Hi! I'm Amber Hage, and I'm so glad you're here. I'm a birth and postpartum doula, birth and family photographer, placenta encapsulation specialist, and pediatric sleep consultant based in Fargo, North Dakota. As the founder of Fargo Birth, I have the privilege of leading an incredible team—including my sister—as we walk alongside families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. Whether I'm providing hands-on support during labor, preserving your birth story through photography, preparing your placenta, or helping your family find more restful nights, I want you to know you don't have to navigate this journey alone. I believe every family deserves compassionate, personalized care that honors their unique goals and values. No two births—or families—are the same, which is why I take the time to truly get to know you and provide support tailored to your needs. Before founding Fargo Birth, I earned degrees in Business Management & Marketing and Masters in Educational Leadership. Those experiences have helped me build a team and organization focused on excellence, education, and exceptional client care, while never losing sight of what matters most—the families we serve. When I'm not supporting clients, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and our three boys, cheering them on at the hockey rink, watching reality TV, or helping my kids grow their own entrepreneurial adventures. It would be an honor to be part of your story and support your family through this incredible season of life.

I have always enjoyed helping others. I started my training in the medical field at the young age of 17 when I became a Certified Nurse Assistant. I continued my studies and became a Certified Medical Assistant, Although pregnancy was not easy for my body I thoroughly enjoyed being pregnant. With each pregnancy I was taught natural ways to cope and how to give my body what it needed. This gave me the desire to help other women, that desire continued to grow through each of my 5 pregnancies/ births to the point that I delivered my last baby unassisted and was able to catch her myself. I began my formal training with DONA in 2022 and became a certified birth doula in 2023. I have since worked with 4 midwives. in doing so I have gained great hands on experience and knowledge. I have been blessed to help many women through their own birth experiences. I look forward to continuing to serve and empower women for years to come. I want to continue the tradition of empowering and enriching women’s pregnancies and births, like my midwives did for me. Being a doula I get to do just that

I value abundance, spirituality and meaningful connections.

Hello! I'm Candi and I'm a birth & postpartum doula, pre & perinatal massage therapist and bodyworker, childbirth educator, and movement specialist. I originally became a birth doula because my 3 births were incredibly traumatic and I never wanted another mom to feel alone and scared like I felt during those experiences. But having attended births since 2004, I have come to realize that birth is very different than what I originally thought. I've witnessed some of the most amazing births with the most empowered and inspiring moms. I've come to learn that birth happens best when a mom feels supported and seen, when she trusts her body and the process of birth. And I've seen how a birth affects families going into parenting - traumatized moms don't trust their instincts and look for parenting answers outside of themselves. Whereas moms who felt empowered throughout her birthing goes into parenting as a mamma bear - trusting in her instincts and protecting her littles ferociously. It is my heart's work to help mammas, and families, find their strength and empowerment, believe in themselves and their bodies capability to bring baby into the world, and to walk the journey with them, every step of the way.

Hey! I’m Saralicia Waugh, a certified birth & postpartum doula practicing in Central MN. I started out as a birth photographer in 2017 and my passion for helping families discover what birthing options are available to them so that they can make informed decisions and have an empowering birth experience led to me diving into doula support in early 2024. I then got certified as a birth and postpartum doula in March of 2025. Although I am focusing on doula support at the moment and not currently offering birth photography sessions, I am happy to use your phone to take pictures and videos of you during labor/birth so you can preserve these precious memories. I believe families should have the power to take back control over their birth experience and tune into their innate instincts so they can play an active role in their care for a family-centered, positive outcome. When I'm not at a birth, you can find me making art/designing, spending time in nature with my 3 homeschooling kids, or learning how to make new foods from scratch in my kitchen.
