Hello! My name is Shay and I am a newer Doula trying to get all the experience! I have 5 years of nursing experience, and 2 years of experience with labor and delivery! Feel free to connect as I would love to chat with you and support you through one of the most important stages of life! :)

As a dedicated birth and postpartum doula in central, IA, I inspire central Iowa families to thrive through pregnancy, childbirth, parenthood, and beyond. I hold certifications as an Essential Oils birth consultant and aromatherapist, and I am currently pursuing additional credentials in Fertility health, placenta encapsulation, VBAC’s and birth trauma. My goal as a doula is to deliver personalized support, encouragement, and ensure every woman feels empowered and supported. Birth is a transformative, joyful, empowering experience, and I am committed to guiding you seamlessly through it.

As a mother of two I am in love with the world of birth and babies. One of my favorite things in the world is helping introduce new life into this world and helping families adjust to their newborn. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, and have training in lactation specialization. I hope my role in your birth/postpartum is something you're excited for and I can be someone to lean on in this incredibly emotional and exciting time. I hope that if you were to select me or not, you have a fulfilling and safe birth and your little addition to your family has a healthy debut.

Hello! My name is Erika TeGrotenhuis. I am a trained birth and postpartum doula dedicated to walking alongside families in the Des Moines area during one of life’s most powerful transitions. I believe both birth and the postpartum period are more than medical experiences — they are transformative journeys that deserve compassionate, informed, and unwavering support. What drew me to doula work was hearing about my sister’s amazing experience of having a doula at my nephew's birth. I have always been fascinated by anything babies and birth-related, and to me, there is nothing more beautiful than watching life be brought into this world. I am a very passionate and goal-oriented person, and my biggest hope is to be able to help moms advocate for themselves and to be a part of helping them have the most empowering and prepared birth experience they can. My approach is grounded in respect, inclusivity, and the belief that every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, and strong. It would be an honor to support you as you welcome your baby into the world. Outside of doula work, I enjoy singing, playing piano, snuggling with my pup, hanging out with my friends, and reading.

Hello! My name is Crystal, and as a wife, mom of three, and registered nurse of almost 20 years, I’ve always been drawn to helping others. But it was the alarming reality of our nation’s maternal morbidity and mortality rate that truly ignited my passion. Despite our advanced medical care, too many women are suffering, and I believe it's due to a lack of holistic support. I'm here to change that. As a labor and postpartum doula and childbirth educator, I'm committed to providing compassionate care and evidence-based information to empower women and families. Let's work together to create a safer, more supportive birthing experience.

My name is Carter and I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula. My journey started when I had my son, and had a doula with him. He was in the NICU 76 days. During which time I had a lot of time to reflect on my birth, and how much I appreciated having a doula with me. I wanted to help families this way, and shift a change from working in mental health services. My doula style is one that puts emphasis on knowledge, empowerment, and advocacy. My service is rooted in the belief that every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported navigating the incredible world of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. I am here to give compassionate support for your family throughout this transformative time. I am honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to supporting you and your family with the care and respect you deserve.
