Hi my name is Melinda Durant and I am a certified postpartum doula located in Milwaukee, WI. I am also a mother to 9 children. I believe I've experienced everything that pregnancy and labor had to offer. Which is one of the reasons that I have a passion for helping women and offering that individualized support that each family needs. I have an Early Childhood Education background as well and my hobbies are knitting, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.

Ms. Melinda is a sweetheart. She was the very best doula anyone can ask for. She helped me out after I had given birth the my baby boy. She took me to my postpartum doctor visit because I had a c - section n I could barely move. She stayed with me n took care of my baby at night so I could get some rest n heal. She feed him cleaned him cared for him like he was her own. She was such a blessing. I swear an angel sent from God. I highly recommend 10/10

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!

Lexi is attentive, patient, kind, and empathetic. She will truly listen and take your goals and concerns into consideration. She advocates and supports you in any way she can and has always been professional while sharing all of the knowledge she has regarding pregnancy, postpartum, and all things newborns and infants. Her calm demeanor makes her a natural caregiver as a doula and a nanny. We are so lucky to have found Lexi!

Izabel Looney

5 years of experience

Moving to Wisconsin November 1, 2025. Izabel (she/her) is a birth doula trained through DONA International and a postpartum doula trained through CAPPA. She is in the final stages of completing her formal certifications for both. Izabel made her way into birth work in 2021 due to a strong desire to be with families at a monumental time and in 2024 added her transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) certifications to better support birthing parents who want more options around pain management. Supporting you and your family through something as special as birth makes her heart sing. She looks forward to supporting your family’s journey through pregnancy and throughout the postpartum period of time. In her free time she loves to hike and go white water kayaking and is an avid reader. Izabel expresses her creativity through crocheting, painting, and metalwork, and she loves cooking for others and sharing a love of food with those in her community.

If I could give more stars I would. She went above and beyond in all aspects. She gave me so much knowledge and power to have some control in my daughter’s birth, even when it felt like everything was out of control. I delivered my daughter early at 34 weeks, and our amazing doula drove back from out of state (over 10 hours) to make it to the birth. I went from panic to calm as she began giving more tools to aid in comfort and calming, she also was able to give my family support to better support me. I will recommend this doula again and again, I would’ve been a complete wreck without her and the empowerment she gave me. To this day, she’s sent Mother’s Day cards, checked in, and she’s really been such a blessing to us.

Tenia Ruffin

3 years of experience

Hi, I’m Tenia, and I’m stepping into the sacred role of a doula. My journey in holistic healing, Reiki, life coaching and maternal wellness has led me to this work. I’m passionate about supporting mothers emotionally, physically, and mentally through their pregnancy and birth experiences. My focus is on intuitive, holistic care, blending mindfulness and traditional doula practices to nurture and empower moms during this transformative time. My greatest teachers are my three beautiful daughters. They inspire me every day to create a healthy, holistic, and happy home—one rooted in nature’s wisdom, balance, and deep self-trust. I'm excited to get to support and learn more about you and your family as you navigate this wonderful and empowering journey.

Tenia was our doula during my first pregnancy. We couldn't have asked for a better person to have in our corner. She was very informative and was with us throughout the whole experience. Tenia did a great job with providing resources and Education as needed while allowing us to make our own decisions. She was not only there for me, but also my partner. She was there supporting and guiding both of us throughout the birthing and postpartum. Her approach was genuine and effective. Throughout my pregnancy she provided resources on how to manage morning sickness, provided pelvic floor workouts, and educated me in ways to get baby in the right position for birth. We were very lucky to have had her expertise as first time parents! Thank you Tenia for going above and beyond our expectations!

I’ve been doing this work for almost 10 years and am still amazed by the strength of parents. It’s been my honour to witness this stage of life.

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!

Chandra Lewis

6 years of experience

Hello! I'm Chandra, a full spectrum doula, childbirth educator, grief support specialist, pregnancy and infant loss advocate, and fierce maternal and infant health champion. I believe birth work is activism and that EVERY birthing person deserves care, choice, and justice! I am a Wife, Triple Negative Breast Cancer Survivor, and extremely passionate about serving the community by reimagining how doula services are offered to marginalized communities. When not working as a doula, you can find me serving as the executive director of a community-based doula program, teaching private and group workshops as a childbirth educator, and supporting families during pregnancy and infant loss.

