Amanda’s classes were essential for my pregnancy and postnatal education. Her six week course was in-depth and covered labor, deliver, birth and baby care. I had a clear idea of how I wanted labor to go and all that changed once I went into labor. Her classes enabled me and my partner to make informed decisions in the moment that were not driven by fear. I would also highly recommend booking lactation support from Amanda for the first week you are home and beyond. Even if you don’t think you need it, you will! She came to our house the first week we were home which was amazing for a recovering mama. Her continued support has been wonderful for a first time parent.

Accepts insurance

Hi, I’m Katie—an IBCLC dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I received my lactation training through Metropolitan State University of Denver and have spent the past eight years working as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting more than 100 families through some of the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I come to lactation work with a foundation in Nutrition, holding a bachelor’s degree from UNC.  I have three kiddos of my own—each with their own unique breastfeeding journey. These experiences deepen my understanding that every family’s path is different, and every goal is valid. I truly love being welcomed into people’s homes and consider the postpartum period a sacred space. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and meeting families exactly where they are—whether they’re navigating challenges, exploring their feeding options, or simply seeking reassurance. When I’m not working with families, you can find me snowboarding, traveling, reading, cooking, and hanging out with my little crew, hopefully outside, having an adventure!

I am so glad that I found Katie! My partner and I initially hired her as a doula for the birth of our first baby, and while the birth did not go how we hoped (instead of a full term vaginal birth, she came a month early and was delivered via C-section), Katie was so helpful and supportive leading up to the birth, and came to the hospital to support us immediately after delivery as well, which helped immensely in feeling calmer during such a shocking experience. I had many challenges with breastfeeding, due to the pre-term birth, C-section delivery, and a tongue tie, so I decided to work with Katie as a lactation consultant postpartum as well. I am now at 6 months of breastfeeding and I honestly don't know if I would have made it this far without Katie's support. In addition to coming over for weighted feeds and help with positions and advice on topics ranging from breastfeeding in public to baby-wearing, Katie was always available to provide support when I was having breastfeeding-related meltdowns. She is so warm and understanding, always providing validation, gentle suggestions, and working with me in my specific circumstances to figure out how to balance my needs in the moment with my long-term breastfeeding goals. I'm so grateful to Katie and cannot recommend her enough!

Karly was an amazing doula and lactation consultant for my wife. She went above and beyond and was crucial in helping my wife feel more confident in breastfeeding before leaving the hospital. She was also a very kind and calming presence during labor. We can't thank her enough.

Tamika was such a light in a dark moment for me and my husband. We are first-time parents and felt lost and overwhelmed about the journey ahead of us. I put out a desparate call for help and she responded so promptly and was at my apartment within 2 hours of our initial conversation. She came to us with a clear passion to help families and babies in need. Tamika was able to educate us and provide us with tools to help ease stress moving forward. Tamika is professional, personable, and took time to learn about our family and allowed us to feel seen in our trials and sucesses so far. We look forward to meeting with her again and continuing to learn from her!

Hi, I’m Robin., a birth doula offering a deep respect for your choices, your instincts, and the kind of birth experience that matters to you. I am a Certified Birth Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Perinatal Patient Advocate, a HypnoDoula, and GentleBirth Childbirth Educator. I bring more than 12 years of experience supporting women and families. I accept Medicaid and private insurance. I believe birth is an experience you can prepare for—not just something that happens to you. My goal is for you to enter labor feeling informed, supported, and lovingly cared for, whatever choices you make. I’m also a CASA, a volunteer at my local hospital, and deeply invested in the families and communities of NWA. I accept Medicaid and private insurance, and an inability to pay would never prohibit me from helping a family. I support women and families throughout the beautiful Ozarks.

