Who is taking care of YOU? While many people are focused on your medical health and safety or the excitement of the new baby, I am focused on YOUR needs and desires. There is so much pressure put on moms to have a healthy pregnancy, a certain type of delivery, feed baby a certain way, and the list goes on. You are doing your best, and you deserve to be seen and supported. You are carrying the weight of the world, and I'm here to lighten your load. I'm Brooke, a birth doula in Northfield MN, and I help moms build confidence in birth and motherhood through evidence based research, postpartum planning, and my undivided presence at your birth. I believe that birth is a natural, healthy, and beautiful life event, and that we can trust our bodies through it. But most of all, I believe that YOU should get the right to know your options, to choose what sits best with you, and to be completely supported. No judgment. Let's chat and see if I'm a good fit for you!

I would truly recommend Brooke to anyone who is having a baby. She made me feel so seen and cared for every single step of the way. One of the best things about Brooke is the attention she gives to well-being of the mama. She really understands that this journey is not just about a single moment, but cares for moms during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She is exactly who I wanted to walk by my side through the beautiful and vulnerable process of bringing a baby into the world.

Terri Schelkoph (CD)DONA, HCHD Congratulations on your upcoming birth journey! With over 250 births attended, I am a highly experienced and compassionate birth doula, dedicated to supporting families through one of life’s most transformative moments. As a DONA-certified professional, I bring both extensive training and hands-on experience to empower mothers and their partners, ensuring they feel confident and supported throughout the entire birth process. In addition to my doula certification, I am Hypnobabies® certified, specializing in evidence-based techniques to promote relaxation and confidence during labor. I am also a VBAC Link® certified doula, offering expert guidance for those considering vaginal birth after cesarean. With my Spinning Babies® training, I help mothers utilize body positioning to assist with optimal fetal positioning during labor and delivery, promoting smoother, more comfortable births. I am particularly passionate about serving and equipping women proactively helping them navigate their options to best meet their emotional and physical needs. Additionally, I have a special interest in supporting families expecting twins or multiples, offering tailored care and guidance to ensure a smooth and empowering birth experience. My core mission is to foster a positive and empowering birth experience, educating families on their options and helping them make informed decisions that align with their unique needs and preferences. As a devoted Christian, I integrate my faith into my practice, providing spiritual support and encouragement for those who seek it. I believe every birth is unique and deserves to be honored with respect, love, and unwavering support whether it’s a physiological birth, a labor with epidurals, or a planned cesarean. My goal is to provide continuous support, regardless of your birth plan, helping you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your choices. When I’m not attending births, I love connecting with my community, leading prenatal education workshops, mentoring aspiring doulas, and directing the Doula Intern Program through The Nest at New Birth Midwifery. Outside of birth work, you can find me spending time with my husband of 20 years, homeschooling our six children, reading a good book, savoring my coffee, cherishing my friendships, cheering on the Vikings, or serving at my wonderful church. Let’s work together to make your birth experience a beautiful and empowering one!

If you are looking for someone who is compassionate, calm, and full of wisdom, Terri is the one for you! She was such an important part of my pregnancy and was a key factor in my birth going so smoothly. I’m so grateful for Terri’s presence during this season of my life. I felt like I had my own personal cheerleader! During the final weeks of pregnancy, I was facing a lot of stress and grief from losing a family member, and Terri’s calm, gentle presence (along with her strong Christian faith) helped me navigate it all. I don't know how I would have done it without her. She provided clear, evidence-based resources and thoughtful hands-on guidance on positioning and exercises to encourage my baby to flip out of her breech position. When my baby wasn't dropping (which was hindering my body from going into labor), Terri shared a variety of techniques to support optimal body alignment which worked so well. Terri is quick to respond and truly listens. I never felt like I was bothering her; she checked in on me frequently and has continued to be a wonderful resource even now that I’m postpartum. Her genuine excitement about birth, babies, and empowering families shines through in everything she does. I am so thankful for her!

