I have a BA in pre-medicine and I am currently working towards a master's degree in reproductive science and medicine, which I expect to complete in June 2025. I am planning to apply for physician's assistant programs next, with the goal of working as an OB/Gyn provider. Being a doula allows me to connect with and support the women in my community while I am in school to become a medical provider. Because of my background in science and medicine, my practice as a doula is research-based. I provide clients with personalized, accurate information to help facilitate conversations with their doctors so they can make the best decisions for their birth plan. I support hospital-birth clients, and I aim to eliminate the stigma surrounding medicated births.

Hi! My name is Shauna and I am a DONA International certified birth doula located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago - Woodstock to be exact. It is my honor to support families that are giving birth in home, birth center and hospital settings. I have five years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology, which facilitated my love for all things pregnancy related. While I thoroughly enjoyed supporting my patients in a clinical setting during their prenatal and postpartum phases, I truly wanted to be more involved in supporting women throughout the birthing process. I 100% believe all women should be supported and have the right to birth as they want, whatever that looks like for them. I believe women's bodies are remarkable and amazing. As a mom of three myself, I know first hand the power a woman's body has, from growing a baby, to delivering that baby, and then to be able to nourish that baby. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks with my husband and our two dogs. I also enjoy reading and staying up-to-date on all things pregnancy, birth and lactation related.

I believe every person has the right to informed care and the right to birth their baby with respect and dignity. I meet my clients where they are at, and walk alongside them, helping them to navigate through their journeys to parenthood. It is an honor and a blessing to hold space for the families I support during these pivotal moments in their lives.

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!

My name is Kelly Sijapati, and I am an experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I was certified in 2015, and I have served as a volunteer peer breastfeeding counselor since 2011. I have a degree in Psychology and believe that the most important aspect of lactation care is listening closely to the new parent so I can understand their individual situation and feeding goals before working together with them to create a personalized care plan. Having been part of the lactation field for over ten years, my goal is that every new parent feels fully supported during their feeding journey. I provide care in home visits, telehealth, and office visits. I specialize in latch and positioning adjustments for greater comfort in breastfeeding and have expertise in all areas of lactation including pumping, bottle-feeding, tongue tie, weaning, induced lactation, and more. In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with my husband, two children, and our cockapoo puppy, Maple.