I cannot recommend Robin enough! She was the perfect addition to my birth team! She helped me recognize, evaluate and process possible situations that could arise during labor/delivery which helped me go into my birth experience with as much knowledge as possible. She has a very calming presence yet is willing and ready to “go to bat” for her clients when necessary to help them have the best birth experience possible! The amount of time and energy Robin devotes to her clients is unmatched- From answering all of my questions, to providing research articles to help me make informed decisions, to guiding me through various helpful movements and positions prior to and throughout labor and documenting the birth of my daughter. I am so glad I had Robin by my side throughout my pregnancy, labor and delivery and I will definitely be using her services again for any future babies we have.

I am here to walk by your side and support you as you plan for and navigate your infant feeding journey and to help you find what works best for you and your baby. I completed my lactation education through a rigorous training through UC San Diego through the Lactation Pathway 2 educational certificate program. I spent hundreds of hours of clinical training under the guidance of longtime IBCLC’s/lactation consultants at Kaiser Santa Rosa in their pediatric clinic providing hands on care to families with newborns and infants. I can help you navigate and customize plans based on your individual needs and infant feeding goals with issues such as: improving baby’s latch, breastfeeding positions, questions/concerns on infant weight gain or milk transfer, supply issues, nipple or breast pain, clogged ducts or mastitis, combination feeding and supplementation, pumping, back to work plans, introducing solids, night weaning, pregnancy and breastfeeding, tandem feeds, food allergies and breastfeeding, medication use in breastfeeding, or weaning. I have personal experience navigating infant food allergies while breastfeeding as well as navigating caring for a medically complex child. I approach caring for my clients in a respectful, nonjudgmental, holistic, and comprehensive manner. I welcome all families and parenting adults to my practice!

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! She was an absolute rock star during the birth of my baby, who arrived 6 weeks early. Through all the uncertainty and stress, Michelle was there every step of the way to keep the calm and peace, offering unwavering support and reassurance. She was a true rock for my family, ensuring I was taken care of and advocating for me throughout the process—especially during the scarier moments when doctors weren’t explaining things clearly. Michelle stepped in to make sure we understood everything. Her compassionate presence made a world of difference. On top of that, she captured beautiful, meaningful pictures when we first brought our baby home from the NICU. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and supportive doula.

Hello! Most couples are looking for a positive environment where you feel respected, safe, and ready to welcome your new baby. I understand that as your doula I help set the tone and bring energy into your space that will be part of your family's blueprint forever. I have a compassionate, client-centered approach. I bring warmth, love, and extensive knowledge to each family as well as their providers. I bring strong advocacy skills while reducing fear and fostering confidence. I also provide lactation consultations and all modalities of massage including prenatal and postpartum.

Recent review

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)

Welcome to Mother Trees. I am a Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapist., located in Newcastle, WA. Birthing a new soul is a sacred rite of passage. In our busy world we have forgotten how to be fully present to receive this gift. Unfortunately, most hospital births feel far from empowering or sacred. Deliveries are often induced, creating a faster paced timeline that can make communication between mom and baby more confusing and difficult. Taking time to slow down and listen deeply to your baby, your partner and yourself can be immensely rewarding. It is not what we normally do, so having a guide is helpful. This is the service I’ve been providing to new parents for more than 30 years. I have worked with thousands of breastfeeding families in hospital and home settings. It brings me great joy to provide support and direction during your transition into parenting.

Susan has a natural ability to make you feel at ease, which was exactly what me and my baby needed during a challenging time with feeding. Susan brought a sense of calm into our household when we were at our most stressed and hectic. Susan is not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly empathetic and caring. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions with patience, and provided clear, practical guidance along with consistent follow up support. Her gentle, reassuring approach has made me feel supported and empowered throughout my breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend Susan as a lactation consultant!

Ana is a blessing! We really needed help after our newborn was released from the NICU and we couldn’t have asked for a better lactation consultant. She is very warm and inviting, she helps you think and process all the different aspects of breastfeeding in a way that is digestible. I emailed her in between appointments when we were having some issues and she responded quickly and is a great brainstorming partner. She also answers all the random questions that we have as our little one gets into different phases. 100% would recommend she really does help you find your peace!
