Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Lafayette, IN

I'm a birth doula, a mom of two young kids, a Licensed Social Worker, and an artist. I work at the edge of birth and becoming—the places where women cross from one version of themselves into another. I hold space for women preparing for birth (especially those carrying fear or grief from a previous experience), mothers navigating the postpartum crossing, and any other significant threshold moment for anyone who needs to be held, not fixed. This work is not about making you brave. It's about witnessing you—exactly as you are—while you move through what's here. My approach is all about empowerment through education, holding space for sacred moments, and for processing those threshold moments after the fact, as well! I love incorporating somatic body awareness and trust in my trauma-informed practice. I’d love to walk alongside you during your threshold moments!

Master of Science, Nutrition Specialist, Herbalist, Chef, Teacher, and Mother, are all callings that I may answer to, yet I am far more than just a list of titles. I live as a ball of energy aligned in harmony. Within and without I have grown to sea Whealth--- that is wholistic nourishment of my mind, body, soul and most importantly the womb. What we feed on (mentally, physically, and spiritually) is what we teach the generations that we create. From my experience within this journey of life, living, and healing, I now know that the secrets to Whealth all lie in the mindset. Just as our temples eat for its energy needs, our minds eat in a system of energy exchange. Thus, the things that we choose to feed on very much determines the quality of life that we see on this Earth. I am here as a resource for all who may follow. Let us mindfully feed and heal wholistically. Your abundance awaits.

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.

Hello my name is Emma Maxey and I have been a certified birth doula for about two years. I am located in the Plainfield, IN area and eager to support expecting parents! I have great experience with pregnancy, with myself having naturally birthed my first three children (two of which are twins) and my last baby which I birthed prematurely via c-section. I have also helped clients achieve their desired birth outcome. My personal focus is on the importance of providing clients with informed consent so that we can achieve their perfect birth experience.

My pricing is extremely reasonable, willing to work with client on price if necessary in order to provide the support they deserve.

Hi! I’m Jess, a Birth Doula in Indianapolis, IN. I’m a mom who nerded out about birth while pregnant and found a career I love, and I’m married to my high school sweetheart.

I have a lifelong passion for assisting others, which began when I attended college to study Human Services. This path led me to roles such as Social Worker, Family Support Specialist, and Home-based Case Manager, among others. Throughout my career, I’ve always felt compelled to support pregnant women and care for infants, fueling my desire to become a doula. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing and helping with over 70 live births, offering guidance to partners, families, and even my own family during prenatal, labor, and postpartum stages. As a parent to seven children and grandparent to twelve, I’ve experienced firsthand the joy of being present at many of their births. Outside of work, I enjoy attending church with my husband, listening to and reading books, relaxing with music, occasionally watching movies, and sharing meals at restaurants with friends and usually my husband.

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. 🤎🌿

Hello! My name is Lexis Koehl and I have recently been certified as a postpartum doula. My passion is babies and helping people so it seemed like a no brainer to start this career.

I am Stephanie Hunt with The Diamond Doula. I am a Birth and Postpartum doula that is passionate about working with and alongside women to achieve their desired outcome for their birth and beyond. I started attending births when I was 16 years old, and have been hooked ever since. I worked for several years in corporate America, had 4 kids of my own, and was living the mom life. Just a couple years ago, I decided to take the plunge and become a doula. I have always been someone people came to for birth advice or coaching, or if they just needed a little encouragement, so decided to finally follow my passion. I have had 4 kids, all born at home. My first was an at home breech birth. My two middle children were water births, and my last one was 9lbs 14oz. Each was unique and beautiful. While mine were all at home, I love supporting women in whatever avenue they choose to birth in, whether that is at home, in the birth center or in the hospital. I offer Birth Doula Services which include labor and birth training. I offer Postpartum Doula Services which can also include sleep training. I am certified in The Thompson Method of Breastfeeding for Professionals. I am a Professional Postpartum Belly Binding.

All inclusive birth and post partum doula specialized with African American birthers.

My name is Leah McCarty-Little and I am the owner of Our Little Helper LLC. I serve Indianapolis and its surrounding cities. I attended Purdue University and graduated in 2019. My training is with BEST Doula Training (2020) and Wholistic Doula Training (2021). In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies, taking walks outside, or hanging with my adorable nephews. I believe doula work chose me long before I chose it. Growing up, I was always fascinated with pregnancy and birth. I remember being young and watching "A Baby Story" or "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" or wanting to be so involved with helping my sister with her pregnancy. In 2020, I decided to re-evaluate my career path and find something that I would be more passionate about. I found doula work and it was the perfect fit. This field really keeps on giving and warms my heart with each family that allows me to be on their journey.
