I’m nearing the end of my CAPPA Postpartum Doula training. This work is truly my passion, helping people fulfills something immeasurable within me.

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a Milwaukee based Birth & Postpartum Doula with over 10 years of experience supporting new and growing families. My focus is providing support and education so that the choices you make are the right ones for you. I support births in hospital, birth centers, or at home! I'm very familiar with the hospitals in Milwaukee County and surrounding areas. I have experience with medicated and unmedicated vaginal birth, cesareans, VBAC/TOLAC, twins, IVF, loss, and surrogacy. In addition to Doula services, I am a trauma informed provider and certified lactation consultant. I am currently finishing my training to become a Childbirth Educator and IBCLC!

I am the proud owner of Grounded Mama LLC, and I have completed the Holistic Doula Certification through The Motrona. I hold a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management and a master’s degree in healthcare administration. My passion for supporting families during birth and postpartum periods stems from my own journey with infertility. My husband and I faced the challenges of infertility for six years before conceiving our oldest daughter through IVF and our youngest daughter naturally. Each of my pregnancies and births was different from what I had imagined. I entered motherhood with a sense of naivety and quickly encountered postpartum depression and anxiety. I struggled during my early motherhood journey because I did not realize how important it was to feel grounded in order to be the best version of myself as a mom. With Grounded Mama Doula Services, my goal is to uplift mothers and be a part of their support system. I aim to help them feel grounded throughout their motherhood journey, both during birth and postpartum, by addressing their needs and wants.

https://rootsandrestdoula.my.canva.site/ Hi, all! My name is Kiara and I am a full-spectrum certified doula, certified lactation specialist, and student lactation consultant — and a mom to three amazing boys — I’m passionate about walking beside families through every part of their journey. My work is rooted in compassion, education, and the belief that every parent deserves gentle, informed support. The name Roots & Rest came from my belief that families thrive when they are grounded in support and given time to rest. My work as a doula and lactation professional centers around helping parents feel steady, cared for, and confident as they have grow their roots in parenthood.

I’ve spent over a decade as a labor and delivery nurse inside hospital walls—standing beside women as monitors beeped, doctors rushed, and plans changed in an instant. But the moments that stuck with me weren’t just the medical ones. They were the moments when a woman felt completely alone—even with a room full of people. When she nodded through the doctor’s explanation but cried later because she didn’t understand what any of it meant for her and her baby. When she whispered, “I just want to enjoy this… but I don’t even know how anymore.” That’s why I created Hakuna Matata Mamas. To offer the kind of support I knew was missing: the kind that holds your hand through the hard, teaches you how to cope with the unknown, and reminds you that you still get to have a story you’re proud to share. I work with high-risk mamas who feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under them—who are doing their best to stay strong, but secretly just want someone to see behind the brave face. Through personalized hospital prep, nervous system tools, and real, compassionate guidance, I help you feel courageous and connected—so when the big day comes, it’s not just something you “get through.” It’s the best day of your life. Even if it didn’t go according to plan. Because how you feel during your birth matters. And you deserve to feel safe, supported, and sure of yourself—every step of the way.

I’m a Christian wife, mother, and RN who discovered a passion for birth work after having my own babies. I have been a birth doula since 2022 and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) since 2025. My midwifery practice is focused on faith and trust in the design of a woman’s and baby’s bodies to navigate the birth process. I work with my clients so that they can make informed decisions and consent. I consider myself a minimalist and love allowing the process unfold undisturbed unless absolutely necessary. As a birth doula, I have the most experience in attending unmedicated labors and do love to work with women who have this goal. However, I do still attend medicated births, planned or unplanned. I help my clients experience true informed consent so that they are empowered in their birth choices. In the labor room, I amplify their voice. I’m honored to witness every family’s birth that I have a chance to work with!

Hi my name is Melinda Durant and I am a birth and 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.

I have an Early Childhood Education background as well and my hobbies are knitting, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.

Lynn began her indie doula and photography practice in 2018. Her background is in reproductive health and non profits as an educator, direct care professional, and in state policy and project management. She has a BA in Gender Studies, is a certified birth, postpartum, and full spectrum doula, a childbirth educator, and a member of the Queer Doula Network. She hangs her fanny pack in Andersonville where she lives with her wife Mercedes -- a deep-hearted middle school teacher she's spellbound by, and with whom she shares the creative practice called home. Weaving together modern and traditional approaches, her support with families focuses on body literacy and agency, trauma and healing, educating and preparing for birth and postpartum, collective care, caretaking and parenting, honoring transitions, and nurturing relationships (including sex and intimacy). Knowledge building is a collaborative mixture of education, experience, and intuition. At the heart of it: you belong to yourself and are the expert of your own experience. She is committed to trauma-informed practices and co-creating safer spaces by being body- and sex-positive, anti-racist, pro-choice, queer and gender affirming, and welcoming to solo, poly, blended, or communal families. Your care should be designed for your comfort, needs, and wants. It should see you in your full context – your stage of life, unique body, lived experience, culture, community, ability, desires, and dreams.

