Preparing for birth can feel overwhelming — especially when so much feels unknown. Many women carry quiet fears about labor, the hospital, pain, and whether they will feel safe, supported, and truly heard during the experience. My name is Mira, and I provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My role is not to replace medical care, but to walk beside you through this important transition — helping you feel calmer, more informed, and more connected to yourself along the way. Birth is not only about what happens medically. It is also about how you feel while it is happening. You deserve to feel supported, respected, and not alone in the process. I stay with you through the intensity, the uncertainty, the emotions, and the powerful moments in between — offering guidance, reassurance, comfort, and steady support step by step. As a mother of five, I understand how deeply important it is to feel safe, cared for, and emotionally held during this time. If you’re pregnant and searching for more support, guidance, or reassurance, I offer free consultations to help you explore whether we would be a good fit to work together.

Hello there and congratulations! I am a homeschooling mama to four girls and a lover of all things birth. I believe that birth is a natural process and I love helping empower couples as they welcome their babies into the world. I’ve been teaching natural childbirth classes for 12 years, attending births as a doula for 7 years, and am now studying to become a homebirth midwife. If you want someone who is going to be a positive, uplifting voice throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I’d love to be that for you.

Hi, I’m Terri—a full-spectrum doula, photographer, wife, and mom of three. For over 25 years, I’ve walked alongside families as a social worker, and for the past 20 years, I’ve had the honor of documenting life’s most meaningful moments through photography. Supporting families has always been at the heart of who I am, and becoming a doula felt like a natural extension of that calling. I believe birth and the journey into parenthood are sacred, transformative experiences. My role is to offer calm, steady support—emotionally, physically, and informationally—so families feel seen, heard, and confident in their choices. Whether I’m holding space during labor or preserving those first fleeting moments, I’m here to walk beside you with compassion, strength, and care.

Hi! My name is Marci Fagala. I’m a postpartum doula passionate about supporting families as they adjust to life with a new baby. My goal is to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support tailored to each family’s unique needs — whether that means newborn care, emotional support, feeding support, overnight help, or simply creating a calm and confident space during the postpartum transition. I believe every parent deserves to feel supported, rested, and cared for during this important season of life.

I help parents readjust to life with a new baby. It’s my priority to make sure all members of the family feel safe, heard, and ready to take on the new addition to their family. I love to travel, read, and get a good workout in! I have much experience with helping out parents of multiples. I am also a certified sleep consultant!

I am a God-fearing doula and certified Hypnobabies instructor with a deep passion for supporting women in birth.

Hi, I'm Susi! I am a Hispanic mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister and now a doula obsessed with all things birth! I believe every woman should feel empowered to have the birth experience she desires and always have access to a doula.

Birth has always held a special place in my heart. I became a doula because I saw how deeply families are impacted by the support, or lack of support ,they receive during pregnancy and birth. I believe every parent deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered during one of the most vulnerable and transformative experiences of their life. As a birth doula, I offer continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy and labor. My care is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and grounded in faith. I am especially passionate about walking with families who have experienced loss, infertility, previous birth trauma, or fear surrounding birth, helping them rebuild confidence and peace as they prepare to welcome their baby. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where families feel safe to ask questions, explore their options, and trust their bodies and instincts. It is truly an honor to serve families as they step into parenthood with strength, confidence, and love.

Growing up as the middle child of six the topic of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding was never something I had to wonder about. I watched my mother grow my younger siblings and got to witness the incredible bond she had with them as she breastfed them. I always knew I wanted to be surrounded by the birth space whether it be my own or someone else’s. Twenty-something years later…here I am! Welcome to my corner of the internet- I’m Kyra. I’m a wife, mother of two beautiful girls and birth obsessed! In Kindergarten, my teacher assigned our class an art project that I would remember forever- to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up. The other kids drew pictures of firefighters, teachers, doctors and police officers. I drew a picture of myself in a wedding dress! I knew that I wanted to get married and have babies and take care of my own home. I wanted to be my mom! Not long before I got married I found the picture I drew and wished I could have told little six-year-old me that I would get to be exactly what I wanted. After being told I would probably never be able to conceive and carry my own babies I fell pregnant. I was able to grow and birth that baby, I felt so blessed! Fast forward another nine months and I’m pregnant again- an even bigger surprise. I was able to grow and carry and birth that baby too. I was fortunate enough to have two very healthy pregnancies and was able to have unmedicated water births in a freestanding birth center. After my first birth, I decided to stop making excuses and pursue something I’m passionate about. That brought me here to you. It’s such a privilege that I get to be a role-model for my daughters in this way. I get to raise them knowing that birth is normal and isn’t something to be feared. I get the privilege of supporting the strongest women as they grow and birth their babies. I am so grateful to do this work. Thanks for being here.

My name is Raegan Decious. I am a professional postpartum doula located just outside of Tracy Iowa. I come from a farm background and enjoy spending my free time either outside with my animals or with my family.

Being present at a birth is one of the most profound honors of my work. As a doula, I see my role as both a steady emotional anchor and an informed guide, making sure that parents feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. I provide calm, continuous presence during labor, offering comfort measures, reassurance, and evidence-based information so that families can make decisions with confidence. My philosophy as a doula centers on advocacy and safety. I believe that every parent deserves a birth experience where their voice matters and their wishes are respected. I work to bridge communication between families and medical teams, ensuring that parents feel informed, protected, and never alone in the process. Birth is not only about welcoming a new life, it’s about honoring the journey, preserving dignity, and creating an environment where families feel secure, respected, and celebrated.

Hello, I’m Mackenzie! My goal is to empower women during labor and support them in all aspects. I provide comfort techniques to help labor discomforts. I am certified in birth and postpartum so I can support before, during and after birth.

Hello! I'm a specialized postpartum doula with a passion for holistic well-being and a heart committed to supporting mothers on their unique journeys. My approach to postpartum care is a blend of researched practices and traditions that promote both physical and mental healing. My belief is simple yet profound – healing involves the mind, body, and soul, nurtured through compassionate support, nourishing food, and the space to rest. I am dedicated to helping moms recover faster, become stronger, and feel their absolute best, empowering them to be the best parents they can be. My personal postpartum struggles guided me on my path into the world of postpartum care. Turning my challenges into an opportunity to support others, I am dedicated to meeting moms where they are in their postpartum journey and helping them achieve their goals. I've learned a lot of practical knowledge through my postpartum journeys – breastfeeding all three of my children, tandem nursing twins, using cloth diapers, creating homemade baby food, and embracing baby wearing, that I am eager to share. I love helping moms integrate these practices into their lives. I am passionate about holistic practices, but am also comfortable around modern medicine. My approach is rooted in understanding and respecting each family's choices. My strengths shine brightest when engaging with mothers – whether it's during heartfelt conversations, changing diapers, or bringing nourishing meals. I hope to create a calming, caring, and supportive space that shines light on the path of each mother I have the opportunity to support.
