Tracey Louis-Fernand

But more, much more than this, I Doula my way My style of Birth Coaching. My style of support is quite informal. I provide a caring, calm, confidential and non-judgmental service. We will have a lot to cover, and the focus is always on you and your needs.
Imagine meeting a girlfriend for a coffee. On a good day the encounter should invoke the following;

Aria Morgan

I’m a Writer, Yoga, Meditation and Breathwork Teacher, Birth Coach, and Energy Worker. I’m also a mom. I love the ocean, animals, and being out in nature. I’m so blessed to be alive. I’ve recently launched a brand-new site that reflects the fusion of many years of teaching with my role as a healer and energy worker.

If energy work resonates with you, I invite you to check it out. This is the future of my practice, though I will still continue to offer “just yoga,” without the energy and healing focus.
I look forward to connecting with you!

Martha Bishop

I have been supporting families since 2015. I’m a birth doula, postpartum doula, and lactation counselor.
I find it so satisfying to join a family where they are on their parenting journey, and help them work toward their goals.

Sometimes those goals fall apart in a blaze of glory!! The natural birth becomes emergency cesarean. The exclusive breastfeeding plan becomes a formula feeding plan. I also find it satisfying to help a family get through those tough times too.

Chandler Gilow

Hi! My name is Chandler Gilow and I am so glad you are here. I am a wife, mom of two little girls, a L&D RN, and a Lactation Specialist. After giving birth to our second daughter while abroad (in the middle of language learning), I saw a hole in the support for expat families. My husband and I are currently stateside for education and in this season, I have launch The Global Birth Coach.

Since May 2020 I have created content and gathered resources to empower expat families through community, resources, and education. Please check out the website, join us on the Virtual Village Facebook group, and hop over to The Expat Birth Podcast to hear birth stories from around the world.

Shamilee Moritmer

Hi! I am Shamilee Moritmer – I am a Doula and a Childbirth Educator, I help moms to plan and advocate for their perfect births, I provide Birth Services in both Grangeville and Lewiston Idaho.

Amanda Abichar

I graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology and Health. I am a Certified Exercise Physiologist, and Exercise is Medicine Specialist through the American College of Sports Medicine. After working in a clinical setting teaching fitness classes and personal training, I found my passion in the prenatal community.

I became certified in Prenatal and Postnatal Exercise. During my certification process I found the opportunity to become a certified Birth Doula. I felt this was a perfect way for me to strengthen, educate, and empower women before, during, and after labor. I am happy that I can now offer “full service” to women and their families during this exciting time of their lives.
