Jesse Waller

Accepts insurance

As a full spectrum doula, integrative lactation and feeding specialist, and licensed massage therapist, I have a passion for supporting all genders, bodies, and family structures through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My personal birthing experiences include a planned home birth, turned hospital induction, turned cesarean, followed by a home birth VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean.) I have supported births ranging from unmedicated to planned cesareans, and would love to help you achieve the birth that is best for you. I especially value the opportunity to work with queer and trans people, neurodivergent families, and people preparing for births after cesareans. I stay up to date on recommended vaccines to maintain the safety of the populations I work with.

I was so thankful to have Jesse as our postpartum doula. They always showed kind, loving care when taking care of our baby; I knew he was in safe, expert hands whenever she was with him. I deeply appreciated their knowledge and guidance, especially the way they pointed out key development markers that gave us much-needed confidence. What makes Jesse truly special is the way she cares for the whole family. While my birth didn’t go as planned, they served as a vital sounding board—commiserating and encouraging me exactly when I needed it most. She has a rare ability to intuit what needs to be done without being asked, whether they were bringing incredible baked goods or jumping in with meal prep and cooking. Jesse is a professional who brings both evidence-based expertise and a warm, grounding presence. I will always treasure the time we had with them, and if we have more children, she will be the first person we invite back into our home.

I booked Milan early in my pregnancy, and I’m so glad I did. My pregnancy was high risk, and she supported me every step of the way. She let me vent after every doctor’s appointment through texts and calls, and she listened to every worry without judgment. Milan has such a calming spirit, and just hearing her voice would instantly put me at ease. I trusted her completely, not only because of her advice but also because she respected the doctors’ recommendations while helping me find my own voice. There were many times when I would have let others decide for me, but she gave me the confidence to speak up. Now that I’m postpartum, I’m even more grateful for her. I could talk to her for hours, and she continues to be such a comforting, grounding presence. Having Milan as my doula was truly a blessing that made a challenging pregnancy feel supported, peaceful, and full of grace.

Paiten Dodd

Hello Lovelies, My name is Paiten Dodd, and I am certified birth doula (DONA), professional postpartum doula (CAPPA), certified breastfeeding specialists, childbirth educator, and Registered Nurse. I take pleasure in providing you (and your partner) with the best treatment, unwavering support, and resources before, during, and after birth. My goal is to make the transition to parenthood as stress-free as possible, allowing you (and your partner, if applicable) to have a pleasant and gratifying experience. As a doula and nurse, I am able to provide clients with evidence-based education, adequate support, and the birth experience they deserve. I am dedicated to making sure you come first, you are heard, and the vibes are always good! Remember the contractions are strong, but you are powerful! Let's have a BIRTHday :)

I don’t even know where to begin. Paiten is a gem. She has such a gentle spirit and kind heart. This was my first pregnancy and I didn’t know what to expect. Terrified, fearing the unknown, Paiten put all my worries to rest before, during, and after my delivery. I have nothing to compare labor and delivery to, BUT I can say it was a great experience with Paiten by our side. When I felt that I wasn’t being heard or had concerns I couldn’t voice, Paiten stepped in. When I needed guidance during contractions, Paiten stepped in. When needing help with labor progression, you guessed it, Paiten stepped in and guided us every step of the way! As you see, I could go on and on AND ON! My family is still raving about Paiten 8 weeks postpartum! 10/10 recommend Paiten and her services to any mommies out there!
