parenthood. Bringing new life into this world is a gift and I'd be honored to guide you.