Chandra is absolutely amazing! This is our first pregnancy and she has helped my partner and I so much. She has provided the best support, education, guidance, encouragement, knowledge, and so much more throughout our pregnancy. We are so thankful she is our Doula and are so thankful for all of her expertise, knowledge, care and support. We are so thankful she will be continuing to support us through the rest of the pregnancy and birth! We couldn’t imagine doing this without her!

Abigail Wolf

Welcome! My name is Abigail, and I am an (AWWS) certified birth doula and the heart and hands behind Providence Doula Services, LLC. Though the official launch of Providence Doula Services is fairly recent, my love for birth work and babies is not! With each birth I witness and every mamma I have the privilege of serving, my awe and passion for God's incredible design deepens. I grew up in Wisconsin and am proud to serve families all across Sheboygan County and beyond. I come from a family of five children and deeply cherish my family, my faith in Jesus Christ, and of course, my morning coffee (or evening coffee if I'm heading to a birth)! It is truly an honor to walk alongside families during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum season. I am continually humbled and grateful for the opportunity to support mothers during one of the most sacred and life-changing moments of their lives

For my first baby, I assumed the nurses would guide us through labor, but the experience felt stressful and chaotic, and my husband felt helpless. Having Abbie with us for our second birth completely changed that experience. She created a calm, comforting environment, guided me through breathing and natural pain relief techniques, and equipped my husband with the tools and confidence to truly support me during labor. Her gentle presence, steady advocacy, and expertise helped transform my labor into a peaceful, empowering, fully unmedicated birth experience. I will always be grateful for the care she gave our family.

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 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.

Alex Hoeft

12 years of experience

Experienced doula, childbirth educator, and Certified Lactation Counselor. Registered nurse with experience in labor and delivery, pediatrics, and pre and post surgical care. Homeschool mama to five children. I have experience in the hospital setting as well as the homebirth setting. My goal is to spread the truth about childbirth and support women and families on their birthing journey.

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.

Leah Clark

Every childbearing person deserves to feel supported, prepared, and unafraid as they navigate the wonders of pregnancy and childbirth. I’m both passionate and absolutely fascinated by this right of passage, and it is my highest privilege to guide others within their own birth stories. I became interested in childbirth education and birthwork when I was pregnant with our first baby. My partner and I attended a Bradley Method course kind of as a fluke, and it was life-changing. I did not realize how much I did not know! In addition to completing the Bradley Method course and experiencing the birth of my two children, I have worked in child and infant care for many years, including private nanny services, NatureSense Childcare Center, and The Madison Isthmus Montesorri Nedo (or nursery). I completed my Full Spectrum Doula Training, including prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum care, as well as training in fetal positioning and lactation support with Cornerstone Birthwork Training, and am certified in Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid through the Red Cross. I specialize in whole-food nutrition and dietary considerations for those with autoimmune disease and chronic illness. I live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Crohn’s Disease and have been developing and collecting recipes and home remedies for over 10 years! I’m an expert swaddler, baby bather, sleep wrangler, lullaby lilter, routine guru, space optimizing organizer, Story reader, and love to color and play Legos with kid siblings.

Leah was there for me 24/7 if I needed her or had a question, and has been 100% there for us from prenatal to postpartum. She kept me grounded and connected to what was happening to my body throughout my pregnancy and was knowledgeable about what I could do to help ease any pain or discomfort. Leah thoroughly prepared me for and guided me through each stage of labor and taught me how to recognize when it was time to go to the hospital. Leah offered so much support and reminded me that this is my pregnancy, my body, and while in the hospital, my voice is important. She made sure I understood that I had the right to ask questions and to say no at any point. She made me feel empowered. After our baby was born, Leah helped us feel confident in our abilities and has been an invaluable presence in our household for these first months. We are so happy to have had her by our side through this amazing experience.

Brianna Ortiz

2 years of experience

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.
