Hello, my name is Karen McMahon, and I have been a Postpartum Doula for over 28 years in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area. I am passionate about moms, babies, and everything postpartum - striving to make coming home with your new baby a smooth transition, filled with joy, peace, and restfulness. My goal is to provide compassionate and thoughtful care tailored to your specific needs. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my adult children, playing outdoors with my Shih Tzu, and exploring the Northern Minnesota outdoors with my husband.

Hi families! My name is Lillian, and I would love to be your birth doula and/or night nanny! I have been professionally trained by Dr. Robin Elise Weiss through DONA International and have been working with babies and in childcare for 5+ years. I am so excited to begin this incredible journey with you. I have always been passionate about working with families and babies in whatever capacity I could, and I aspire to be a midwife and eventually own/run a birth center focusing on holistic care. I strongly believe that birth is a beautiful, natural process that a woman’s body was made to do and that you, as the birthing person, are wholly capable of bringing your baby into the world. So, my goal is to support you in doing that however you may need! I have always been told that I have a very calming presence, even by strangers and those who don’t know I am in birth work, and I plan to bring that to every birth I attend, along with my active listening skills, assurance, and knowledge. Together, we will make sure your birth is as comfortable and empowering as possible, I can’t wait to work with you!

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 spent most of my career as a Television, Web and Podcast Producer, but after having two children and three grandbabies, I realized one of my greatest joys is caring for newborns and their parents. Having a baby is amazing but it also can be exhausting and overwhelming, filled with uncertainty and worry. I want to make this life-transforming transition easier on new families who may not have support nearby. Think of me as the mom or aunt who wants to give you and your baby lots of loving care and help, without emotional baggage or past issues! My goal is to help YOU learn how to be confident and competent parents while providing your precious baby another caring adult to give them a healthy and welcoming start to life.

Welcome, glad you are here. I am passionate about everything birth. I want to support my clients to make their birth the experience to be. I offer gentle, nonjudgmental support during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

As a parent myself, I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenting. My goal is always to help you fully understand your options, confidently make your choice, and effectively communicate your needs to those around you. I believe that the development of these self-advocacy skills will serve you for the rest of your life. I am filled with purpose when clients feel heard and supported in their decisions, and I want to celebrate the fact that you made the choice that is right for you. All love and support—no judgment.

I am passionate about everything birth related. My goal is to provide you a safe, nonjudgmental space. I will work with you to make your birth as you want it to be. I can assist with preparing your body for birth, the actual birth itself, and postpartum care. Postpartum care can include breast-feeding, mental health, checks, nutrition, and much more.

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.

I am 21 years old and I am also married with 2 wonderful children! I had a doula for my first birth and I've never felt so secure. I had someone who had me, my boundaries and wants in mind. I never knew what i wanted to do as a career and after that whole experience I knew exactly what i wanted to do. Birth is such a vulnerable process and emotions are high. My goal as a Doula is to remind mothers that they are powerful and courageous! I love the feeling when i see mothers realize they are meant for this and they can do it with out a doubt!!<3

Hi! I’m Annika and I am excited to support you through your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by pregnancy and birth and I took many opportunities to explore this interest further during my time as a student at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. I currently serve as a Public Health Project Coordinator for Scott County, working to promote healthy families. I truly believe that the start to every healthy family is birth, and every family deserves a beautiful and empowering experience, whatever that looks like to them. My goal is to best prepare you through your pregnancy so you have the best chance of having your ideal birth. I will help ensure that you are well informed so you can be your best advocate, and I will advocate for you when I’m asked. My care is comprehensive, evidence based, and rooted in the multitude of education I have received, which is ever ongoing. I hope to build a connection with you and your family that will last long after your birth. I cannot wait to meet you! I serve the West Metro area of the Twin Cities.

I’m a fertility and birth doula offering evidence-based, compassionate support from conception through birth. As a fertility doula, I specialize in medically assisted conception, including IUI, IVF, and surrogacy. I support intended parents through the emotional, physical, and logistical complexities of treatment-helping you understand medications, timelines, and decision points so you feel informed and grounded throughout the process. As a birth doula, I support families no matter how their pregnancy was achieved. I work collaboratively alongside your medical providers to complement clinical care, while centering physiological birth and informed decision-making. My role is to help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and feel calm, confident, and supported during labor and birth.

Hi there! I'm a bebo mia trained full spectrum doula, specializing in fertility and birth support. I have a background in software development and management, spending over seven years working in the corporate world. Problem solving, research, planning and teaching others are some of my favorite things - I can't wait to help you! My own conception and birth stories are what lead me to become a doula. Feeling the difference in support level that comes from hiring a doula firsthand, I can truly say that no one should have to go without. My births were also vastly different, so in addition to training I also have first hand experiences in both medicated and unmedicated birth, inductions and waterbirth.

Hi there! My name is Emily and I have been "mothering the mothers" since I became pregnant with my first 5 years ago. I became a bit "birth obsessed" and couldn't get enough of reading the latest evidence. I decided to put my passion towards a new career path and pursue being a postpartum doula. I have 2 kids, a husband, a cat and dog. We love to go on adventures looking for new places and parks to visit as well as finding good local coffee and donut shops. My hobbies include baking, cooking and gardening as well as anything outdoors! I have also been a pediatric occupational therapist since 2015 and love my job helping kids and their families reach maximum potential and coach on ways to adapt and modify environments to meet the child where they are at! I serve the Wright county and surrounding areas of MN
