LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Salt Lake City, UT

Congratulations are in due for your pregnancy, I hope you've loved it so far. I have been a birth worker since 2019, and offer Doula Services, Photography, and Massage. I love creating & hopping from one hobby to another. My most favorite hobbies are gardening, film photography, and oil pastels. My favorite place to be is the coast at Oregon, strolling outdoors, and with my family. My family is made of 5- Myself, My partner, my two boys and my german pointer mix. I believe that your family is the center of your whole world. I work with families that want a small, intimate birth experience. I support however or wherever you want to birth- hospital, home, low intervention, or chosen interventions- I'm here to support you and your partner, helping you focus on what matters most- meeting your little one for the first time.

Hello! My name is Lindsay. I'm a certified birth and traditional postpartum doula in Utah County and have been supporting families since 2017. I believe pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood are physical events, and also deeply emotional and spiritual ones—a great becoming. Because of this, my work is mother-centered, and blanketed in ritual and ceremony. You deserve to be held and witnessed. When I'm not working with postpartum families, you'll find me spending time with my three children, dreaming about traveling the world, and singing and knitting with my community.

Hello, I’m Lauren- a mother to two daughters and a holistic labor + traditional postpartum doula with an education focused on the Ayurvedic philosophy. I view pregnancy, birth, and the process of becoming a mother as not only a physical event; but a spiritual experience as well. In your most sacred spaces, I act as a gentle guide +space holder in pregnancy, labor, postpartum and beyond. Supporting mothers/families during their greatest transitions, and weaving in ritual+cereomy as a means to support and honor these initiations and grand transitions is a passion of mine. It is through my own difficult experiences with child birth and the Matrescence time, that I feel deeply called to give other mothers/families what I did not receive. It takes a village to raise a mother. None of us were meant to do this alone, nor should we have to!

I have been teaching somatics for over 12 years throughout my local Salt Lake City community. I acquired my BFA in Modern Dance and Education from the University of Utah in 2009 and shortly after gained my yoga teacher training in Hatha and Prenatal Yoga. I am a certified DONA Birth and Postpartum Doula, an ICEA accredited childbirth educator, parenting group coordinator, mental health advocate and community organizer. All of the diverse education and training, as well as years of experience, provided me the space to confidently educate the community of expectant parents during their reproductive years, while simultaneously providing unbiased evidence based care. I believe that guiding people to fine tune their own personal intuition and strength allows them to live a happier, well balanced and meaningful life.

Greetings! I'm Aleece Weaver, a certified birth doula and trained by DONA (Doulas of North America)residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. I’m prepared to share a wealth of knowledge to enhance your birthing journey. My commitment to empowerment, support, and advocacy for clients is the driving force behind this pursuit. My approach revolves around creating a serene space during this sacred transformation, ensuring that every birth story reflects the identity and values of my clients. I strive to offer not just professional guidance but also a profound sense of connection and understanding during the prenatal and postpartum period.

Hello! My name is Haley, and I am a certified full-spectrum birthworker. I am passionate about supporting all birthing bodies and holding space for life’s big moments. I love being a steady presence and firm advocate for people throughout their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experiences. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I also focus on providing inclusive care for people of all sexes, gender identities, relationship models, races, and beliefs.   I have always had an interest in the birth world, but for the first 20 years of my life, I was dedicated to pursuing my love for dance. I moved to Salt Lake City from Akron, Ohio in 2018 to get my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Ballet from the University of Utah. While I was studying for my degree, I started reading everything I could find about becoming a birthworker. My interest turned into an obsession and after dancing professionally for a year post-grad, I felt ready to take a break from dance and pursue birth work full time!    As your birth support, I lean on my intuition and learned skills to guide me. Entering your space with a regulated nervous system allows me to tap into that intuition and support you to the best of my abilities. I believe that birth is one of the most transformative life experiences and I love helping people prepare for it!   As your postpartum support, I meet you where you are and embrace the unknown with you. The postpartum journey looks different for everyone, and each day comes with new challenges and joys. I feel honored every time I am able to support a new family and watch them thrive during this vulnerable, beautiful time.    When I’m not geeking out about placentas and newborn reflexes, you can find me camping in the Uintas, doing yoga in my living room, hiking, snowboarding, dancing, singing bad karaoke at local dive bars, and spending time with my partner and our two cats.

Hello, My name is Johanna and I am a certified postpartum doula and gentle sleep coach based in Daybreak, Utah! I love supporting families in their postpartum journey. I am happy to help wherever it is needed: caring for the birthing parent or the newborn, helping with older siblings, cooking, and overall helping you navigate life with a new baby! Moreover, I offer holistic sleep support that is tailored to your family. I don't work with any separation-based sleep training methods such as Ferber and CIO. Instead, we look for gentle and realistic ways to improve your baby's sleep. In addition to my trainings, I hold a master's degree in Psychology and am CPR/first aid certified. In my free time, I love to travel, read, do pilates, and do the crossword. I mainly serve clients in and around SLC but am open to travel assignments!

Congratulations, expecting families! My name is Naija Owens, and I am a pre-certified birth doula in Salt Lake City, Utah. It would be a pleasure to assist you in your birth journey! I cherish the connection and vulnerability birth offers, and by creating a safe and compassionate environment, that's achievable! I offer non-judgmental, unbiased, and informational support. I want to walk with you through informed decision-making, autonomy, and confidence during and after the birth. I love to have fun in my life, and I want to extend that same excitement to you and your family!

I am a professionally trained and certified birth doula, postpartum doula, placenta encapsulation specialist, and childbirth educator. I also own a doula agency with an incredible team of doulas.

I believe everyone deserves and needs physical and emotional support during birth and I’d be honored to be a tool in helping you achieve the labor you deserve.

Hi! I’m Camille. I’m a DONA and Curtis Method trained Hypnodoula, a CAPPA trained postpartum doula, and a childbirth educator. I’ve been a doula for about 6 years and I fall more in love with it with every client I serve. I support birth in all forms, in all locations, and with all family systems. As your doula, my goal is to make sure you come out of your birth or postpartum experience feeling like you were empowered to make your own choices and that you were seen and heard throughout. Let’s talk soon!

Hi, I'm Dez Weyburn. I have thirteen years of doula experience and have been able to support so many kinds of births. I love working with families who want to take charge of their own birth experience, however that looks to them. In the past year, I've sort of accidentally found a niche at supporting high risk births, so I'm well versed in how most of the local hospitals deal with labor complications. Beyond that, I'm well informed about supporting physiological births. As a doula and massage therapist, I often incorporate touch in prenatal meetings, the labor and birth, and our postpartum check-in.
