Jules was a Godsend to our family! Welcoming twin boys (our first, and last babies) was A LOT! Jules so calmly walked into the chaos and helped us identify methods and mindsets to help us be successful in the first three months as a family of four. She is an immense resource, especially when it comes to twins. She never batted an eye taking care of our boys. We have nothing but AMAZING things to stay about her!

As a certified doula of color with extensive training in lactation support, birth, postpartum care, and infant feeding (including baby-led weaning), I am deeply committed to providing safe and empowering care for women and all birthing individuals. Recognizing the historical disparities in modern medicine for women of color, my practice centers on ensuring you, your baby, and your family feel secure and well-supported throughout your prenatal, birthing, and postpartum journey. I reside in the Milwaukee area but am willing to travel within the state of Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

After having two traumatic birth experiences caused by negligent doctors I decided for my third and final pregnancy that I would take a leap of faith and go with a doula to advocate for me and make sure my final birth experience would be on MY terms. With the help of Brianna and my midwife team, I had an extremely peaceful and empowering unmedicated birth experience with no interventions from any doctor. I had complete and total faith and trust in Brianna to make decisions that I would make after extensive conversations and consultations about what my ideal birth experience would look like. Brianna took all of my stress and worry away and I was able to 100% focus on the flows of active labor and she supported me through it 100%. And she not only supported me through birth, but the days that followed. I wish I had gone this route with my previous two but how lucky am I that I got to have this experience the third time around.

Hi, my name is Alexia and I am a birth doula. First, I’d like to say congratulations! This is such a beautiful journey you are starting. I have been doing childcare for about 8 years. I previously worked as a lead teacher in infant/toddler classrooms. Once I decided it was time for change, I became a daycare director. During that time, I found my love for being a support system for the parents and families. I am currently in nursing school, hoping to become a midwife. I also work as a nanny. I absolutely love what I do, and I hope you choose me to embark on this journey with you. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

My journey to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor began after experiencing the lack of support from medical staff when my first son was born. This personal experience ignited my passion to ensure that other mothers do not feel the same sense of isolation and overwhelm. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive support to new mothers. My goal is to help women heal from their birth experience, feel confident in their new role, and not feel alone during this crucial time. Through my services, I strive to create a nurturing environment where mothers can thrive, bond with their babies, and access the guidance they need for a successful breastfeeding journey.

Recent review

Jaime McNamara was my doula for son in 2023 and she was absolutely amazing helped me through my labor with lots of swaying and counter pressure to work through the contractions even with things went differently then we all planned she stayed and made sure my husband was okay and that me and baby were okay as well. Then after baby came she continued to help myself and baby by preforming Craniosacral therapy and baby massage as well. Then now in 2025 she is still working with me as my doula again and she is also doing some much needed prenatal message that has been a life safer for me this pregnancy. She has such a layed back personality but will do exactly what you want to help you get the best outcomes possible and she will stand up for want you labor to be . She an awesome person to be standing in your corner during the beautiful process of labor and birth
