Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am a full-time doula proudly serving families throughout Indiana and surrounding communities. Born and raised in Indianapolis, I am also a mother of four beautiful children who have inspired my passion for birth work and maternal support. My journey to becoming a doula was deeply personal. After experiencing trauma during three of my own births, I realized how important compassionate, informed, and empowering support truly is during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I chose to turn my pain into purpose by helping other mothers feel seen, heard, educated, and supported throughout their birthing journey. As a doula, my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering experience for every family I serve. I believe every mother deserves respectful care, emotional support, and an advocate by her side. Through my work, I strive to transform trauma into healing and blessings by giving back to the community and supporting families during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Hi, I’m England, founder of Womb + Root Wellness. 🌿 I’m a mother of three, full spectrum doula, lactation consultant, herbalist, and Reiki Master. My journey into birth work started long before I became a mother. I found myself naturally supporting and advocating for other mothers, while also navigating my own reproductive health journey. For years, I struggled with endometriosis without a diagnosis. As a Black woman, I experienced firsthand what it feels like to have your pain dismissed, your health overlooked, and your voice unheard within the healthcare system. I also watched the women closest to me including my mother and sister experience traumatic births and a lack of the care, information, and respect for autonomy they deserved. When I became pregnant and had my own children, I became my own doula. I learned how powerful it is to understand your body, know your rights, trust your intuition, and have someone in your corner. Those experiences became my purpose. I created Womb + Root Wellness to be part of the change—especially within Black and Brown birthing communities. My work is rooted in education, advocacy, holistic care, nourishment, and empowerment, helping mothers feel informed, respected, supported, and heard throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Your body. Your birth. Your voice. Your autonomy. 🤎🌿

Cieara Jake offers Doula services to all, who are in need of fertility, prenatal, birth, postpartum and infant feeding and loss support. As a Full-Spectrum Doula I am very passionate about providing heartfelt emotional, physical, mental and informational support to persons on their journey. My mission is to create an environment of advocacy, so those who may not believe they have a voice, will be heard. I want all my clients to know that they are worthy of respect and dignity. And their hopes and dreams surrounding their birth experience, matters. Within my practice I will help my clients identify their inner strength of bringing forth the miracle of life. From the moment of conception to the moment of seeing and holding their baby for the first time. With my intriguing interest in the impeccable work of Doulas and the difference they make in our communities has geared my drive. My passion is to strive towards making a difference in my community and offer services that will transform lives that may not have support or access to resources due to social and economical inequalities. I want to make a difference in my community that represents Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) especially, women. Within these particular communities there is an alarming and increased rate of maternal and infant mortality. Indiana faces one of the most severe maternal health crises in the nation, recording 31.4 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births—a rate among the highest in the United States, according to the March of Dimes. And also infant mortality in Indiana extends far beyond the delivery room—it measures every baby who doesn't make it to their first birthday. Each year, about 500 Hoosier families experience this devastating loss, representing a rate of 1 out of roughly every 160 babies (6.3 per 1,000 live births).Blessings From Above is determined to help decrease these rates within its communities by providing exceptional support to all during their pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum periods. When searching for services you will have the opportunity of choosing between either experiencing my Full-Spectrum Doula services, certain number of specific services or a single service package that will best meet you and your family needs. The various packages will be listed under the Doula packages tab. Blessings From Above was established in 2020. My passion of becoming a Doula started back in December of 2018 when I was a participant in Indiana’s Nurse-Family Partnership program. This program is for economically disadvantaged women who are pregnant with their first child. The program is designed to help support first-time mothers less than 28 weeks with support, advice and information. Each participant is assigned to a personal nurse which meets twice a month up until their baby turns two years of age . After completion of the program I was motivated to help support other birthing persons the way I was supported in my community. So, I began to do research about the profession of a Doula and the role they play in lives of people who are trying to conceive, pregnancy, in labor, delivery, postpartum and infant feeding and I knew in that very moment this was my calling. I knew I wanted to be apart of supporting a community of birthing persons along their journey of giving birth to a healthy baby.

With over a decade of experience supporting families, I’ve seen firsthand the joys and challenges of breastfeeding/chestfeeding; including the unique journey of induced lactation. My mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence you need to reach your feeding goals no matter where you are in your journey. Why I Do This Work: Infant feeding is one of the most personal and impactful experiences a parent can have, and that includes parents who are nurturing babies through induced lactation, adoption, surrogacy, or as a non-gestational parent. But it’s not always easy, and too often, families are left feeling overwhelmed or unsupported; especially when their journey doesn’t look “typical”. That’s why I created LatchLine: to make expert, compassionate, and inclusive lactation support accessible to all families, no matter where they live or what challenges they face.

We provide lactation education and postpartum support to new parents so they can feel confident, capable, and enough.

I officially began my birth work journey in 2018 and have gone on to work as a doula, lactation counselor, and birth assistant. I feel the idea of supporting women in their birth journey actually took root with my firstborn in 1994. I loved and cherished the guidance I received from other women and provide the care that meant so much to me. I have 4 grown children 2 of which were hospital births and 2 home births. I feel honored to be able to share my experience with women and families. I approach birth holistically. As well as physical support during labor, my role is also to act as an advocate for the birthing woman and her family. Contact me to find out more.
