Carly Ann Marshall-Braun

I am Chicago based childbirth educator, doula, and soon-to-be midwife. I am passionate about supporting undisturbed physiologic birth. I believe in healthy-at-any-size. I've been teaching Evidence Based Birth for two years and I recently finished Midwifery school (to be licensed in 2026). I adore working with queer families, trans folks, and families who have used fertility support. My expertise spans home birth, birth centers, and hospital birth. Most people who take my class are at a birth center or hospital. Many want an empowered low-intervention birth, but most also want information about the benefits of epidurals, and when is the best time to get one. I am passionate about you having the birth YOU want, and having agency over your body and birth, no matter what this journey brings. I provide evidence based information, grounded energy, and listening ear.

Carly Ann was our doula for the birth of my second child and she was so incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and her presence was deeply grounding for me. Having her guidance in the hospital room was incredible for my husband and me both, and it just felt like we didn't need to worry about anything with Carly Ann there to remind us of anything or prompt us in important moments! She also came by to support after the baby was born and I appreciated feeling like I could just relax and be cared for by her. Super grateful that we got to work with her and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in working with her!! x

Choosing Amy as our homebirth midwife was the best decision we made for our family. From our very first consultation, I knew she was different. She doesn’t just “do midwifery” — she embodies it. She is deeply knowledgeable, confident, and grounded, but also incredibly warm and intuitive. I never once felt rushed, dismissed, or pressured. Every appointment felt like true care, not just a checkup. During labor, Amy’s presence was everything. She was calm, steady, and completely trusting of my body. She knew when to offer guidance and when to simply hold space. I felt safe, empowered, and fully supported through every wave. My birth felt sovereign, respected, and deeply sacred. Her postpartum care has been just as amazing. She checks on both mom and baby thoroughly — physically and emotionally. She genuinely cares about the whole family, not just the clinical boxes that need to be checked. If you are looking for a homebirth midwife who honors physiological birth, protects your autonomy, and brings both skill and sacredness into the room, Amy is who you want. I will forever be grateful she walked this journey with us.

Claire Stibich

My name is Claire and I am starting my doula journey. I feel that I have been called to support women during pregnancy and postpartum. I'm outgoing, supportive of your choices as a mother, and a great listener. I am skilled at de-escalating situations in which you may feel panicked or afraid, and explain things in simple terms so that they aren't overwhelming. I will advocate for you in whatever situation you need, whether with a high-pressure medical provider or your nosy mother-in-law. I have worked with children 5 to 18 years old who have mental, physical, and emotional handicaps as well as a multitude of students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Working with these students has brought me so much joy and understanding of a world that can be very hard to explain to those with no experience in it. Whether it is you, your children, or loved ones who identify with the previous disorders, I would be beyond honored and ecstatic to help work through the crazy mystery and miracle of birth. I am currently going through the certification process to be a doula and need to attend three births to be fully certified. I am looking to help anyone I can in this process.

Claire was my doula throughout my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She went with me to doctors visits and spoke up for my needs when I didn’t feel like I could advocate for myself. She was constantly researching ways to solve each unique problem I would have, such as ways to help my hyperemesis graviderum, finding unique foods that would stay down, or baby products that would accommodate specific needs that I or my neurodivergent husband had. She also taught my husband how to care for me when he felt incapable of helping me. During my natural homebirth Claire helped me stay calm and in a positive headspace while making sure my birth plan was followed. I was able to breathe baby out without any interventions and I credit so much of that to Claire’s support. Postpartum she helped me to the bathroom, helped me change my diapers, and even bathed me and washed my hair when I felt incapable of taking care of myself due to a painful tear from the birth. She came when I hadn’t slept in 48 hours post birth and took care of my newborn so I could sleep. Any time I called Claire she would just let me talk, release any anxieties I was having, and then help me come up with a practical plan to solve my problem. She is a fantastic listener and she was never condescending or made me feel silly for any of my anxieties or little problems. I truly could not have gotten through any of the pregnancy stages without Claire’s support and would highly recommend her to everyone, especially if you are neurodivergent and need someone who will stand up for you in any situation. Thank you, Claire!

Michal was wonderful with supporting my birth. She had techniques for helping manage pain and also was open to my choices for birth plan. You won’t regret choosing Michal for your doula.

October 2026

I can’t say enough about Nora’s competence, generosity, warmth, and kindness. I reached out to Nora when I was 20 weeks pregnant looking to relocate to the area. I was hoping, as a Doula, she could help me understand prenatal care and birth options available. She exceeded all expectations. Her guidance had both breadth and depth. She respected all of my personal preferences. She helped me find my full stack of care providers. Every midwife, nurse, chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, etc that I met had a strong relationship with her and a deep and profound respect for her and her work. I was afraid to give birth in a hospital but that’s where I had to be because of transferring care so late in pregnancy. Nora surrounded me by a moat of providers that respected my wishes and I had a beautiful home birth in a hospital.

October 2026

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Michal and the role she played in helping me achieve my VBAC! After experiencing a traumatic first birth that ended in a C-section, I carried a lot of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty into my second pregnancy. I knew I wanted to try for a VBAC, but I also knew I needed someone who could help me work through my previous anxiety around birth, help me in laboring, and encourage me to feel confident in my ability to give birth. From the very beginning, Michal was incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and intentional in her support. We spent time discussing my previous birth experience, talking through my birth plan, practicing labor positions, and exploring different techniques to prepare me both physically and mentally. She truly took the time to understand my fears, my goals, and what mattered most to me. When the night finally came, Michal was there through it all, standing beside my husband and me every step of the way in all my fear. She was a constant source of encouragement, reassurance, and calm. She reminded me of my goals and why I had made certain decisions, especially when I began doubting myself. When medical interventions were recommended, she helped me take a step back and understand my options, ask questions, and remember that this was my birth, my body, and ultimately my decision. She never pushed me in one direction or another, but instead empowered me to make informed decisions with confidence. One of the things I appreciated most was how she supported my husband, too. She showed him different ways to comfort me, help with positioning, and be actively involved throughout labor. She didn’t replace his role but instead helped him become an even greater source of support for me. Michal has such a compassionate heart and a gift for making you feel heard, supported, and cared for. She was truly heaven-sent during one of the most vulnerable and meaningful experiences of my life. I went into this birth carrying so much fear from my first experience, and I came out of it having such a healing and empowering birth that I don’t think could have been possible without her support!
