🌿 Exciting News! 🌿

After spending some time doing doula shift work and continuing to support families behind the scenes, I’m thrilled to share that I’m now opening up space to take on private clients again! 💛

Being a doula has always been more than a profession for me — it’s truly a calling. Holding space, offering gentle guidance, and witnessing the incredible strength of birthing families is such an honor.

I’m so looking forward to offering personalized, one-on-one support through pregnancy, birth, and those precious postpartum days. 🌸

If you or someone you know is expecting and would value compassionate, evidence-based care, I’d love to connect and chat about how I can support your journey.

Here’s to gentle care, new beginnings, and the beautiful power of birth. ✨

With love,
Chelsea 🤍

I never imagined I would become a doula. Holding space for women in the most vulnerable moment in their lives.

Witnessing the transformation from woman to mother over and over.

Every birth has completely changed my life and has turned this work into my passion.

There is nothing I would rather do than climb every mountain contraction and then walk back down with you. Squeezing your hips till
my arms are numb. Staring into your eyes telling you you CAN do this when you feel like you can’t.

If you are new here. Hello! If you are a past client welcome back!

I’m Chelsea, certified birth doula, postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor, wife and mother to three kiddos.

When I’m not doing doula work you can find me in the kitchen cooking a new recipe or out in the garden. I love a great cup of coffee, the outdoors, and traveling.

Doula work has led to me learn and witness about the short falls in our health system. From Conception to birth, birth to postpartum.

I’m committed to helping you experience the birth you desire, to educate and empower you to make the best decisions for you and your baby. You deserve to feel completely supported every step of the way. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be your doula.

Thanks for being here! I’m so happy to have you.

It's world breastfeeding week! I have been blessed to breastfeed both my boys with minimal challenges. That isn't true for many women. Breastfeeding is HARD. As a lactation counselor and doula, it is the number one thing my clients need help with postpartum. I haven't always been able to help them to the fullest because they need the knowledge of an IBCLC. Surrounding yourself with people who support you in your breastfeeding journey is so important. I strive to do this for every client and woman who wants to breastfeed.

This year's campaign is: Protect Breastfeeding. A Shared Responsibility. Let's celebrate together by posting a picture of us breastfeeding.

This was my absolute favorite pregnancy and breastfeeding pillow! BBHUGME is the best!

Mamas, let me know if you want to try it before you buy it!

CD(DONA) Birth doula! It only took me two years to finally turn in my certification packet but I did it! Next up, postpartum certification. There is no stopping me now. This is only the beginning!

It feels so good to have found my passion. I cherish every time I get to hold space, to support families physically and emotionally. To witness the power inside women, to share such a raw and intimate moment of birthing a baby. Mothers are magic ✨

The pandemic has disrupted birth plans and left American families living in Germany with little to no support postpartum.

Although I can't support my clients in the hospital sometimes clients realize it's postpartum where they need me the most. The SUPPORT to successfully breastfeed their baby where they otherwise would have felt no choice but to feed them formula.

As a doula, I am here to SUPPORT you and whatever you decide is best for your baby!

Let's talk birth balls! You might be asking, what is a birth ball?

A birth ball is just an exercise ball. A pretty amazing tool if I do say so myself! A tool that you can utilize during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

✨Pregnancy✨

During pregnancy, you can utilize your birth ball to help the baby get into a favorable position for birth.

✨Labor✨

A birth ball in labor is like a supported squat. It's a great tool to open the hips and move your pelvis as the baby navigates how to descend through the pelvis. Try moves like hip circles, bouncing, and figure eights!

✨Postpartum✨

Bouncing a fussing baby on the birth ball mimicks the same lull baby felt in utero as you walked around. Voilá! No more fussing baby!

The best part about being a doula is giving my clients the knowledge and information to be educated and empowered in their decisions! To advocate for the birth experience they always dreamed of. Knowledge is power! 🤓📚💪🏼

My Story

Welcome to Labouring Love Doula! I am a wife, a mother, a Navy Veteran, a birth and postpartum doula, a certified lactation counselor, and the KMC Military Birth Resource Network chapter leader. My husband and I moved to Germany after living in San Diego for the past eight years. We miss the beach and the great year-round weather, but wouldn't trade the opportunities we have had to travel all over Europe. I decided I wanted to become a birth worker after I experienced first hand the comfort and support a doula can provide to a family. When I found out, we were expecting. I immediately knew that I wanted to bring our child into the world without any medical intervention. Unfortunately, my birth didn't go entirely how I imagined it would. But, having a doula made all the difference to my husband and me. She held a space for us during that special moment in our lives. Since my first son was born, I have been motivated and inspired to help other women achieve the birth they want.
