As a Traditional Homebirth Companion, I bring the tradition of the wise woman to your birth. For more years than we can count or recollect, this was the way women brought their babies into the world - at home, surrounded by women who knew birth, knew physiology and knew how to support it. Women who knew time-honored skills, traditions, plants and nutrition. Before regulation, laws and governments got in the way, women were birthing safely, on their own terms. Taught and mentored by elders who are bringing back these traditions and skills, I’ve stepped into this work to provide more options and possibilities in my community, so that babies are born safely into their parents’ arms, and so that women are treated with dignity and respect.

I am a DONA-trained Birth and Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Support Counselor, offering holistic doula care to birthing people during the prenatal, birth and postpartum stages of their birth journey.

Hey! I’m Torisaun, I am a holistic women’s wellness practitioner, Traditional birth attendant, wombologist, herbalist & massage therapist I work with women who are having VBACS, c sections and any family that would love womb healing during their services. As a traditional birth attendant/ birthkeeper I provide clinical support for those who aren’t attending ob/gyn appointments & are having a freebirth. (Also moms who are having hospital births) Do you know what Womb healing is? It’s improving your sacral chakra/ energetic & physical womb space by releasing fears, mental and spiritual setbacks so you can have the birth you desire. (Which is important so you can have the best birth experience possible- because you deserve it!) I also create herbal pregnancies & afterbirth.

My path to becoming a doula started five years ago during my own pregnancy. The experience of watching my baby girl’s weekly development sparked a passion that only grew stronger over time. Once I settled into motherhood, I fully committed to doula training, earning certifications as a Postpartum Doula, Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Perinatal Nutrition Educator. I’ve also specialized in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Birth Workers, which allows me to offer comprehensive support tailored to each family’s unique needs. Friends describe me as bubbly and outgoing, with a calming presence. In a client’s home, I quickly sense when to offer simplicity and hold space, or when conversation is needed. Balancing life as a mom and doula, I’ve learned the importance of self-care, finding joy in drawing, painting, and crafts. My daughter and I love exploring our community, with the Indianapolis Children’s Museum being a favorite spot.

My name is Sethia Mitchell, and I am a DONA certified doula and childbirth educator with Community Health Network. My background in healthcare, domestic violence advocacy, and child advocacy has shaped my commitment to helping people feel heard, respected, and supported. I bring that commitment to the families I serve, along with a warm heart, a listening ear, and a passion for helping parents feel more informed and confident as they prepare to welcome their baby. My philosophy as a doula is that every family deserves compassionate support that honors their individual needs, values, and choices. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey can bring joy, uncertainty, and moments of vulnerability. My goal is to walk alongside you, offer encouragement and education, and help you feel comfortable asking questions and expressing your wishes to your care team. I believe your voice matters, your feelings deserve space, and you should be treated with dignity throughout your experience. It is a privilege to support you as you discover what strength and parenthood look like for you.

Wife, homeschooling mama of two, and a passionate advocate for empowered, informed birth. My own motherhood journey sparked a deep calling to walk alongside other families as they prepare to bring new life into the world. I believe that every person deserves to feel respected, heard, and supported in their birth experience—whether that’s in a hospital, birth center, or at home. My goal as your doula is to help you feel calm, confident, and cared for as you navigate this powerful chapter of life.

Master of Science, Nutrition Specialist, Herbalist, Chef, Teacher, and Mother, are all callings that I may answer to, yet I am far more than just a list of titles. I live as a ball of energy aligned in harmony. Within and without I have grown to sea Whealth--- that is wholistic nourishment of my mind, body, soul and most importantly the womb. What we feed on (mentally, physically, and spiritually) is what we teach the generations that we create. From my experience within this journey of life, living, and healing, I now know that the secrets to Whealth all lie in the mindset. Just as our temples eat for its energy needs, our minds eat in a system of energy exchange. Thus, the things that we choose to feed on very much determines the quality of life that we see on this Earth. I am here as a resource for all who may follow. Let us mindfully feed and heal wholistically. Your abundance awaits.

