What's the Cost of Hiring a Doula in Milwaukee, WI?

I am the proud owner of Grounded Mama LLC, and I have completed the Holistic Doula Certification through The Motrona. I hold a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management and a master’s degree in healthcare administration. My passion for supporting families during birth and postpartum periods stems from my own journey with infertility. My husband and I faced the challenges of infertility for six years before conceiving our oldest daughter through IVF and our youngest daughter naturally. Each of my pregnancies and births was different from what I had imagined. I entered motherhood with a sense of naivety and quickly encountered postpartum depression and anxiety. I struggled during my early motherhood journey because I did not realize how important it was to feel grounded in order to be the best version of myself as a mom. With Grounded Mama Doula Services, my goal is to uplift mothers and be a part of their support system. I aim to help them feel grounded throughout their motherhood journey, both during birth and postpartum, by addressing their needs and wants.

My name is Kiara and I am a full-spectrum certified doula, certified lactation specialist, and student lactation consultant — and a mom to three amazing boys — I’m passionate about walking beside families through every part of their journey. My work is rooted in compassion, education, and the belief that every parent deserves gentle, informed support. The name Roots & Rest came from my belief that families thrive when they are grounded in support and given time to rest. My work as a doula and lactation professional centers around helping parents feel steady, cared for, and confident as they have grow their roots in parenthood.

From the very beginning, she was attentive, compassionate, and deeply committed to making this transition as smooth and joyful as possible. Her presence brought a sense of calm and confidence to our household, and she quickly became an invaluable part of our family’s journey. Kiara's knowledge and experience were evident in every interaction, but what stood out most was her kindness and genuine care.

We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who goes above and beyond. She didn’t just provide a service, she gave us peace of mind and became a wonderful addition to our lives.

I’ve spent over a decade as a labor and delivery nurse inside hospital walls—standing beside women as monitors beeped, doctors rushed, and plans changed in an instant. But the moments that stuck with me weren’t just the medical ones. They were the moments when a woman felt completely alone—even with a room full of people. When she nodded through the doctor’s explanation but cried later because she didn’t understand what any of it meant for her and her baby. When she whispered, “I just want to enjoy this… but I don’t even know how anymore.” That’s why I created Hakuna Matata Mamas. To offer the kind of support I knew was missing: the kind that holds your hand through the hard, teaches you how to cope with the unknown, and reminds you that you still get to have a story you’re proud to share. I work with high-risk mamas who feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under them—who are doing their best to stay strong, but secretly just want someone to see behind the brave face. Through personalized hospital prep, nervous system tools, and real, compassionate guidance, I help you feel courageous and connected—so when the big day comes, it’s not just something you “get through.” It’s the best day of your life. Even if it didn’t go according to plan. Because how you feel during your birth matters. And you deserve to feel safe, supported, and sure of yourself—every step of the way.

Cassandra is extremely dedicated to her work and focused on putting her patients first. She is very knowledgeable about pregnancy and the birthing process and is the perfect person to have in your corner to help you feel prepared for the journey. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she really makes sure to consider all options with you to find the best fit. Every time I talk to her I feel more calm and prepared for my upcoming birth. I don't know what I would do without her!

Hello there, I'm here to support you in your journey into parenthood - this starts with preparing you for the adventure of pregnancy, labor & delivery and postpartum period. I've worked with women in the fitness industry for 25+ years and love to equip women for a calm, confident birth and beyond. The tools you'll learn in pregnancy and childbirth will carry through for years beyond the delivery of your baby. As a Certified Body Ready Method Pro and Registered Yoga Teacher (ERYT) I can offer exercises to bring balance to your physical body. Preparing your mind is so important for this whole process, and I have many tools to support you and your partner emotionally and in faith, you are wonderfully made! I do include your partner in the process! It's important for your support person to be educated as well and I enjoy teaching couples how to use this time to improve communication and strengthen your relationship. Most of all, I'm there for you. My style is flexible and definitely customized - no two moms are alike:).

We had Susan as our doula for the birth of our first son. Susan was always very attentive to our needs, very involved in the process and really honed in on the whole mother. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, I felt supported from day 1 with working with her. My husband also was so thankful she was there during the labor and birthing process. She helped to calm nerves and was just such a calm and confident presence for both of us. My labor and delivery did not go to what I had planned, but Susan was there for us for my long labor, giving my husband rest and being a stronghold for me and doing counter pressure when I needed it. She gave us comfort when my labor took the turns I didn’t want or expect, and stayed with us all the way to the postpartum floor and ensured we were settled in. She even came for a postpartum visit and brought a care package and meals, checked in with me mentally/emotionally and physically, rubbing my swollen legs from labor. She seriously is like family to us!

Marisa Rogers

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) 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!

Hi, I’m Heather! I am a Wife, a Mom to a sweet boy, and a Postpartum & Infant Care Doula. When I found out I was pregnant I researched all things labor which is important, but I didn’t realize the importance of Postpartum Planning & Care. Throughout my own journey in the Postpartum Period, I developed a deep passion to serve and empower you in yours. This is ultimately what led me to become a Postpartum Doula.

