The Lake Bluff Doula

Hi, there! I'm Betsy Weber (she/her). I began my birth work as a birth and postpartum doula back in 2009. In all, I've attended over 100 home, birth center, and hospital births. I most recently became certified in the Body Ready Method. I'm a certified  DONA birth doula and an infant massage specialist. I've received training as a DONA postpartum doula, ICEA Childbirth Educator,  breastfeeding counselor, certified nurse assistant, placenta encapsulation specialist, and in neonatal resuscitation. Parenting has been my life's greatest joy. But, as a new mom, I kept asking myself, "Shouldn't this be easier?" The Lake Bluff Doula is my answer to that question. I hope to make it easier for you!

See a menu of my services here. I do not take private doula clients. I work for a local non-profit that offers free doula services for families who qualify for Medicaid, WIC, or have other risk factors. Check here to see if you qualify for WIC and email me here if you'd like to learn more.    

Modern schedules, far-flung families, and information overload have all made becoming a parent a little more stressful.  My goal is to give you the most up-to-date, evidence based information so that you can make informed decisions for your family.  Plus all the love and support you need to thrive as a new parent. I'm here for you.
