Doula Training

• Bebo Mia, July 2025

Type of practice: Solo practice

Clients per month: 1 to 2 births and 1 to 2 postpartum families

Postpartum limits/restrictions: I prefer a smoke-free environment during visits. If smoking occurs in the home, I ask that it be done outside and that indoor spaces are aired out prior to support sessions.

Attends hospital births? Some Hospitals
I support hospital births at Northwestern Medicine Huntley, Advocate Sherman (Elgin), and Advocate Good Shepherd (Barrington). I work collaboratively with hospital staff while staying centered on your experience, helping you feel informed, supported, and confident throughout your birth. I offer steady, nonjudgmental support for all types of hospital births, including inductions, epidurals, and cesareans.

Attends birth center births? No Birth Centers
I’m supportive of birth center care; however, there are limited birth center options within my current service radius, so I primarily focus on hospital births and home births in this area.

Attends home births? Some Home Births
I attend planned home births when a licensed midwife or licensed provider is present. I provide continuous support and collaborate within the care team to support a safe, calm, and informed birth experience.

Training Documentation

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I spent 9 years as a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters McHenry County, supporting and mentoring youth in my community. I also served with AmeriCorps VISTA working in food security. My lived experience as a gestational surrogate deeply shapes how I support families, with empathy, respect, and an understanding of the emotional complexity of pregnancy and birth.
