Lauren Byler

Responds within an hour

Hey, I’m Lauren Byler, a birth and postpartum doula serving within a hour radius of Warsaw, Indiana, who’s passionate about helping families feel calm, supported, and confident through one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. I’ve always been drawn to the beauty and strength of birth, and I love being able to hold space for people as they find their own rhythm and trust in the process. My goal as a doula is to bring a steady, reassuring presence; to be someone families can lean on through the unknowns and the in-between moments. I believe every birth story is unique, and that support should feel personal and heartfelt. Being invited into this part of someone’s journey is such an honor, and it’s truly the kind of work that is so fulfilling.

Lauren was my doula for the birth of my daughter, and she was honestly incredible. From the moment I went into labor, she was calm and so reassuring. She helped me breathe through contractions, reminded me to relax my shoulders when I started tensing up, and kept telling me I was doing great when I started to doubt myself. That encouragement made such a difference. One thing that really stood out was how intuitive she was; she always seemed to know exactly what I needed without me having to say it. When things got intense, she applied counter pressure on my back and helped me change positions to get more comfortable. She also helped my husband feel involved, showing him how to support me and keeping both of us calm. She has such a comforting presence and a deep understanding of birth. I never felt judged or rushed, just completely supported. Would recommend her to anyone.

Heather Zoller

For the past 10 years, I’ve had the honor of supporting growing families through Reverent Life Services. My experience spans home births, birth centers, and hospitals, giving me a broad understanding of the many ways birth can unfold. I believe birth deserves to be approached with reverence, preparation, compassion, and respect for each family’s individual values and choices. As a birthworker and bodyworker, I draw from multiple gentle modalities, including Zero Balancing and clinical acupressure, to help support comfort, relaxation, and connection throughout the childbearing experience. Reverent Life Services is rooted in the belief that birth is more than an event—it is a profound threshold in the life of a family. In addition to doula support, I offer intentional birth services and meaningful ways to honor and preserve the experience, including placenta encapsulation, bodywork, birth art, handcrafted jewelry, and breastmilk soap. Whether you are preparing for your first birth or welcoming another member into your family, my goal is to offer knowledgeable, compassionate support while creating space for you to feel informed, empowered, and deeply cared for throughout the journey.

We had Heather as our birth doula for the home birth of our second kiddo, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Heather has a unique way of holding space for the people around her. From the very beginning, she brought a calm, reassuring presence that made us feel supported and cared for throughout the entire experience. She was incredibly supportive of my partner, always attentive to what she needed, while also helping make sure everything around us was the way it needed to be. What stood out most was how naturally Heather seemed to know when to step in and when to simply be present. She was there to support us, encourage us, and help us have the birth experience we wanted. Her compassion, attentiveness, and ability to create a sense of calm made such a difference for our family. We are incredibly grateful that Heather was there to welcome our little one into the world with us. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who will genuinely care for and support them through such an important moment in their lives.

Hello! I’m Eva, a Full-Spectrum Doula proudly serving the Michiana area (Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan). My passion for birth work began when I was a teenager and has only grown stronger over the years. Before becoming a doula, I spent many years supporting families as a full-time nanny, building deep connections with parents and children in my community. I later took my passion for birth work to Hannah’s House of Michiana, where I gained invaluable experience working closely with women in various stages of their reproductive journey. ​ In the Fall of 2022, I experienced one of the most transformative moments of my life when I welcomed my son into the world. His birth ignited a powerful, unshakable calling to support other families through their own birth and postpartum journeys. Since then, I’ve had the honor of stepping into my role as a doula in my local community. ​ I believe every person deserves to be supported through their unique birth experience with respect and compassion. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating your postpartum transition, or anything in between, I’m here to offer you non-judgmental, evidence-based support that centers you and your family. You are the expert of your body, your birth, and your choices, and my role is to help protect, advocate for, and support your vision for your journey.

Eva is not only a great doula but also a genuinely down to earth and funny person who brings joy and laughter to your pregnancy and birth. She made me feel like the sister I never had was there as well as a knowledgeable and sweet doula. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants solid support, an advocate in their corner and a jovial mood at their birth.

Mom of 5, currently enrolled in International Doula Institute, certifying in birth, postpartum, lactation counseling and childbirth education. I am honored to be able to help people through this wonderful, chaotic and unpredictable transition in their life!

I cannot recommend Karly Simpson enough! From the beginning of my pregnancy, she was a steady source of knowledge, comfort, and encouragement. She took the time to really understand my needs, my fears, and my hopes for birth. During pregnancy, her physical support was invaluable whether it was showing me positions to ease discomfort, helping me prepare my body for labor, or simply being there to check in and make sure I was taking care of myself. She offered practical tools that made such a difference, and I always felt more confident after talking with her. When labor began, she was my rock. She guided me through each contraction, suggesting positions, breathing techniques, and hands on support that made the process more manageable. She anticipated my needs before I could even ask and worked with my partner by giving him the confidence to support me. I don’t think my partner and I could have had a more magical experience together. Her calm, grounding presence helped me stay focused and empowered. She reminded me of my strength when I started to doubt myself, and she celebrated each step of progress with me. I truly felt seen, heard, and cared for every moment. Having Karly by my side made my birth experience not only more comfortable but also more meaningful. She gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed, and I am forever grateful. If you are considering a doula, look no further Karly is incredible!
