Grant + Leah 2/20/2026 "Mari was assigned to us as a replacement doula when our original doula had a conflicting delivery. Mari immediately reached out and was flexible to our needs in early labor. My wife was laboring hard in triage for 7 hours (there was a major rush at the hospital, we couldn't get a room or her planned epidural for that long) and doesn't know how she would have coped without Mari. She immediately brought a calm presence to our situation while also helping us get the situation under control and manage contractions with various techniques. Mari also helped us execute on our birth plan and encouraged us to get rest whenever possible. We would recommend Mari to anybody seeking a doula."

Hi! I am Rebecca Stiglitz from Bolingbook, IL. I started my postpartum doula journey when I lost my teaching job due to my school closing. As a postpartum doula, I am blessed to mother the mother. My job is to take care of you first, the baby second, and then the rest of the family. Think of me as your best friend that comes in and gets right to work. I believe that mom needs rest and if mom is well rested, the family will be at peace.

"Hi, I'm Islamiyyah Jenmi-Lasisi, founder of Bloom Perinatal Services and a Certified Full Spectrum Birth and Postpartum Doula serving families across all of Illinois and beyond. HIPAA, cultural competency, trauma informed care, CPR/BLS Certified I became a doula because I lived what you may be going through right now. As a mother of three, I know what it feels like to bring a baby into this world and need real support, someone to hold your hand, answer your questions at 2AM, sit with you through the hard moments, and celebrate the beautiful ones. I watched mothers in my community especially Black mothers on Chicago's South Side go through pregnancy and birth without the support they deserved. I saw the fear. I saw the loneliness. I decided to be the person they needed. At Bloom, I offer continuous birth support, postpartum recovery care, prenatal visits, newborn visit facilitation, and baby relief hours because YOU matter, not just the baby. I serve ALL families with warmth, cultural sensitivity, and zero judgment. Medicaid credentialing in progress. Accepting private pay. I come to you wherever you are. Care, Support, and Empowerment Every Step of the Way. 🌸

I’m a Christian wife, mother, and RN who discovered a passion for birth work after having my own babies. I have been a birth doula since 2022 and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), licensed since 2025. My midwifery practice is focused on faith and trust in the design of a woman’s and baby’s bodies to navigate the birth process. I work with my clients so that they can make informed decisions and consent. I consider myself a minimalist and love allowing the process unfold undisturbed unless absolutely necessary. As a birth doula, I have the most experience in attending unmedicated labors and do love to work with women who have this goal. However, I do still attend medicated births, planned or unplanned. I help my clients experience true informed consent so that they are empowered in their birth choices. In the labor room, I amplify their voice. I’m honored to witness every family’s birth that I have a chance to work with!

As a certified Community Health Worker and both adult and youth Mental Health First Aid responder, I operate in a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to care. I'm also a trained womb wellness and skincare practitioner, offering holistic services that help clients feel nurtured both inside and out. Whether it’s emotional support, birth preparation, postpartum care, or womb-centered healing, I'm equipped to meet each client where they are (both in person and virtually) with warmth, knowledge, and empowerment. I believe every person deserves to be cared for in mind, body, and spirit—and feel honored to walk alongside each client on their unique journey.

Hello, I'm Rebecca, and I have nurtured and helped children aged six weeks through school-age succeed in learning for the past 20+ years. While working with infants exclusively for the past 15 years, I have found my passion. After raising two children, I am following my dream of caring for infants, newborns, and their parents. I have been helping parents with their newborns for over a year now and I love it! I'm also passionate about helping parents successfully return to work while breastfeeding. As a result, I created and implemented a training for daycare teachers entitled “Supporting Breastfeeding Parents in a Daycare Setting.” I believe empowering parents to be their child’s first teacher is essential for keeping children happy and healthy. I am a trained Newborn Care Specialist and a Postpartum Doula. I have taken a “Lactation for Doulas” class, a sleep conditioning class, and have attended a training on perinatal mood disorders. I look forward to supporting parents and other family members as they care for their new charges. Outside of work, I am a published author, and I enjoy writing about everything from infant care to Science Fiction. I love reading and have an extensive library of children’s books.

Hi, I’m Tenia, and I’m stepping into the sacred role of a doula. My journey in holistic healing, Reiki, life coaching and maternal wellness has led me to this work.

My focus is on intuitive, holistic care, blending mindfulness and traditional doula practices to nurture and empower moms during this transformative time. My greatest teachers are my three beautiful daughters. They inspire me every day to create a healthy, holistic, and happy home—one rooted in nature’s wisdom, balance, and deep self-trust. I'm excited to get to support and learn more about you and your family as you navigate this wonderful and empowering journey.

Hello, My name is Clarissa Mesquita and I'm a mother and doula. Olá! Meu nome é Clarissa Mesquita e eu sou mãe e doula.

I am a postpartum doula whose passion lies with helping moms and new families welcome baby home in a cozy, safe, and well nourished environment. My goal is to empower and support mom, so that she can be the best mom to her little one - postpartum does not have to be filled with baby blues, skipped meals and sleeplessness.

Hi everyone! I'm Angel, a wife, mom of four, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), trained full-spectrum doula, and maternal-child health educator. I'm passionate about walking alongside families as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, infant feeding, and the transition into parenthood. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care that supports not only your baby's needs, but yours as well. My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and confident in the decisions you make for your family. As a mom of four, I know firsthand that pregnancy, feeding, recovery, and life with a new baby can be beautiful but it can also be exhausting, emotional, confusing, and sometimes incredibly lonely. So often, parents are surrounded by advice while still feeling like no one is truly caring for them. That's why I'm so passionate about this work. Whether I'm helping with feeding challenges, caring for your baby while you shower or rest, answering newborn questions, or simply offering reassurance during a difficult day, my hope is that every family I work with feels a little more cared for, a little more confident, and a lot less alone.

It is an honor and a blessing to hold space for the families I support during these pivotal moments in their lives.
