I am a military spouse, have base access and am a birth photographer and doula. As a doula, I’m dedicated to help families through this transformative and memorable experience. Though Tricare does not cover a doula on base, I do offer a military discount for base births for both doula and photography services. I was a teacher before photography and birth work, and I believe that gives me a solid background in keeping the calm in chaos. I love all things birth related, and especially love when families are present. I'm happy to have a free consult, grab a coffee and chat! Message me and let's set something up!

First of all, she is very well informed and makes sure you are informed as well, even though she had not attended many births at the time of my delivery. She has a bubbly, warm personality that immediately makes you feel comfortable and open with her from the moment you meet her. My backstory is that I wasn’t originally planning on having a doula, but there was a chance my husband might not be able to attend the delivery. I was already in my third trimester when I started looking for someone, and I feel very lucky that Rebecca was available. She is very reliable and supportive. Her calm and bubbly presence made labor and delivery feel much more manageable—we talked about everything and nothing during labor, which really helped keep me grounded. She also helped me communicate with the nurses and doctor about my wishes. My delivery experience with the doctor was not very positive. I felt rushed, especially because it was late in the evening, and I did not feel fully listened to. I did not want my water to be broken and wanted to labor down, but the doctor broke my water and encouraged me to push to deliver, saying laboring down was not possible and even dangerous. In that moment, Rebecca helped me communicate my concerns in a respectful and calm way and supported me emotionally when I felt my wishes were being dismissed. Before this experience, I didn’t fully understand what a doula does. Having Rebecca there the entire time made a huge difference and turned what could have been a very stressful experience into a much more positive one. She truly helped transform a difficult situation into something I can look back on with gratitude, love, and laughter.

Regina Martin

13 years of experience

Hi, I’m Regina — a birth photographer, certified birth doula, lactation counselor, and childbirth educator based in western North Dakota. I’ve spent the last 12+ years supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and those hazy early postpartum days, and I’ve had the honor of attending more than 200 births along the way. I’m deeply passionate about physiological birth, informed choice, and helping parents trust their bodies and instincts—especially in moments that feel intense, vulnerable, or overwhelming. My background in hands-on birth support and lactation care shapes everything I do, whether I’m documenting a birth or walking alongside families as they prepare for baby. At the heart of my work is bearing witness—to strength, tenderness, and the very real, very human way families come into being. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at home with my husband and four kids, tending to a good book, sourdough, garden, or any number of granny hobbies.

Regina is an amazing photographer and artist! She has taken photos of my family and branding photos for my business. They always turn out beautiful. I would not hesitate in recommending her to a friend for photography needs.

Kathy made my birth experience the second time around so much better! She helped me manage the pain, supported me through all my choices and advocated for me! I also loved how she helped make the room more comfy with twinkling Christmas lights! 100% recommend Kathy as a birth doula!!!

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 had Stephanie as my doula a couple years ago and right from the start I knew it was the right decision! My pregnancy was not easy, but Stephanie was there with words of encouragement, kindness and no judgment. When it came time to deliver, she was at my bedside with lots of trips and tricks up her sleeve! In times where she needed to help relax me, she was able to relax my husband too! She was never pushy, never made me try something I did not want to do and most importantly, she was kind and respectful not only to our family but to our doctor and the hospital staff as well! If we ever choose to get pregnant again, the moment we find out I am calling 2 people...our daycare to get on the waiting list and Stephanie to make sure she is with us every step of the way!

FAQs

What is a midwife?

A midwife is a licensed medical professional who cares for low-risk pregnancies and mothers who want no-to-low intervention deliveries (e.g., home birth, birthing center delivery, water birth).

Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds?

Yes, you can use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for midwifery services, as long as those services are related to medical care. Always check the specific rules of your HSA or FSA plan, as there can be variations in what expenses are considered eligible between different plans.

Are midwives covered by insurance?

Whether midwife services are covered by insurance depends on the insurance policy, the type of midwife, and where the birth is planned to take place (e.g., at home, in a birthing center, or in a hospital). In the United States, many insurance plans do cover midwifery services, especially when those services are provided by a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) who is licensed in the state where they practice. CNMs are trained in both nursing and midwifery and are often affiliated with hospitals and medical centers, making their services more likely to be covered by insurance.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

What's the difference between a midwife and an OBGYN?

A midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in low-risk pregnancies, childbirth, and postpartum care. They typically emphasize a natural and holistic approach, focusing on minimal medical interventions. Midwives often work in birth centers, at home births, or in hospitals, depending on their certification and location. They provide personalized care and support throughout pregnancy and labor and may also assist with breastfeeding and newborn care. An OBGYN is a medical doctor who has completed extensive training, including medical school and a residency, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. They care for all types of pregnancies, including high-risk cases, and are trained to handle medical complications, perform surgeries (like C-sections), and provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare beyond pregnancy. OBGYNs typically work in hospitals or clinics and can manage a broader range of medical situations.

Can I see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy?

Yes, you can see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy. Midwives are trained to provide care during pregnancy, including for those conceived through IVF, as long as the pregnancy is low-risk. They can help with prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and provide postpartum support. However, if your IVF pregnancy is considered high-risk or involves complications, you may need to work with an obstetrician in collaboration with the midwife to ensure proper care. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best care plan for your situation.
