Hello! I'm Aubrey and I am a Birth Doula serving greater chicagoland! My interest in birth has been a consistent theme throughout my life. Long before starting my own family, I found myself asking every little detail of the birth stories shared by friends and family. However, my true passion for the subject emerged during my own pregnancy and through the birth of my daughter. It was then that I dove into a myriad of birth resources, podcasts, and books, which is a habit that continues to this day! As a firm believer in the power of education, I advocate for individuals to approach their birthing experiences with confidence, armed with knowledge. This philosophy led me to pursue a career as a doula, where I can actively support and empower others during their own amazing journeys!

Hi! I'm Cheyanna Warren, a birth doula who's been loving on moms for 3 years! I'm 25 and Wisconsin-born and raised. I have a wonderful Husband, Kyle, and together we have two boys, Wyatt and Mason. I always knew I belonged somewhere in the birth world, but I wasn't sure where, until I was introduced to the idea of being a doula, and that's when I knew this is where I was meant to be! Helping Moms achieve a positive birth experience is such a passion of mine. I pride myself on the relationships I build with my families. I believe the first step in creating a safe birth space is to have full trust and comfort with those in your birthing journey. To achieve this, I take away that typical doula client "standard" and create a true lasting friendship so you know you can feel supported in a judgment-free zone! When I'm not attending Happy birthday parties, you'll find me playing with my kiddos, cooking, or watching reality TV!

I’m a Christian wife, mother, and RN who discovered a passion for birth work after having my own babies. I have been a birth doula since 2022 and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) since 2025. My midwifery practice is focused on faith and trust in the design of a woman’s and baby’s bodies to navigate the birth process. I work with my clients so that they can make informed decisions and consent. I consider myself a minimalist and love allowing the process unfold undisturbed unless absolutely necessary. As a birth doula, I have the most experience in attending unmedicated labors and do love to work with women who have this goal. However, I do still attend medicated births, planned or unplanned. I help my clients experience true informed consent so that they are empowered in their birth choices. In the labor room, I amplify their voice. I’m honored to witness every family’s birth that I have a chance to work with!

I am the proud owner of Grounded Mama LLC, and I have completed the Holistic Doula Certification through The Motrona. I hold a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management and a master’s degree in healthcare administration. My passion for supporting families during birth and postpartum periods stems from my own journey with infertility. My husband and I faced the challenges of infertility for six years before conceiving our oldest daughter through IVF and our youngest daughter naturally. Each of my pregnancies and births was different from what I had imagined. I entered motherhood with a sense of naivety and quickly encountered postpartum depression and anxiety. I struggled during my early motherhood journey because I did not realize how important it was to feel grounded in order to be the best version of myself as a mom. With Grounded Mama Doula Services, my goal is to uplift mothers and be a part of their support system. I aim to help them feel grounded throughout their motherhood journey, both during birth and postpartum, by addressing their needs and wants.

Beverleigh was a great support for me during the end of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She provided a lot of knowledge and useful information. She has a very nurturing presence and always made me feel comfortable. During labor her knowledge helped me weigh my choices for medical intervention and she was a calming presence.

We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and care that Kiara provided during her time with our family. From the very beginning, she was attentive, compassionate, and deeply committed to making this transition as smooth and joyful as possible. Her presence brought a sense of calm and confidence to our household, and she quickly became an invaluable part of our family’s journey. Kiara's knowledge and experience were evident in every interaction, but what stood out most was her kindness and genuine care. Whether it was answering late night questions, helping us navigate newborn routines, or simply offering reassurance during overwhelming moments, she was phenomenal in every way. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who goes above and beyond. She didn’t just provide a service, she gave us peace of mind and became a wonderful addition to our lives.

I’ve spent over a decade as a labor and delivery nurse inside hospital walls—standing beside women as monitors beeped, doctors rushed, and plans changed in an instant. But the moments that stuck with me weren’t just the medical ones. They were the moments when a woman felt completely alone—even with a room full of people. When she nodded through the doctor’s explanation but cried later because she didn’t understand what any of it meant for her and her baby. When she whispered, “I just want to enjoy this… but I don’t even know how anymore.” That’s why I created Hakuna Matata Mamas. To offer the kind of support I knew was missing: the kind that holds your hand through the hard, teaches you how to cope with the unknown, and reminds you that you still get to have a story you’re proud to share. I work with high-risk mamas who feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under them—who are doing their best to stay strong, but secretly just want someone to see behind the brave face. Through personalized hospital prep, nervous system tools, and real, compassionate guidance, I help you feel courageous and connected—so when the big day comes, it’s not just something you “get through.” It’s the best day of your life. Even if it didn’t go according to plan. Because how you feel during your birth matters. And you deserve to feel safe, supported, and sure of yourself—every step of the way.

Cassandra is extremely dedicated to her work and focused on putting her patients first. She is very knowledgeable about pregnancy and the birthing process and is the perfect person to have in your corner to help you feel prepared for the journey. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she really makes sure to consider all options with you to find the best fit. Every time I talk to her I feel more calm and prepared for my upcoming birth. I don't know what I would do without her!

Working with Susan for my first pregnancy was the best thing I did for my family. She immediately made me feel seen and cared for. Susan is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. She helped me not only prepare my body but also my mind for labor. She made home visits and virtual visits so I always felt supported and helped my husband understand birth and how to support me and our baby. We ended up with an unscheduled induction and with Susan’s experience I was able to have as natural of a birth as possible. She gave me the peace of mind during labor to ensure my birth plan was being followed and allowed me to just listen to my body and focus on birth. I had a great first pregnancy/birth experience and couldn’t have done it without Susan!
