Not sure if you're talking about newborn photography as in right after birth or newborn photography as in the first few days, but I could do either. I could be open to barter! www.mamaelephantdoula.com Like · 1 · Yesterday at 6:43 pm

Thanks for all the love guys! Please feel free to call Mother Me at 773.525.6262 or visit mothermeinc.com

I second Sarah Mitchell Mace's recommendation...the Bloom class is a time commitment, but so worth it!

I worked with Rita and her second doula through Mother Me Inc. and had a great experience. They use to be located right across from Bloom but relocated to a different location close by. She lives near by too which was comforting!

Amy Ortega at Mystic a Roots Mama.

Rita DiRito for sure!

check doulamatch.net. I don't know anyone personally, but that's a great doula resource.

Maybe look up the doulas in your area with DONA.org?

I was also going to recommend Mandy French Hannah!

Freya,also look into if any Community Doula programs near you hire doulas; another option is to look at getting hired as a 'home visitor' for perinatal programs like Early Head Start; Healthy Families; Parent as Teachers (these are federally funded programs in all 50 states and territories) that start home visitation in the 2 nd trimester of pregnant women and continue until baby is 2 years old with weekly visits on topics like childbirth ed, breastfeeding, infant developmental milestones etc. Early Head Start has been cross training their home visitors as doulas for about 15 years in some regions. Here is a link to the federal funded programs which you can than find your local state or regional agency and use your doula skills both in labor and in life with expectant and new moms: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs/homevisiting/

Also, where in Texas are you? This is a federally funded community doula program that hires and pays doulas: http://www.hfihouston.org/hfis-community-doula-program-recent-graduates.aspx

for example, here is a public health doula job open in the Chicago area: http://www.ounceofprevention.org/about/jobs/1564561.htm

I've had luck searching dona.org and then interviewing doulas that looked promising

I just worked with a wonderful doula who lives in Hyde Park- Tricia Zillweger-Kuehn. She was very supportive and helpful before and during my son's birth last month at U of C hospital. Feel free to message me with questions! Check out Tree of Life Doula Services.

Thanks Julie! Hi Tiffany Norwood I'm a birth Doula and I've worked with many mothers in and outside of Hyde Park. I've assisted with births at U of C, Northwestern, Swedish Covenant, UIC, and Little Company of Mary.

I was just about to recommend Andria Bell! I am also a doula but a birth doula.

Jennifer Greenberg: she was my doula for my pregnancy with Ava, & is mine for this pregnancy. I have known her for 13 years, if you want her information I'll send it to you. She is fabulous!

Lisa Modrzejewski!

I had Karrie Latoria Viscogliosi. She was great

Nichole Churchill was phenomenal for both of my very different pregnancies. I dealt with Joanne Fortuna for placenta encapsulation & she's top notch!!
