Hello! My name is Celeste. My desire to become a doula started when I felt called to help and support women through their journey of birth before, during, and after. To this day, I believe my own experience of childbirth with my daughter would have been positively different if I had the opportunity of having a doula. Creating life and bringing it into this world is a superpower women have, and I want to empower other women from all walks of life through this physical, emotional, and spiritual process. Everyone’s childbirth story is different, and I enjoy hearing and learning from their experiences. I love working with babies and have many years of experience, as I worked at a daycare before, during, and after my daughter was born. I am naturally an empathetic and nurturing woman and find joy in making sure everyone around me is well and healthy. My partner and I have big families and we enjoy spending lots of quality time with everyone and creating new memories for my 5 year old daughter, Alayna. Although I love being surrounded by my family and friends, I also enjoy my alone time occasionally. I believe it is important to spend time with yourself to recharge and fill your own cup, so you can then help fill other’s cups. Dancing, reading, and enjoying a nice cup of coffee in the sun are some of my favorite things to do.

Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am a full-time doula proudly serving families throughout Indiana and surrounding communities. Born and raised in Indianapolis, I am also a mother of four beautiful children who have inspired my passion for birth work and maternal support. My journey to becoming a doula was deeply personal. After experiencing trauma during three of my own births, I realized how important compassionate, informed, and empowering support truly is during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I chose to turn my pain into purpose by helping other mothers feel seen, heard, educated, and supported throughout their birthing journey. As a doula, my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering experience for every family I serve. I believe every mother deserves respectful care, emotional support, and an advocate by her side. Through my work, I strive to transform trauma into healing and blessings by giving back to the community and supporting families during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Hi, I’m Evelyn, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and DONA certified birth doula who is passionate about helping families feel confident, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. My work began with lactation support, where I discovered how much families benefit from having someone in their corner who listens without judgment and helps them understand their options. As a doula, I’m able to expand that support even further by helping families prepare for birth, navigate the unexpected, advocate for themselves, and feel empowered in their decisions. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or adding another little one to your family, my goal is for you to feel heard, respected, reassured, and never alone. My philosophy is simple: your birth and feeding journey belong to you.

My goal is to help parents feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way. Grant + Leah 2/20/2026 "Mari was assigned to us as a replacement doula when our original doula had a conflicting delivery. Mari immediately reached out and was flexible to our needs in early labor. My wife was laboring hard in triage for 7 hours (there was a major rush at the hospital, we couldn't get a room or her planned epidural for that long) and doesn't know how she would have coped without Mari. She immediately brought a calm presence to our situation while also helping us get the situation under control and manage contractions with various techniques. Mari also helped us execute on our birth plan and encouraged us to get rest whenever possible. We would recommend Mari to anybody seeking a doula."
