Illinois Medicaid–Approved Provider (Self-Pay Also Accepted)
My name is Parul Patel, and I am an Illinois Medicaid–approved Birth and Postpartum Doula, nurse, and holistic practitioner devoted to transformative, whole-person care. My work is grounded in the belief that healing occurs when the mind, body, and spirit are supported together, especially during life’s most pivotal transitions.
Drawing from my professional background in nursing, mental health, and naturopathic alternative medicine, I bring a balanced and integrative approach to doula care—one that honors both evidence-based practice and ancestral, intuitive wisdom. My lived experience and years of hands-on support allow me to meet clients where they are, offering care that is compassionate, informed, and deeply respectful.
Birth Doula Support
As a Birth Doula, I support individuals and families throughout pregnancy and labor by providing continuous physical, emotional, and informational support. My care is rooted in non-judgment, advocacy, and presence. I utilize a holistic toolkit that may include:
• Comfort measures and therapeutic touch
• Labor positioning and movement
• Breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness
• Non-pharmacological pain management techniques
• Informed decision-making support
My goal is to help clients feel safe, empowered, and heard, while honoring the body’s natural birthing process and the family’s unique vision for birth.
Postpartum Doula Support
In the postpartum period, I provide nurturing, practical, and emotionally attuned support as families adjust to life with a newborn. My postpartum services include:
• Newborn care education and support
• Emotional and mental health check-ins
• Support with postpartum mood disorders
• Guidance through identity shifts and family dynamics
• Gentle nutritional and holistic wellness support
I understand that postpartum healing is not linear, and I hold space for families with patience, compassion, and care.
Life Doula & Transitional Support
As a Life Doula, I support individuals through major life transitions beyond birth. I serve as a grounded, neutral space holder, offering presence without judgment and support without agenda. Whether navigating singlehood, relationships, career changes, grief, or personal transformation, I walk alongside clients as they move through change with clarity and resilience.
My Commitment
I am deeply committed to serving underserved and marginalized communities and addressing disparities in maternal and mental health. Through Divine Wellness, my mission is to create safe, supportive spaces where individuals feel empowered, informed, and connected to their inner wisdom.
Why I Accept Medicaid
I believe access to compassionate, high-quality doula care should not be limited by income or circumstance. Accepting Illinois Medicaid allows me to serve families who are often overlooked while helping reduce disparities in maternal outcomes.
My Philosophy of Care
Birth, healing, and life transitions are sacred experiences. My role is not to direct, but to support—offering knowledge, presence, and advocacy so clients can move forward feeling confident and supported.
Who I Serve
I support first-time parents, experienced parents, single parents, blended families, and individuals seeking holistic and culturally responsive care.
