Find a Doula Near Me that Accepts Medicaid

With a background in Women's functional health, Cycle Charting education, and my own journey to Motherhood including a cesarean birth after planning a dream home birth, I have a wide scope of experience and understand your unique situation may call you to birth in a different way than you anticipated. I'm a mother-centric provider and birth partner. holding mama comes first, holding baby comes second or not at all. My priority is to make YOU feel seen, cared for, educated, supported, and held through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Beyond birth doula support, I teach cycle charting empowering you to choose when you have children and also helping you make sense of your menstrual cycle and what your symptoms reveal about your overall health. When clients uncover areas of health they can support, I can support them in finding answers through access to functional hormone testing and lifestyle coaching. I can't wait to meet you and support your unique story no matter where you find yourself in the journey of women's health and motherhood. BTW, I'm neurodivergent myself and so I have a real and personal understanding of low or fluctuating capacity. You can count on me to be understanding of your capacity in the decisions you make and will never judge you.

☀️Hey everyone!☀️ 💗My name is Yasmine. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula who’s also completed a birth/ midwives assistant training. 💌I became doula as my love for birth began as a child. I grew up in a large family and loved watching it grow with more babies. When I had my daughter, I was on Medicaid and wanted someone personal to help guide me through birth and labor. I did not know what a doula was exactly at that time. When I got pregnant with my son, I found myself being a doula for friends and mutual friends of mine virtually(due to Covid). It was not until my doula training that I learned Medicaid covers doulas. I then took the steps to become VA state certified and accept VA Medicaid. 🎯My goal is to provide quality, compassionate, empathetic, evidence based support to women who are more likely to get taken advantage of and neglected. As a woman of color, I know what it is like to feel dismissed and talked down to by the birth team/ healthcare system. I want to help you have the tools and confidence in your informed decisions.

Hi! My name is Lindsay Idler, and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula serving the New Jersey and Philadelphia area.

I attended my first birth more than 25 years ago and very soon after began actively pursuing birthwork, trading off between midwifery apprenticeships and serving independently as a doula.

Hi, my name is Chante Shine. I am a wife, mother and cancer survivor. It was after my own two wildly different but equally amazing birth experiences I realized that I had a passion for birth. For years afterward, I helped to guide my friends through their birth journeys but after my life changing struggles in 2022 I decided, life is short and there is not a minute to waste! So, in 2023 I decided to make it official and get my Birth Doula Certification. I also went ahead and added Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator Certifications to my agenda! I am currently working my way through these classes, and I could not be more excited and thrilled to start working with expecting parents such as yourselves!
