I am a Mom of 4 adult children and a Mema to 4 beautiful grandchildren. I have been a RN in Labor & Delivery, NBN, Postpartum, Antepartum and Lactation for over 30 years. I am also a certified labor and postpartum doula through CAPPA since 2021. I began my business, Mema D's Doula Services in March 2021, serving expectant and new parents throughout Central Wisconsin. I strive to educate and empower couples in anticipation of the birth experience they desire. Besides my doula certification, I am also a Lamaze certified Childbirth Educator, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Newborn Care Specialist. I am CPR and NRP certified.

I wouldn’t go through birth without her! Robin brings a multitude of experience as a nurse, mother, lactation specialist and grandmother. I love how she brought her experience as a OB nurse to help navigate a complex system that doesn’t always want what we may want. She fits in like a good old friend. Whether educating or advocating, she made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable and well cared for.

I am a mom to 2 boys. My first son was born at 33 weeks via cesarean section due to severe preeclampsia. Due to that he was in the NICU for 35 days. My second son was born via VBAC with the help of having a birth doula. My passion is to teach clients to have birth empowerment. I do this by providing them with evidence based care.

Alex is an amazing and knowledgeable doula. She has given me all the information and help I needed to do a non-medicated birth confidently. Might I add he was a 9.1lb baby. She is so kind and always up for questions and helping in anyway she can. I appreciate her so much, because of Alex I didn’t approach birth with fear. I had a 12 hour labor and I remained relaxed, focused on each surge bringing me closer to meeting our child and melting into each surge. (Follow Alex to know exactly what I mean) Highly recommend working with Alex in anyway possible to gain the confidence for birth like I had.

Doula Services FAQs

What is a doula and why should you hire one?

A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.

Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Wausau, WI?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.

How much does a doula cost in Wausau, WI?

The cost of hiring a doula in Wausau, WI can vary widely depending on the experience and services offered by the doula. On average, the cost of a doula in Wausau, WI can range from $800 to $1500. It's important to research and interview several doulas to find the right fit for your needs and budget.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Wausau, WI?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a doula in Wausau, WI, depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. Some insurance companies may reimburse part or all of the cost if the doula's services are deemed medically necessary or if they are included in your plan's benefits. It is also becoming more common for Medicaid programs in some states to cover doulas, though this varies by location and program specifics. It’s best to contact your insurance provider directly to inquire about coverage for doula services and discuss any required documentation or processes for reimbursement. Additionally, some doulas offer sliding scale fees or payment plans to help make their services more accessible.

What types of doulas are for hire in Wausau, WI?

In Wausau, WI, you can find various types of doulas for hire, including birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and sometimes specialized doulas such as bereavement or fertility doulas. Birth doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Postpartum doulas assist families after the baby is born by helping with newborn care, emotional support, household tasks, and breastfeeding guidance. Some doulas may also focus on specific areas like prenatal education, high-risk pregnancies, or offering support during pregnancy loss. Availability and specialization can vary, so it's best to research local doulas or agencies to find one that fits your needs.

When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?

You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

— Aunika K., review of Rebecca Fravert January 2024

I purchased her prenatal and postnatal virtual yoga sessions and just loved them! She’s very friendly and easy going which was definitely a good perk! She was very nice about explaining how to do certain poses even though I’m pretty sure I looked like a complete GOOF! But honestly, had a great time with her and would definitely recommend her prenatal and postnatal yoga sessions!!!
