Madi Waibel Birth & Postpartum Doula in Peoria, IL
About Madi
I believe birth is sacred and a work designed to be both deeply physical and deeply spiritual. I offer holistic support to help families trust their bodies, understand their options, and walk in alignment with their values. I have been a Birth Doula for 5 years and a Postpartum doula for 2 years. I have served families in the USA, Thailand, Bangladesh, and India. I have a special heart for the postpartum season and helping mothers and families rest, heal, and flourish in this tender season of adjustment.

Night Nanny
I support families by caring for their precious newborn at night, so they can get more restful sleep and have more capacity to thrive and enjoy this tender season. This often looks like bringing the baby to the mother at appropriate times to nurse if exclusively breastfeeding and caring for the baby in between. As a night nanny, I can also feed the baby formula or pumped breast milk, and allow the parents to have uninterrupted sleep. I also help families navigate sleep challenges and find a sustainable rhythm. While the baby is sleeping, I can spend this time doing light housekeeping, meal prepping for the family, or washing dishes and bottles.
What to expect
I provide compassionate, evidence-informed doula support throughout pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. I help families feel prepared, confident, and supported through education, emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and continuous presence and advocacy. While honoring each family’s individual choices and birth preferences.
