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.

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.

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.

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.
