about me

Hi there! I am a Doula and Birth Educator serving the

East Central Indiana communities, near Anderson IN, where

I live with my family.

​

I’m a mom of four fantastic children - three of whom have reached

adulthood, and one close behind. Each of my children came with

their own unique birth story. Unbeknownst to me, they would

become the first catalysts that led me into the world of birth work

and education. The other, equally important spark has been my

passion for holistic health and all things living. These passions have

guided my decision to step into the unique and beautiful world of

women’s health and healthy births.  I consider birth to be the true human epicenter of all thing’s nature and nurture.

​

So, what’s to know? I’m a doula who loves God and all things life. I have a flare for the natural and healing, though I wouldn’t consider myself fully “crunchy” by today’s standards. Natural science is real - I love it, I use it, and I advocate for it. I’m also an advocate and coach for women who are struggling with chronic illness and mental fatigue. Helping others thrive is something I care deeply about.

Loss is something I hold near and dear to my own heart. Pregnancy loss, child loss, or the loss of a close loved one near a birth cycle can be incredibly difficult. My heart is to serve through that process. I don’t shy away from the hard stuff, you can talk to me. Wherever your birth journey leads, I will walk alongside you.

I completed my training as a Birth Doula with Robin Elise Weiss, Ph.D., MPH, BDT/AdvCD(DONA), CLC, LCCE, FACCE, through the DONA International Birth Doula programs. My journey doesn’t stop at doula-ing. I continue to grow in childbirth, maternal, and newborn care - and I look forward to offering that knowledge in support of the families I serve. If you’re curious about any of this, feel free to ask.

I imagine you may have more questions - there’s a lot to explore. Please feel free to reach out.

I’d love to connect and chat!

Yours,
Doula Deb J