I'm a birth doula, a mom of two young kids, a Licensed Social Worker, and an artist. I work at the edge of birth and becoming—the places where women cross from one version of themselves into another. I hold space for women preparing for birth (especially those carrying fear or grief from a previous experience), mothers navigating the postpartum crossing, and any other significant threshold moment for anyone who needs to be held, not fixed. This work is not about making you brave. It's about witnessing you—exactly as you are—while you move through what's here. My approach is all about empowerment through education, holding space for sacred moments, and for processing those threshold moments after the fact, as well! I love incorporating somatic body awareness and trust in my trauma-informed practice. I’d love to walk alongside you during your threshold moments!

Cieara Jake offers Doula services to all, who are in need of fertility, prenatal, birth, postpartum and infant feeding and loss support. As a Full-Spectrum Doula I am very passionate about providing heartfelt emotional, physical, mental and informational support to persons on their journey. My mission is to create an environment of advocacy, so those who may not believe they have a voice, will be heard. I want all my clients to know that they are worthy of respect and dignity. And their hopes and dreams surrounding their birth experience, matters. Within my practice I will help my clients identify their inner strength of bringing forth the miracle of life. From the moment of conception to the moment of seeing and holding their baby for the first time. With my intriguing interest in the impeccable work of Doulas and the difference they make in our communities has geared my drive. My passion is to strive towards making a difference in my community and offer services that will transform lives that may not have support or access to resources due to social and economical inequalities. I want to make a difference in my community that represents Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) especially, women. Within these particular communities there is an alarming and increased rate of maternal and infant mortality. Indiana faces one of the most severe maternal health crises in the nation, recording 31.4 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births—a rate among the highest in the United States, according to the March of Dimes. And also infant mortality in Indiana extends far beyond the delivery room—it measures every baby who doesn't make it to their first birthday. Each year, about 500 Hoosier families experience this devastating loss, representing a rate of 1 out of roughly every 160 babies (6.3 per 1,000 live births).Blessings From Above is determined to help decrease these rates within its communities by providing exceptional support to all during their pregnancy, labor/birth and postpartum periods. When searching for services you will have the opportunity of choosing between either experiencing my Full-Spectrum Doula services, certain number of specific services or a single service package that will best meet you and your family needs. The various packages will be listed under the Doula packages tab. Blessings From Above was established in 2020. My passion of becoming a Doula started back in December of 2018 when I was a participant in Indiana’s Nurse-Family Partnership program. This program is for economically disadvantaged women who are pregnant with their first child. The program is designed to help support first-time mothers less than 28 weeks with support, advice and information. Each participant is assigned to a personal nurse which meets twice a month up until their baby turns two years of age . After completion of the program I was motivated to help support other birthing persons the way I was supported in my community. So, I began to do research about the profession of a Doula and the role they play in lives of people who are trying to conceive, pregnancy, in labor, delivery, postpartum and infant feeding and I knew in that very moment this was my calling. I knew I wanted to be apart of supporting a community of birthing persons along their journey of giving birth to a healthy baby.

Hello my name is Emma Maxey and I have been a certified birth doula for about two years. I am located in the Plainfield, IN area and eager to support expecting parents! I have great experience with pregnancy, with myself having naturally birthed my first three children (two of which are twins) and my last baby which I birthed prematurely via c-section. I have also helped clients achieve their desired birth outcome. My personal focus is on the importance of providing clients with informed consent so that we can achieve their perfect birth experience. It is also important to me to provide support to those that are experiencing pregnancy complications, as this group of people need extensive support where they may not be getting it. I have experience in bereavement care as well. I have also been working as a breastfeeding counselor. My pricing is extremely reasonable, willing to work with client on price if necessary in order to provide the support they deserve.
