Megan began her journey into doula work after the birth of her first son. Inspired and excited by the idea of supporting families during their pregnancies and births she began her work in 2011. Trading the late night world of restaurant management for waking up in the middle of the night for clients was a thrill! After 5 years as an independent doula Megan began to build a team of doulas to help support more clients. Her focus is now on leading her team and helping women and families prepare and navigate the world of birth, babies and parenting.

Her trainings include:

• Motherwit Birth doula
• Pro Doula trained doula
• Nourri Source Marraine
• Homeopathy for Birth with MICH
• Nutrition for Pregnancy with LMU
• Babywearing Level 1 with CBS
• Rebozo for Birth with Gena Kirby
• CPR with Jessica West

Megan is on a mission to make sure that mothers are well supported, that families have the resources and tools they need to succeed as parents, and to help make the journey easier with less judgment and more love.

When she isn’t answering emails and teaching prenatal classes with Birds and Bees, she’s writing, raising her two boys with a feminist twist, and sipping on microbrews.

Valerie is passionate about birth and brings that energy and enthusiasm to every family she works with. After the birth of her second son she was thrust into the magical world of birth work, leaving behind her previous career as a chef.

Valerie’s trainings include:

• Motherwit trained doula

• Rebozo with Gena Kirby 

When Valerie isn’t heading off to births, she can be found cooking delicious meals for our clients, running after her two boys, or at the ballet studio working on her plies.

Kimberly has an interest in photography and is a trained musician. When she isn’t working with clients she is raising her two children and freelancing in graphic design.  

Nancy began her journey into doula work in 2018, after being thrust into the universe of twin parenting. Now a mom of three, with very different birth experiences behind her, she believes that evidence based information and emotional support are essential for transitioning to new parenthood. With a degree in anthropology, women’s studies and film, and her experience as a professional photographer, Nancy brings her grounded and positive energy to every family she works with. 

Her trainings include:

In her spare time (as a mom of twins, we’re not sure what that looks like!) Nancy spends her time enjoying tennis, camping, and good conversation. A prairie girl originally, she loves beaches and forests and lakes- she’s happiest outdoors.

Paige had an early introduction into doula work after attending her sister’s birth in 2011.

From a very young age, Catalina discovered a passion for working with women and children. Through her 10+ years of work in social service she gained much experience working with marginalized communities, being an ally, and advocate for youth, women, and children.
