Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in St. Cloud, MN

My name is Cherie Schmidt. I am a licensed RN in the state of Minnesota. I retired a year ago as a triage nurse in an OB/GYN office. I worked there for 11 years. I have worked in Neonatal ICU, Newborn Nursery, did mother/baby nursing, and was a board certified lactation consultant and practiced for 10 years with inpatient and outpatient clients. I have been a doula for close friends. The goal is to have a healthy mom, baby, and help the partner get through pregnancy, childbirth, and new parenting. I also want to help children get through the experience of being a new sibling. I have been attended hundreds of deliveries and have taught prenatal classes. This position gives me joy. I want to understand your goals and ease the experience before, during, and after childbirth for the whole family! It would be my privilege to help your family during this journey!

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.

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.

Your friendly neighborhood birth doula here to support YOUR birth! Daisy Doula MN attends hospitals, birth centers, and home births. A doula works alongside you in the prenatal, birthing time, and postpartum. I am a birth doula residing in South Minneapolis. I have a lot of interests and passions that led me to find birthwork. I find it perfectly intersects science and data, bodywork and movement, direct advocacy, and human connection. I love to laugh and cry with you, holding space for your emotions and experiences. I enjoy sharing my knowledge while being curious about everything I don’t know. After completing a B.S. at the University of Minnesota and a stint living in France, I started working as a consultant for our local utility companies, implementing an energy efficiency program for new home construction. By this time I was deep into a yoga practice and took a yoga teacher training at Yess Yoga in 2018. I learned so much and it exposed me to many holistic practices within the 8 limbs of yoga. Meanwhile, my all-female consulting team started expecting. They would come to the office with so much new information and questions after doctor/midwife appointments, not to mention what everyone was saying on the internet! I was so curious about it all! I discovered what a doula was and that people did it as a profession. Not long after I am happy to say I found a doula training and haven’t looked back.