Helping families welcome their little ones into the world is my calling and purpose! I am a former L&D nurse, who chose to be a doula so because laboring families deserve consistent, focused, support evidence-based information so they can best advocate for themselves during one of the most transformational times in their lives. Because of the challenges nurses face in hospital settings, I did not have the time or resources to provide this level of support to families. I started Womb to World Birth and Lactation Support Services so that I can use my years of clinical, training and business experiences to create a community that is respectful, supportive and empowering to families of all types. Our motto is YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE. YOUR WAY. I would love to support you in creating your joyful birth story.

As a supportive husband i understood my role was to step up to this new challenge of being part of the birthing process and often felt that a Doula would be diminishing my role. My wife came across Linna and after our first few meetings she helped me understand how being a mentor to us and bringing her vast experience was actually more helpful. I feel lucky that we met her and signed up immediately. She really went above and beyond. During intense labor, Linna didn't just support my wife; she coached me. She provided clear, actionable guidance that eliminated my panic and allowed me to focus entirely on my wife's emotional needs. Instead of feeling helpless, I felt effective and truly present. She empowered me to be the best support I can be. She not only was coaching us on the birthing process but also made sure to check on us weeks after the birth to make sure we were adapting well to our new role as parents. Linna will always be a part of our first born's beautiful birth story. It was the single best decision we made for the birth. experience and highly recommend her services.

Marika Brown

My name is Marika Brown, and I am a Jesus-loving Christian mom of 7 living children and 4 babies in Heaven. I am a DONA-trained birth doula. My background includes a B.A. in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Evangel University. I have been homeschooling my children for 13 years and recently graduated my oldest child, while my baby is approaching his second birthday. My journey to become a doula had been years in the making, starting with the birth of my own first child and instantly wanting to learn as much as I could about pregnancy and birth. I have always loved listening to other moms' stories about their births and babies. With my own back-to-back pregnancies and newborns, the time had not been right to pursue professional training to be a doula, but I knew it was something I wanted to do "someday." As a loss mama and high-risk patient myself, I have a special interest in supporting moms during a pregnancy after loss, or pregnancy complications. I completed DONA birth doula training in June 2025. I love to support moms with any type of birth-epidural, natural, high-risk, C-section, induction, spontaneous, VBAC. Every pregnancy and birth are different and all deserve support, acceptance, and no judgement. I would love to come alongside you and help support you in whatever birth you desire!

I have always been drawn to newborns, infants, children of all ages, and their families. There is a richness in family life that always brings about such a great sense of wonder and awe. There is a way a baby or toddler looks back at you and you know they don’t care what color your hair is, how many wrinkles you have, if you are overweight, underweight, or have zero sense of style. They just know how to LOVE. It is that unconditional love and trust in a baby’s eyes that instilled a strong desire in my heart to protect this innocence and trust by providing families with care providers they could trust. Care that is always gentle, loving, slowly paced, curious, and joyful. We want to bring this into your home.

Northstar Newborns has been a Godsend for our family. Ellen has gone above and beyond to meet our ever changing needs and our two nannies/doulas have become part of our family. Our children are not only well cared for, but truly loved by them. I would recommend speaking with Ellen if you are looking for care for your little ones.

Hi! I'm Ella. I am a mother to one beautiful daughter born in 2022. I also have a dog who is an English pointer lab mix that is full of energy and loves meeting new people. I live in Lakeville and am serving around the Twin Cities area. My interest in being a doula started when I realized I was really fascinated with birth after having my daughter. I also love supporting those around me and supporting expecting moms seemed to be the best way to support those in my community. My personal experience with pregnancy and birth were both challenging and empowering. To hear that story you would hear about personal transformation, courage, fear, and an immense amount of joy. As a doula I give expecting moms guidance and physical support through labor and birth to help them feel empowered and confident. With my calm and patient approach I create a nurturing space where you can explore your emotions and preferences freely.
