Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Rockford, IL

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.

Hello! My name is Kayla and I’m a DONA trained birth doula in the Chicagoland area. I primarily serve the northwestern suburbs but I’m willing to travel up to an hour. I have over 10 years of childcare experience with children ages newborn to 14 years old.

I am a childbirth educator, birth and postpartum doula and Owner of Cloud Nine Birth Services. My experience level (10 years and over 800 families supported) meets my level of passion and enthusiasm for this important work. I believe that every client and every birth is unique, that our bodies were made to welcome new life and that each family deserves true informed consent and proper physical and emotional care prenatally, during birth and in the postpartum period. My support is unwavering and unbiased. I am a calm presence, a wealth of knowledge on labor and birth, and not afraid to get my hands “dirty” by being physically active with every comfort measure you could dream of! ♥️

Hi! I'm Victoria, a certified birth and postpartum doula in the Madison, WI area. I truly enjoy getting to know and support new & expecting parents throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey. I believe birth is a beautiful, natural, and empowering experience, no matter how you choose to bring your baby into the world. As your doula, I hope to provide evidenced-based information, advocate for your needs and affirm your choices in birth. In the postpartum period, my goal is to show up for whatever you are needing that day, whether its lactation support, newborn care while you catch up on sleep, or cooking a meal for your family. I want to provide your family the space to enjoy this new chapter, while feeling fully supported. I am a certified birth doula through DONA international and currently working on certification as a postpartum doula. I'm trained in the use of TENS units and hypnobirthing, as well as a certified childbirth educator. Outside of my work as a doula, I am a perinatal mental health therapist specializing in women's & LGBTQ+ health.
