Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience working with Midwest Doulas! Couldn't recommend more highly. Justine (and team!) was extremely informative and assuring, and was a wonderful resource during my partner's pregnancy. We worked closely with Justine and Ale, both of whom were responsive to our questions throughout pregnancy, early labor, birth, and afterwards. Midwest Doulas looked out for us the entire process, helped translate 'big' medical topics into understandable concepts, provided a huge amount of resources and coaching, and helped us have the kind of birth we wanted. Extremely happy working with Midwest Doulas!

Thank you so much Tyler. We were so happy to be your doulas. What a beautiful birth this was. Thank you for your trust!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a long birth experience and Ale really helped make that experience as easy as possible for both me and my husband. My initial birth plan changed but Ale was with us until the end to help welcome our beautiful baby boy. Thank you so much Ale!

Thank you so much Andrea. It was amazing to be your doula. You are fierce! ❤️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 2021: Working with the team at Midwest Doulas was amazing and benefited each member of our family. Their attention to detail and passion for their work is evident in the way they treat their clients. I truly believe that having Justine at our birth allowed me to have the experience I was seeking. This was my first baby, and I didn’t know what to expect. Ale arrived after our daughter was born to take the placenta for encapsulation (we didn't have to do or provide her with anything) and Molly has been so helpful as our postpartum Doula. They really provide a complete experience. Update 2024: We had our second child and the easiest decision that we made was working with Midwest Doulas again. Justine talked to us about considering a home birth this time around and we couldn't be happier. She recommended Aly at North Star Midwifery who provided us with the utmost care during pregnancy, birth, and especially postpartum (where other providers fall short). Justine and Aly work together as an amazing team. They made my partner and I feel seen, heard, and valued as parents. When we reached our last visit, Justine truly felt like family, and it was hard to see her go.

Thank you so much Heather. You are so freaking amazing! We were so honored to be your doulas!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are grateful that Midwest Doulas has supported us through two pregnancies and births. Justine played a huge role in making both births joyful, empowering experiences. Although we hoped to go into spontaneous labor, both our babies needed to arrive via induction. Thanks to Justine’s expertise and guidance, we felt confident and calm, able to embrace the change of plans without fear or doubt. Justine took the time to understand what was most important to us, ultimately ensuring we avoided unwanted interventions by helping navigate our options and providing expert support during labor. Justine and her team made sure we were well informed and supported at every turn. She is such a wonderful part of our family’s story!

Thank you so much Jane, Being your Doula has been an absolute joy and a privilege!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I have had the joy and pleasure to work with Ale (and Justine) with both our babies and we can't say enough good things. I call Ale an Earth Angel because she made SUCH an impact in my ability to birth in a way that was aligned and honored our babies . She helped me channel my intuition, she is peaceful, present and having their support was the best decision we've made regarding both births. HIRE THEM you will not regret it!

Lexi, I want to express just how truly amazing it has been to be a part of your team during the beautiful journey of your pregnancies and births. It has been an honor to share in such meaningful moments with you, thank you so much for your kind words.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t thank Justine enough for the incredible support she provided during the birth of my first child. My husband wasn’t able to be there because our baby came early, and I was overwhelmed. Justine stepped in and was by my side the entire time, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was a savior in every sense of the word—calm, reassuring, and so knowledgeable. Justine constantly explained what was happening at each stage and made sure I understood my options, which gave me a sense of control during a stressful situation. She also encouraged me to keep moving and trying different positions, which I truly believe helped speed up my labor. Her presence was so comforting, and she created a positive, empowering environment during a time when I felt most vulnerable. I’m forever grateful for the care and guidance Justine provided, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled doula.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Justine and Ale, both of whom were amazing. They were knowledgeable, supportive, warm, and great advocates! What really stood out was how well-connected Justine is to other birth professionals, offering spot-on recommendations for everything we needed along the way. We loved having this team be a part of our birth, and highly recommend them to anyone.

Thank you so much Victoria. It was amazing to be your doula. You are amazing! ❤️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have worked with Justine and her team for both of our births and could not be happier with both of the experiences. For our first daughter, Justine recommended we take a class at BirthEd then work with her team on our birth plan. This was the most powerful advice as it gave us the knowledge and understanding of exactly what happens in birth (an anxiety provoking black hole if you haven't done it before!) and for both of our baby girls Justine advocated for us and enabled us to have the birth experience we wanted. She checked in regularly as our due date approached, was available immediately when my labor started at 2am and provided clear instructions to both myself and my partner so we never had to make decisions or think about anything other than bringing our baby into the world. Justine is AMAZING - cannot recommend her and her team enough.

Thank you beautiful, it’s been the best help your growing family! ❤️❤️❤️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with the incredibke Justine & her team, and I can't recommend her enough. From our first meeting, she made me feel at ease, truly listening to my concerns and preferences. Her warmth and genuine care shined through in every interaction. Throughout my pregnancy, she was a constant source of support, providing invaluable information and guidance. She was always just a text away, ready to answer questions or offer encouragement. Her communication skills are exceptional; she ensured I felt informed and empowered at every stage. During labor, her presence was a game-changer. She anticipated my needs, provided comfort measures, and kept me focused. Her calming energy made a stressful experience feel manageable and safe. In the days following the birth, she continued to check in, offering resources and reassurance. It was clear she genuinely cared about my well-being and my family's transition. Overall, my doula experience was nothing short of transformative. She was not just a guide; she became a cherished part of my journey into motherhood. If you're seeking someone who is personable, attentive, and an expert communicator, look no further. Justine is truly exceptional.

Thank you so much for this gorgeous testimonial. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your birth journey. ❤️❤️❤️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing to hire Midwest Doulas was the best decision I made for my birth experience. Even though I knew they supported many other women, Justine made me feel like I was her number one priority during the whole experience. Not only did she help with easing my physical discomfort, but she looked out for us emotionally when there was a complication during birth. She made me feel safe during a scary moment in time and helped us process it after. Her postpartum check ins pushed me to advocate for myself and see my provider, catching a couple of issues before they got dangerous. There were multiple times when I thought, “This moment alone was worth the cost of hiring a doula.” I can’t recommend them enough.
