I have assisted in all types of births at various locations (hospital births and birthing center births). I have also helped countless families with my postpartum care for parents and baby. I offer other services including postpartum care, newborn nannying (day and night!!), advocacy, etc. I serve the entire United States as a traveling doula! I specialize in different labor methods to help reduce labor pains, quicken labor and make it more comfortable. I use different breathing techniques, exercises, laboring positions, massages, pressure points and more! A fun fact about me is that I worked in Law Enforcement before changing career paths to be a Doula!
Juliet was a great support system for me as a single mom going through labor and delivery with no support system. She traveled over 600 miles to be with me on the best day of my life. I would recommend her tremendously! Thank you for traveling to me and helping me!

Adrian is a U.S. Army veteran and advocate for social justice, community development and birth equity. She believes that every woman has the right to access support and evidence-based information, which are the keys to having an empowered birth experience. She is professionally trained in childbirth, postpartum care, lactation, and COVID-19 community education and is a certified birth doula through DONA International and a certified lactation specialist. Founder of Motherland Doula Co., Adrian serves families in Central Iowa and provides in-person and virtual education, support and practical guidance. Her services are geared to support families physically, mentally and emotionally during their most precious season of life. When not involved in birth work, Adrian enjoys gardening, traveling and spending time with her family and friends.
Adrian was an incredible support throughout my pregnancy and at my birth. She was attentive, and taught me so much about my prenatal health, the birth process, nutrition, and more. She checked in frequently, and followed up with my health. I was a gestational diabetic, and had never dealt with that before. She was very knowledgeable and reassuring. When I went into labor, we walked, we danced, we laughed, and we prayed. She respected my birth plan. And it was beautiful, unmedicated birth! Having Adrian by my side was a bright, loving and necessary part of a whole beautiful birth experience! She also took care to follow me for my first 6 weeks postpartum, answering any questions and encouraging me and my motherhood.

Hello, My name is Alyssa Wagler and I am a birth doula supporting clients in the southeast Iowa region. I LOVE birth! I have 4 children of my own and have supported over 40 births so far. After having a doula for myself, I understood the importance of moms getting education, support, and advocacy during pregnancy and labor. That's when I trained to be a doula with Stillbirthday academy. I have since done training with Spinning Babies as well, to help further my understanding of comfort measures while also helping labor to progress. It is a truly humbling privilege and honor to support moms and dads as they transition into parenthood. Bringing new life into this world is a gift and I'd be honored to guide you.
We had a wonderful experience with Alyssa, from the prenatal visits, to labor and delivery, and even postpartum support. I appreciated all that she gave us to think about in advance, including the birth plan, and also considerations for our first daughter when preparing for our 2nd. Her calm support during labor was phenomenal! I would 100% recommend her!

Hi, welcome to Love Bean Doula! I'm originally from the Chicagoland area, and moved to Iowa in 1996. My husband and I have 3 sons, 1 daughter, 1 grandson and a zoo of pets. I have always been fascinated by all aspects of birth. The beauty of what a woman’s body can do naturally, the pain a woman can endure, the strength that is shown throughout each stage of pregnancy, labor/delivery, and the awesome miracle that birth is. I recognize that each birth, each baby, and each birthing person are proudly unique in their own way, and every pregnancy is deserving of compassionate support. My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and connected to your birth experience. I’m committed to holding space for you and your feelings, to helping you overcome fears you may have surrounding pregnancy and childbirth, and replacing them with confidence, calm, and readiness.
Amanda was so nice and very helpful during my pregnancy and after. She knew what she was talking about, and she gave me really good advice. She was also very polite and understanding. During my C-Section, she talked to me the whole time. She was a wonderful person with everything, and she was so amazing with my son.

I’m so thankful we had Abby as our doula for our first pregnancy, especially since we had twins! Her reliance upon the Lord and knowledge and also emotional support made all the difference in our pregnancy and labor and delivery journey and also my recovery and our transition after! She did such a good job empowering my husband as well. I also appreciate that she provided food for me after the delivery, and afterward, she sent us our birth story from her perspective and also photos she’d taken during labor and delivery. If she hadn’t taken them, I wouldn’t have any photos of that special, sacred time! I highly recommend her services! You won’t regret it!

Hello! My name is Crystal, and as a wife, mom of three, and registered nurse, I’ve always been drawn to helping others. But it was the alarming reality of our nation’s maternal morbidity and mortality rate that truly ignited my passion. Despite our advanced medical care, too many women are suffering, and I believe it's due to a lack of holistic support. I'm here to change that. As a labor and postpartum doula and childbirth educator, I'm committed to providing compassionate care and evidence-based information to empower women and families. Let's work together to create a safer, more supportive birthing experience.
I have not been able to purchase services yet but I have experienced the care that Crystal provides. When home from maternity leave she brought me meals and when my 10 month old had open heart surgery she came to visit us hours away. She is truly a joy to have along for the journey 💛

“I wish I knew about Bornbir sooner, as it's so important to surround yourself with experts who understand during those overwhelming moments and share evidence-based information.”
“I found my birth doula on Bornbir. After submitting my needs, I was able to connect with several awesome doulas that are within a local distance from me.”
