your doula AND BIRTH COACH:

meet chelsea:

Hey mama! I'm the founder of Modern Mama, birth doula trained by DTI, and I've got my CPR, AED, and First Aid certification from the American Heart Association. Plus, I'm mama to one amazing little boy!

A little bit about me: You'll often find me championing women's rights and all things female empowerment. I'm a bit of an information junkie, totally hooked on books and always curious. I'm a proud Enneagram 2 with a wing 3, and yes, I'm all about gardening and whipping up some delicious, wholesome meals. Because let's face it, good health is pure gold, right? I'm a lefty, a bath enthusiast, and give me anything that smells like flowers, and I'm in heaven.

Oh, and fun fact: I've had a past life in cryptocurrency, but these days, I'm all about nurturing other badass mamas. Trust me, we're gonna click like two peas in a pod.

When I got pregnant with my son, I went on a quest for knowledge - devouring every bit of info I could find about pregnancy and birth. But seriously, why was it such a treasure hunt?

Where's the easy access to support and resources? That's where my passion for empowering women collided head-on with the birth world. Consider me part of your tribe. You're already rocking it, mama, and I’ve got your back.

questions? I’ve got answers:

What is a doula & why hire a doula?

A doula is there to support you physically & emotionally during your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Think of your doula as your pregnancy and birth coach. By providing information, resources, and guidance, your doula will help you make informed decisions throughout your journey into motherhood. Your doula is a part of your birth team, and works alongside your partner and your providers.

When should you hire a doula?

Most mamas start interviewing doulas during their 2nd trimester. The sooner you hire someone, the more support you can receive. That being said, it’s never too late to hire a doula either – I’ve been hired at 39 weeks!

What is not included in doula support?

A doula does not make decisions for you. Doulas are not medical professionals & cannot diagnose medical conditions.

What can I expect once I hire you as my birth doula?

As your doula, my goal is for you to be informed so you feel empowered to make decisions during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Every family is different in their needs and birth preferences, so we will figure out together what’s the right path for you – judgment free.

While supporting you as your birth doula, you could receive the following support, depending on the package you choose:

Free consultation with me
Help make decisions on your provider and place of birth
Help you build an educated birth plan
Text support for any and all questions throughout pregnancy and birth
Provide local referrals, product suggestions, and nutrition guidance
Prenatal meetings in your home - one focused on birth education & one on building your birth plan & postpartum prep
On call 24/7 starting at 37 weeks
In person support during labor, birth, and two hours postpartum
Postpartum visit to your home to support with breastfeeding, sleep, birth debrief & emotional support

"She made me feel confident in my own decision making and being ok with letting my birth plan evolve as more time passed."

"Chelsea is a wonderful doula who provides a plethora of knowledge and understanding in this area of care. I was fortunate enough to have one of my closest friends guide and comfort me through my second pregnancy. As I got closer to my due date, and then went past it, Chelsea was there every step of the way providing a listening ear and soundboard. She leads her expertise in the field from a place of deep appreciation and understanding in each woman’s personal birth plan. I would recommend her to any/all women who are pregnant and are looking for a doula."

“As a first time mom who was afraid of giving birth, Chelsea eased my fears by making me feel supported and empowered.”

Working with Chelsea as my doula made my entire labor and delivery experience more focused, calm, and enjoyable. As a first time mom who was afraid of giving birth, Chelsea eased my fears by making me feel supported and empowered. She took the time to prepare me for the big day, sharing a wealth of knowledge in a way that was easy to understand. She walked me through all the options that would be available to me in the process, ensuring that I felt confident making the most informed decisions for myself and my daughter. I can’t recommend Chelsea enough! She played such a pivotal role in making my birth experience everything I hoped for and more.

I felt like I was in safe hands and knew her personal experiences and understanding was sincere.

Chelsea was so supportive through my pregnancy journey. She was easy going but informative and warm. I felt like I was in safe hands and knew her personal experiences and understanding was sincere. I was able to get in touch with her at any given point and she’d provide immediate support and a wealth of information that helped me navigate. Absolutely recommend her to any expecting moms out there.
