9 years of experience

Hello and Congratulations on your new arrival! I've been a birth doula since 2018 through the organization DONA. Every birth I have assisted with has been a beautiful and a learning experience for me. I feel blessed to be a part of this special moment in the lives of my clients. My practice provides you and your partner with continuous emotional and physical support. You are in charge, but a doula can assist with you staying in charge, especially in a hospital setting. Doula's are skilled at helping to alleviate the fear factor of giving birth. Every mother deserves a doula, and I hope you would consider me to be yours. Best wishes! Rhonda

Rhonda is a kind, sincere person with a true passion to help moms have a great experience of birth based on the mom’s hopes and preferences. She fit into the dynamic of my husband and I very well and made my husband so grateful to have a doula, and of course I was so thankful both of our births to have Rhonda with us.

Who is taking care of YOU? While many people are focused on your medical health and safety or the excitement of the new baby, I am focused on YOUR needs and desires. There is so much pressure put on moms to have a healthy pregnancy, a certain type of delivery, feed baby a certain way, and the list goes on. You are doing your best, and you deserve to be seen and supported. You are carrying the weight of the world, and I'm here to lighten your load. I'm Brooke, a birth doula in Northfield MN, and I help moms build confidence in birth and motherhood through evidence based research, postpartum planning, and my undivided presence at your birth. I believe that birth is a natural, healthy, and beautiful life event, and that we can trust our bodies through it. But most of all, I believe that YOU should get the right to know your options, to choose what sits best with you, and to be completely supported. No judgment. Let's chat and see if I'm a good fit for you!

I would truly recommend Brooke to anyone who is having a baby. She made me feel so seen and cared for every single step of the way. One of the best things about Brooke is the attention she gives to well-being of the mama. She really understands that this journey is not just about a single moment, but cares for moms during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She is exactly who I wanted to walk by my side through the beautiful and vulnerable process of bringing a baby into the world.

Hi! I'm Ella. I am a mother to one beautiful daughter born in 2022. I also have a dog who is an English pointer lab mix that is full of energy and loves meeting new people. I live in Lakeville and am serving around the Twin Cities area. My interest in being a doula started when I realized I was really fascinated with birth after having my daughter. I also love supporting those around me and supporting expecting moms seemed to be the best way to support those in my community. My personal experience with pregnancy and birth were both challenging and empowering. To hear that story you would hear about personal transformation, courage, fear, and an immense amount of joy. As a doula I give expecting moms guidance and physical support through labor and birth to help them feel empowered and confident. With my calm and patient approach I create a nurturing space where you can explore your emotions and preferences freely.

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 in Rochester, MN?

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 in Rochester, MN?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in Rochester, MN, depends on your specific insurance plan and its coverage for maternity care. Many insurance plans do cover midwifery services, especially if the midwife is licensed and works within a hospital, birthing center, or as part of a healthcare network. Some plans may also cover home births with certified professional midwives, but this varies. It’s important to contact your insurance provider to confirm coverage details, including in-network providers, co-pays, or any out-of-pocket costs related to midwifery services in your area.

How much does a midwife cost in Rochester, MN?

The cost of a midwife in Rochester, MN, can vary depending on the services provided, the midwife's experience, and whether care is given at home, a birthing center, or a hospital. On average, midwife services in the U.S. can range from $2,000 to $6,000 for prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postpartum care. Some insurance plans may cover part or all of the costs. To get an accurate estimate, it is best to contact local midwifery practices or birthing centers in Rochester, MN, and inquire about their pricing and insurance options.

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.

— Stephanie B., review of Brooke Jaszczak August 2025

Brooke was present for the birth of my first two boys and the quality of care I received not only during my labor but both before and after their births has her operating at the top of her field. She anticipates needs, communicated with the medical staff, family, my husband and I in a way that made me feel confident and at peace, knowing she had things under control, I was able to be present in the moments both before, during and after birth. I am so grateful she was there coaching me through birth, and providing check ups on me post partum. She was able to anticipate needs and identify emotions I didn’t even know I was having and it has made me a better mother! Brooke is really the best out there!
