Birth and Postpartum Doula serving Indianapolis and Surrounding Areas
Pregnancy and Birth Doula Support
Dorothea is a Carrot Fertility accepted Doula!
A birth doula is an extra layer of steady, informed support for you and your whole team—never a replacement for your partner or support person, but an extension of them. Whether you’re a first-time parent trying to navigate the unknowns or you’re part of a surrogacy journey with multiple people holding space in different ways, having someone who understands the process and knows you can make all the difference. I’m like a personalized, real-life Google in the room—one who understands your values, your hopes, and your unique situation. I help you make sense of what’s happening in the moment, offer comfort techniques, guide decision-making, and support emotional well-being for everyone involved. My role is to help you feel grounded, connected, and confident—so your birth experience feels supported, respected, and truly yours.
