How Much Does a Birth or Postpartum Doula Cost in St. Cloud, MN?

I'm a fertility and birth doula offering evidence-based, compassionate support from conception through birth. Fertility Support Trying to conceive can feel like waiting for answers your body isn't giving you yet. I help you get to know your cycle - what it's telling you, when you're actually fertile, and what's normal versus worth asking a provider about - so you feel like an informed participant in your own fertility, not a bystander to it. My focus is natural, at-home conception through cycle tracking and fertility awareness (the FEMM method), and I also support families pursuing IUI, IVF, or surrogacy when that's the path that fits. Birth Support Ava Dickson and I work as a team, because we believe you shouldn't have to hope the right doula is available the night you go into labor - you should already know both of us, and trust both of us. You'll have us together at every prenatal visit, with direct, ongoing access to both of us throughout your pregnancy. We alternate on-call weeks, so whichever of us is with you at your birth, the other is your backup - meaning the person supporting you already knows your story, your preferences, and your fears, because we built your care plan together from day one. We work alongside your medical providers, not around them, to help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and feel calm, confident, and fully supported through labor and birth.

I'm Asia Jackson—doula, licensed social worker, and mother. My journey into this work began with my own experience as a single Black mom navigating pregnancy and early motherhood.

I am currently going into my 3rd semester in nursing school at mankato state university wanting to become a midwife but first be a labor and delivery nurse, supporting mothers and families navigate a beautiful transition.

Hello! I'm Candi and I'm a birth & postpartum doula, pre & perinatal massage therapist and bodyworker, childbirth educator, and movement specialist. I originally became a birth doula because my 3 births were incredibly traumatic and I never wanted another mom to feel alone and scared like I felt during those experiences. But having attended births since 2004, I have come to realize that birth is very different than what I originally thought. I've witnessed some of the most amazing births with the most empowered and inspiring moms. I've come to learn that birth happens best when a mom feels supported and seen, when she trusts her body and the process of birth. And I've seen how a birth affects families going into parenting - traumatized moms don't trust their instincts and look for parenting answers outside of themselves. Whereas moms who felt empowered throughout her birthing goes into parenting as a mamma bear - trusting in her instincts and protecting her littles ferociously. It is my heart's work to help mammas, and families, find their strength and empowerment, believe in themselves and their bodies capability to bring baby into the world, and to walk the journey with them, every step of the way.

I love what I Do-ULA! My passion is for women, children and families and how to keep them together. I enjoy working with individuals, families, teen parents, diverse populations, and community organization to help develop ways to tap into the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well being. I'm a Certified Doula (12 + years), IBCLC, Certified Lactation Specialist, Mentor, Yoga Instructor, and Motivational Speaker. I would love to answer any questions you may have. Available for 30 minute free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, my name is Amanda Jurrens, and I am deeply honored to walk alongside you on one of the most transformative days of your life, the day you welcome your child into the world. My journey into birth work began with nearly a decade of experience in the assisted reproductive technology industry, both professionally and personally as a three-time gestational carrier. Those experiences lit a fire in me that has only grown stronger with time. Over the years I have had the privilege of supporting many births, and each one has deepened my reverence for the incredible things the human body is capable of. I am, at heart, a total birth nerd, especially when it comes to the biomechanics of labor. I am endlessly fascinated by pelvic dynamics: how the pelvis moves, how a baby navigates through it, and how small positional shifts can open space and work with physiology rather than against it. This passion led me to complete training in the Body Ready Method, an evidence-based approach focused on preparing the body for physiologic birth. Understanding the interplay between posture, movement, and fetal positioning is not just an intellectual interest for me. It is something I bring directly to your labor support. I believe deeply in physiologic birth, in trusting the process, working with the body's wisdom, and creating the conditions for birth to unfold as naturally as possible. That said, I meet every family exactly where they are. My role is never to push an agenda but to make sure you feel informed, empowered, and genuinely supported in whatever birth looks like for you. Education, advocacy, and ensuring that every person feels truly seen, heard, and held are the cornerstones of my practice. I am committed to showing up for you with a calm, nurturing presence and continuous physical and emotional support from early labor through those first tender moments after birth. Outside of birth work, I live in Shakopee with my husband, our two wonderful middle-school-age daughters, and our dog Loki. In my free time I love cooking, traveling, reading, and pouring love into our 118-year-old home. I would be truly honored to be part of your birth journey, to geek out over the amazing mechanics of it all, and to help make this milestone everything you have dreamed it could be.

