I’m Dana - Birth and Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Babywearing Educator

02/11/2026

I truly wish I could take every family on for free. I really do.

Birth work is heart work for me and if love paid the bills, we’d be set. 🫶🏼

I love this work. I love showing up at 2am. I love the "this might be TMI" texts. I love watching you become a parent. It never gets old for me.

But I also have two little humans at home who need me. This is how I contribute to my family.

If working together feels aligned but finances are the hurdle, let’s talk.

📋 Add a doula fund to your registry.
💵 Ask about payment plans.
🐄 Let’s explore trades or barters.

I care deeply about access to support. And I’m always open to a real conversation about it. ❤️

What did you/will you have in the background of your birth?

🧘🏻‍♀️Do you want chill vibes?
🎶Frat party hits?
⚡️Harry Potter?
👯‍♀️Friends?

Or something else?

✨ So so grateful I got to set up a table next to AMAZING women at the ONO Women's Networking Pop Up at the beautiful on Saturday!

✨I made heartfelt connections, shared with others what doulas do and a list of local doulas I know and love, I got to see two of my doula babies, I shared about and the wonderful things they are doing, then I left early to attend a birth!

🩷 Early morning on Sunday a baby girl was born! I love finding out if baby is a boy or girl at births - the surprise is worth the wait!

☕️🎃 Spent the morning (and well into the afternoon) with some birth buddies!

If you're pregnant (or postpartum) and in need of a doula there are some seriously amazing ones in our area!

☕️📍Also, if you haven't been to it's a lovely spot to hang and the drinks are wonderful!
