Megan Walker - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Megan

HIYA FRIEND! I ENJOY HELPING MOMS KNOW THEIR STRENGTH IN BIRTH & HOW TO REST IN POSTPARTUM. When I started studying birth work, I knew it was my calling. I zoned into it and fell in love so hard that I can talk about babies and birth any time of any day. In labor, I rejoice in seeing a woman break free in her body and focus on the bond with her baby. In postpartum, I treasure getting to see a family welcome their newest member + seeing mom resting and healing.

Megan is truly the best! Hiring her was the best decision my husband and I made with our second child. I went into labor 5 weeks early and she was by my side the entire time. She advocated for me and helped me through all my contractions. If you are looking for a doula - megan is the best! Thank you again for everything Megan!

Frequently asked questions

HOW DID TWYNED DOULAS BEGIN?

Twyned Doulas originated from a mother’s desire for more serene birth journeys with fewer unnecessary interventions, inspiring her to extend this possibility to others. She wants more for new soon-to-be mamas so she became a doula and breastfeeding counselor. Megan had three different birth experiences. One with an epidural and lots of stress, one with Pitocin and back labor, and one completely natural. She understands what it is like to not have all the answers and not be given the respect she deserves.

WHAT RESOURCES WILL BE PROVIDED BESIDES SERVICES?

Access to our lending library of books which include birth, pregnancy, breastfeeding, partner support, and more. Each client receives 4-5 workbooks about birth, postpartum, newborn care, breastfeeding, and VBAC support. These workbooks contain around 17-30 pages each and are great reference points especially for new parents. Community resources