Hello! My name is Madi and I’m a birth and postpartum doula. I felt a calling to become a doula since having my daughter in 2022, but I worked in nursing for 5 years in different specialties, not knowing I would go the holistic route. ❤️ I finally took a leap of faith, attended a DONA training, and have been educating myself on all things birth since. I love to support mothers and fathers in pregnancy and beyond, and hope to bring you peace, blessings and empowerment.

Hey! I’m Saralicia Waugh, a certified birth & postpartum doula practicing in Central MN. I started out as a birth photographer in 2017 and my passion for helping families discover what birthing options are available to them so that they can make informed decisions and have an empowering birth experience led to me diving into doula support in early 2024. I then got certified as a birth and postpartum doula in March of 2025. Although I am focusing on doula support at the moment and not currently offering birth photography sessions, I am happy to use your phone to take pictures and videos of you during labor/birth so you can preserve these precious memories. I believe families should have the power to take back control over their birth experience and tune into their innate instincts so they can play an active role in their care for a family-centered, positive outcome. When I'm not at a birth, you can find me making art/designing, spending time in nature with my 3 homeschooling kids, or learning how to make new foods from scratch in my kitchen.

I'm passionate about empowering mothers through the journey of pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester. After giving birth to our first child, I decided to start my birth work journey as a birth and postpartum doula. My goal is to provide unwavering support, guiding moms to feel calm and empowered on their unique journey to motherhood. I have extensive training as a certified Body Ready Method pro, as a placenta Encapsulation specialist, and am working to complete my Certified Lactation Counselor Training with the Healthy Children's Project. Beyond my doula role, I am a mom to a 4 year old boy, a 2 year old girl, and I find joy in bonfires, gardening and a good cup of coffee.

I have been a Registered Nurse for 40 years and have taken care of both adult and pediatric patients. I have also had leadership roles in medical industries developing technologies to improve healthcare. However, throughout my career I have taken leaves of absences to take care of numerous newborns. There is nothing more in the world that I love doing, is taking care of newborns and supporting a new family.

Hello families, my name is Amaea Brown (Ah-my-yah) and I’m a trained Birth Doula in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My philosophy about birth aligns with the humanistic model. I view birth as a spiritual/holistic process and I support the use of technology. The body is intelligent and capable of doing what it’s supposed to and mother should be comfortable with how they bring life in the world. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my child, reading and nature walks.

Hi there! I’m Megan (she/her). I’m so glad you’re considering doula support for your or your partner’s upcoming birth. I believe all parents deserve judgement-free, evidence-based support during their labor, birth and postpartum. My journey to fully birth obsessed began during my first pregnancy. I needed to know all the things and hear all the stories. I quickly learned that many birthing people, especially those in marginalized communities, do not receive the care they deserve during their journey to and through parenthood. This is when I discovered doulas and the support they provide. So I hired my doula, had two supported and empowering in-hospital birth experiences and went on my way as a mom of two, working a typical 9-5 in corporate marketing— never quite shaking a new found desire to make a difference in the birth community. Fast forward a few years, endless heart-to-hearts with my family and friends about making a change and I finally enrolled in a doula training. I truly believe this is what I’m meant to do and I’m so glad to have found my way here. My goal as a birth and postpartum doula is to empower birthing people and their partners through judgment-free and evidence-based support. When I’m not doula-ing, I’m usually spending time with my husband, our two daughters and two elder pups. Before parenthood and a pandemic hit, you could find us skiing, hiking, trying new restaurants, taking on a house project we probably should have left to professionals or binging our favorite shows. Now, you’re more likely to find us at a local park, swimming pool or in our backyard. A meaningful conversation over a cup of coffee or glass of wine is the way to my heart. I am so honored to serve birth clients in Minneapolis, St. Paul and all the surrounding suburbs.

I believe that birth is one of the most instinctive, powerful experiences a woman can have, and that when you feel truly supported, you can tap into that wisdom from within. My approach to pregnancy, labor, and birth is holistic and deeply rooted in body awareness, nutrition, and trust in your body's natural process. I work with a range of tools, from breath work to hands-on comfort measures, and I meet you exactly where you are; whether you have a detailed birth plan or are still exploring your options. My role is to be your steadfast support: helping you stay informed, feel heard, and move through your birth journey with confidence and clarity.
