Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Lawrence, IN

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.

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.

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.

As a Traditional Homebirth Companion, I bring the tradition of the wise woman to your birth. For more years than we can count or recollect, this was the way women brought their babies into the world - at home, surrounded by women who knew birth, knew physiology and knew how to support it. Women who knew time-honored skills, traditions, plants and nutrition. Before regulation, laws and governments got in the way, women were birthing safely, on their own terms. Taught and mentored by elders who are bringing back these traditions and skills, I’ve stepped into this work to provide more options and possibilities in my community, so that babies are born safely into their parents’ arms, and so that women are treated with dignity and respect.

Hey! I’m Torisaun, I am a holistic women’s wellness practitioner, Traditional birth attendant, wombologist, herbalist & massage therapist I work with women who are having VBACS, c sections and any family that would love womb healing during their services. As a traditional birth attendant/ birthkeeper I provide clinical support for those who aren’t attending ob/gyn appointments & are having a freebirth. (Also moms who are having hospital births) Do you know what Womb healing is? It’s improving your sacral chakra/ energetic & physical womb space by releasing fears, mental and spiritual setbacks so you can have the birth you desire. (Which is important so you can have the best birth experience possible- because you deserve it!) I also create herbal pregnancies & afterbirth.

Nice to meet you! I’m Alyssa. I’m a boy mama x 2. After having two very different birth experiences, I’m passionate about supporting and educating parents leading up to birth and beyond. With a long induction + c-section birth and also a non-medicated VBAC under my belt, I feel well equipped to support all moms. I love to integrate a holistic approach to birth work, but I also appreciate modern medicine when truly needed. Every mom has their wants and needs when envisioning the birth that they desire, and I love helping them get from where they are to where they want to be. I value breastfeeding and postpartum wellness as well and love to help moms troubleshoot or problem solve when needed. The saying “it takes a village” holds a special place with me as I often feel pulled to be that village for fellow mamas. I strive to make other moms feel appreciated, supported, informed, and confident in their God-given abilities! I live in the Indianapolis area with my husband + our two boys. I love mom hangs, adventuring with my fam, being my kids biggest cheerleader + checking out new local food and coffee spots with my husband.

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. It is also important to me to provide support to those that are experiencing pregnancy complications, as this group of people need extensive support where they may not be getting it. I have experience in bereavement care as well. I have also been working as a breastfeeding counselor. My pricing is extremely reasonable, willing to work with client on price if necessary in order to provide the support they deserve.

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.

I have a background in art and dance, which are some of my greatest loves, and would be honored to share with you at this time.

My work centers on preparing the heart and the body for birth in a way that is free from fear, free from industrial medical narratives, and grounded in certainty in Allah’s wisdom and decree. I guide women to understand the physiology of undisturbed birth, to strengthen their iman and yaqeen, and to approach motherhood as an act of worship rather than a medical event. I support sisters who desire a homebirth or freebirth (unassisted birth at home), who are navigating pregnancy outside of the system, healing from past birth experiences, or preparing their hearts for birth with clarity and spiritual steadiness. I also serve women who are seeking to reclaim their authority, their trust in Allah’s design, and their confidence as mothers rooted in tawheed rather than fear.
