Hello! My name is Celeste. My desire to become a doula started when I felt called to help and support women through their journey of birth before, during, and after. To this day, I believe my own experience of childbirth with my daughter would have been positively different if I had the opportunity of having a doula. Creating life and bringing it into this world is a superpower women have, and I want to empower other women from all walks of life through this physical, emotional, and spiritual process. Everyone’s childbirth story is different, and I enjoy hearing and learning from their experiences. I love working with babies and have many years of experience, as I worked at a daycare before, during, and after my daughter was born. I am naturally an empathetic and nurturing woman and find joy in making sure everyone around me is well and healthy. My partner and I have big families and we enjoy spending lots of quality time with everyone and creating new memories for my 5 year old daughter, Alayna. Although I love being surrounded by my family and friends, I also enjoy my alone time occasionally. I believe it is important to spend time with yourself to recharge and fill your own cup, so you can then help fill other’s cups. Dancing, reading, and enjoying a nice cup of coffee in the sun are some of my favorite things to do.

Hey, there mama! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kristin, a Wisconsin native, wife, friend, and doula! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and spending time with my family. I have been "doulaing" since I can remember in the sense that I have always been passionate about serving, comforting, and supporting new moms and their sweet babies! I have been professionally trained by DONA International and CAPPA to provide continuous and unwavering support to you and your family before, during, and after your birth. I am a firm believer that every birth is a sacred time that displays the amazing strength of the human body and that every woman deserves to be heard, informed, and empowered during this wonderful time.

Mother of 8, grandmother of 8 (so far), aunt, sister, daughter —that’s Gwen! Teaching childbirth and Spinning Babies® classes, mentoring new doulas, facilitating a birth worker collective, and attending births has been my passion the last 10+ years. How can I serve you?

As a Full Spectrum doula, I provide emotional, physical, and informational support to families during the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. I provide a calming presence, offering personalized care that respects each family’s unique preferences and values. I am here to ensure parents feel empowered, informed, and nurtured, focusing on building trust, reducing stress, and guiding them toward a positive experience. My philosophy is grounded in a belief in the power of informed choice, advocating for families to feel in control of their birth experience. I support a range of birth preferences, from medicated to unmedicated, hospital births to home births. At the core of my philosophy is a deep respect for each family’s wishes and an emphasis on creating a compassionate, safe, and supportive space. I value a gentle, patient approach, trusting in the natural birth process while also being open to the ways medical care can support it when necessary.

I am a Certified Birth Doula, a Pre and Post Natal Fitness Coach, and a Body Ready Birth Pro. I always knew that my calling would be to help people, but found my way to birth work through the birth of my first baby. I was uninsured and uncertain but found a midwife and doula team who made me feel completely at ease. Despite that birth not going anywhere near to plan, I felt supported, safe, and empowered through my entire pregnancy and delivery. This is the kind of consistent and well-informed support that I brings to my practice. Every baby will come into this world differently and every delivery will be different. I am here to help parents navigate their choices and help them bring about the positive experience that they envision. Sara received her coaching certification so she can combine her own passion for fitness with her passion for birth work. It is important to her that pregnant bodies be recognized as strong and capable. She helps to direct her clients on how best to move safely and with strength throughout pregnancy so that the body is ready for birth and beyond. Acquiring her Certified Birth Pro status with the Body Ready Method allows her to take that one step further by addressing movement patterns with gentle exercises to help alleviate the aches and pains that come with pregnancy. Sara is currently working on the path to become a Midwife.

My journey to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor began after experiencing the lack of support from medical staff when my first son was born. This personal experience ignited my passion to ensure that other mothers do not feel the same sense of isolation and overwhelm.

My goal is to help women heal from their birth experience, feel confident in their new role, and not feel alone during this crucial time. Through my services, I strive to create a nurturing environment where mothers can thrive, bond with their babies, and access the guidance they need for a successful breastfeeding journey.