Hi, I'm Evelyn – a mama to two beautiful kids, a nature lover, and an advocate for women. While I didn’t plan to become a doula or childbirth educator, I now know that it’s my true calling. Growing up in a close-knit Mexican household, I was always drawn to community and mentorship, especially for girls. After earning my degrees in psychology and Spanish, I worked with survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. Becoming a mom ignited my deep curiosity about pregnancy and birth. I became fascinated by the process, eager to learn everything about labor and advocate for my own birth experience. After having profoundly empowering births, I realized that every woman deserves a birth that is powerful and free from trauma. This curiosity soon grew into a passion for supporting other women in my community. In my journey as a home visitor, working with Spanish-speaking moms, I saw firsthand the lack of resources and perinatal education available to them. It fueled my desire to help these women advocate for themselves, find their voice, and feel empowered in their birth experiences. After the birth of my daughter, I took a step back to reflect on my passions, and that’s when I discovered the amazing combination of doula and childbirth educator. And so, La Vid was born – a community for mothers to feel rooted and empowered, from pregnancy through motherhood. I believe in the strength and connection of women, and my mission is to empower you through your entire journey, so you never have to walk alone.

Peace, my name is Shantique Smith-Hayes and I am a Certified Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula in Milwaukee, WI. I am the Wife to an amazing Husband, and Mother of two lovely Daughters- ages 8 and almost 3. In my free time I love to lay out on my couch, in front of my big patio windows, cup of tea in hand, sun beaming, watching Nature do its thing. I enjoy traveling, reading books that make me feel good, painting, letting my inner child shine, and indulging in flavorful foods– Soul Food, Jamaican Food, Carribean Food, Mexican Food, you name it! I am authentically and purposefully myself. I take pride in having such a bright, Sunflower Aura. My philosophy is that every mother and baby, regardless of circumstances at time of conception, should have access to quality, personal, supportive care. As a Holistic Doula, my approach to pregnancy and childbirth recognizes that a woman's body is naturally designed to conceive, nourish, and give birth to their baby(ies). Our wombs are our centers and do far more than produce babies: they give birth to the power in us. I am a firm believer that the more you know, the less you fear. In my practice, I review the different phases of labor, positioning of baby and pain management techniques to help cope with the discomforts of contractions. I educate women of their birthing rights and help create an individualized birth plan, ensuring that they feel confident advocating for themselves and their healthy birthing experience. I offer 1:1 individualized prenatal wellness education on topics such as: prenatal care, pregnancy related physical and emotional changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum changes, parenting roles, and newborn care and safety. My doula work involves gentle practices such as breathwork and gentle stretching, utilizing herbal medicine, taking meditative walks in nature, intuitive painting, aromacaress therapy with infused oils and essential oils, and gentle womb massages. Each of these practices has a unique way of showing us who we really are- unmasked, vulnerable, courageous and bold. These practices equip women with the tools necessary for a safe, successful and memorable pregnancy and birthing experience; all of which in turn reduces the risk of undesirable pregnancies and birth outcomes in black maternal health.

Hi! I'm Cheyanna Warren, a birth doula who's been loving on moms for 3 years! I'm 25 and Wisconsin-born and raised. I have a wonderful Husband, Kyle, and together we have two boys, Wyatt and Mason. I always knew I belonged somewhere in the birth world, but I wasn't sure where, until I was introduced to the idea of being a doula, and that's when I knew this is where I was meant to be! Helping Moms achieve a positive birth experience is such a passion of mine. I pride myself on the relationships I build with my families. I believe the first step in creating a safe birth space is to have full trust and comfort with those in your birthing journey. To achieve this, I take away that typical doula client "standard" and create a true lasting friendship so you know you can feel supported in a judgment-free zone! When I'm not attending Happy birthday parties, you'll find me playing with my kiddos, cooking, or watching reality TV!

Hi! My name is Shauna and I am a DONA International certified birth doula located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago - Woodstock to be exact. It is my honor to support families that are giving birth in home, birth center and hospital settings. I have five years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology, which facilitated my love for all things pregnancy related. While I thoroughly enjoyed supporting my patients in a clinical setting during their prenatal and postpartum phases, I truly wanted to be more involved in supporting women throughout the birthing process. I 100% believe all women should be supported and have the right to birth as they want, whatever that looks like for them. I believe women's bodies are remarkable and amazing. As a mom of three myself, I know first hand the power a woman's body has, from growing a baby, to delivering that baby, and then to be able to nourish that baby. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks with my husband and our two dogs. I also enjoy reading and staying up-to-date on all things pregnancy, birth and lactation related.