Kirsten Seibert

5 years of experience

Hello everyone, my name is Kirsten Seibert and I am a birth doula! I am passionate about supporting women through the pregnancy and birthing process. My approach combines continuous education, emotional support and natural pain relief to empower women during pregnancy, labor and delivery. I also do placenta encapsulation myself and have plans to become a birth educator next!

Kirsten has a true gift for this work. She has the perfect combination of gentle compassion, knowledge of labor and birth, and confidence, which made me and my husband both feel at-ease from the beginning. The coaching and encouragement started from our first meeting, as I was coping with movement restrictions. As our due date approached, I had prodormal labor for two weeks, during which Kirsten was always available for encouragement and ideas via text. When labor finally did start, it was still sporadic, and Kirsten helped us keep things moving along and more regular. We labored at home as long as possible, which was absolutely the key to having an unmedicated birth at the hospital. Kirsten coached my husband on how to support me, which led to the most beautiful connection and low-stress labor for both of us. When we arrived at the hospital, even the nurse commended Kirsten and said we arrived at the perfect time. I was ready to push, and our beautiful baby girl was born within the hour. Kirsten’s support was essential, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Cheyanna Warren

Hi! I'm Cheyanna Warren, a birth doula who's been loving on moms for 3 years! I'm 25 and Wisconsin-born and raised. I have a wonderful Husband, Kyle, and together we have two boys, Wyatt and Mason. I always knew I belonged somewhere in the birth world, but I wasn't sure where, until I was introduced to the idea of being a doula, and that's when I knew this is where I was meant to be! Helping Moms achieve a positive birth experience is such a passion of mine. I pride myself on the relationships I build with my families. I believe the first step in creating a safe birth space is to have full trust and comfort with those in your birthing journey. To achieve this, I take away that typical doula client "standard" and create a true lasting friendship so you know you can feel supported in a judgment-free zone! When I'm not attending Happy birthday parties, you'll find me playing with my kiddos, cooking, or watching reality TV!

Mission~~~ I am a “pick-your-own-adventure” kind of doula! With tailored care to your unique dreams for this journey, we navigate the waves with a spirit of confidence and bravery. I promise both to help you find the strength from the Lord that He has already given you and ensure informed consent, so that you may be at peace with the choices you make for you and your baby. ~~~Impact: My passion is to help women reclaim their confidence in their God-given intuition, and ability to trust their body & this process. My goal is not a specific birth for mothers - my goal is that after working with me, they are able to look back on their birth and say, beaming with pride, “I could do that again”. Birth is hard - but it doesn’t have to be traumatic. My aim is to help create a day that is beautiful, that doesn’t elicit a stress response when remembered. (And bring fun into birth, whenever possible!) Tulip Doula Services celebrates our beautiful, heaven ordained biology as women - honoring our sex’s special gift to be our babies’ first home, of mothering, and to be a mother! My present calling is to help women discover that they are STRONG, ABLE, & RESILIENT.

Working with Sarah was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. From our very first meeting, she brought a calming presence, deep knowledge, and genuine compassion that made us feel supported every step of the way. She took the time to understand our birth preferences, answered every question with patience and clarity, and helped us feel informed about what decisions were coming our way. Although Sarah wasn’t able to be present at our birth due to unforeseen circumstances, we still had an incredibly positive experience thanks to her thoughtful preparation and the amazing support provided by her backup doula, Christina. When labor began, Christina stepped in seamlessly—clearly a reflection of Sarah’s dedication to building a strong and reliable support network. Christina was phenomenal - intuitive, encouraging, and provided unwavering support and reassurance during a long induction. As a first time mom, she made me feel confident, safe, and supported throughout the entire experience. We even managed to have some laughs along the way during active labor. I'm certain that without Christina by our side, we would've had a much different experience. Sarah and Christina's support didn’t end at birth! They also checked in with us postpartum to help us process our birth experience, offering guidance and kindness that made the transition into recovery and parenthood feel less overwhelming. Because of Sarah and Christina, we walked away with a positive birth experience despite having a labor and birth that didn't go as we planned. It’s clear she’s deeply passionate about what she does, and her dedication shines through in every interaction. We’re so grateful for Sarah and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional birth doula.

Evelyn Bello-Schrag

Hi, I'm Evelyn – a mama to two beautiful kids, a nature lover, and an advocate for women. While I didn’t plan to become a doula or childbirth educator, I now know that it’s my true calling. Growing up in a close-knit Mexican household, I was always drawn to community and mentorship, especially for girls. After earning my degrees in psychology and Spanish, I worked with survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. Becoming a mom ignited my deep curiosity about pregnancy and birth. I became fascinated by the process, eager to learn everything about labor and advocate for my own birth experience. After having profoundly empowering births, I realized that every woman deserves a birth that is powerful and free from trauma. This curiosity soon grew into a passion for supporting other women in my community. In my journey as a home visitor, working with Spanish-speaking moms, I saw firsthand the lack of resources and perinatal education available to them. It fueled my desire to help these women advocate for themselves, find their voice, and feel empowered in their birth experiences. After the birth of my daughter, I took a step back to reflect on my passions, and that’s when I discovered the amazing combination of doula and childbirth educator. And so, La Vid was born – a community for mothers to feel rooted and empowered, from pregnancy through motherhood. I believe in the strength and connection of women, and my mission is to empower you through your entire journey, so you never have to walk alone.
