My postpartum journey was a tough one. I did not have the support I didn't even know I needed and it took a toll on my mental and physical health. It has been my mission to fill in those gaps for other families that I wish I had! Sometimes we don't even realize we need support. It's nice to know someone is there to be an unbiased support system just for you!

Care philosophy

My care is all about supporting and educating families so they gain the knowledge and confidence to not need me anymore! Parenting is a big job and it takes a village. It is my honor to be a part of this journey for so many families!

I'm Marie Engler, mama of two (Olive & Maxwell). With my firstborn, Olive, I wanted to have a non-medicated birth at home, but my husband & I settled on giving birth at a birth center (since it was my first birth). I had an insane labor experience that ultimately ended up with me giving birth in my bathroom. Luckily, my husband & doula were there, but Olive made her appearance before my midwife or the paramedics arrived. This experience was incredible & not only solidified the idea that it was time to change careers, but also ensured that I would make it my mission to inform, support & love on soon-to-be mamas & their families during this magical time. Luckily with my second child, Maxwell, I was able to have a planned home birth with my midwife and doula present. It was such an incredible, positive experience and I would love to help other women have similar experiences. I went to college to become a teacher & was super passionate about it, but after giving birth to Olive, I wanted to be able to be home more & watch her grow. After that wild birth experience, I knew becoming a doula and educating mamas was what I was meant to do. I want women to feel empowered & informed in their choices during pregnancy, labor, & as they move into motherhood. That is why I created Olive Doula Services. I created Olive Doula Services three years ago but unfortunately, had to take a break while we moved across the country for a couple of years. Luckily, my family and I are back in Arizona (our true home) and I am ready to serve & empower mamas near me!

Care philosophy

My mission is to help women feel empowered & informed in their choices during pregnancy, labor & as they move into motherhood. I do this by informing, supporting & loving on soon-to-be mamas & their families during this magical time in their lives.

    Marie was a lifesaver for me! I was a single mom with twins. My family was out of state but stayed as long as possible. Once they left I was beyond exhausted and felt hopeless. In came Marie. She was excellent with meeting our needs. Helping me to get more sleep so I was better able to care for my twins. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I’m forever grateful!

Some detail about me. In 2011, I married a man 18 days after meeting him! Together, we’ve navigated six teenagers and homeschooled our youngest child, since pre-K. That little guy sparked us to go co-create our own nonprofit homeschool co-op, Growing Together AZ. In 2020, I began my journey as a professional birthworker, and obtained certification as a birth Doula. Every tidbit of education or experience, has me hungry for more. My background in family development, early childhood education, and now birth work, fuels my passion to empower all people with confidence and positivity. My greatest advice for living, Believe In You. Always.

Care philosophy

Supporting birth on your terms, your way, in your chosen space. Because some days even a badass needs a little reminder to believe in herself in order to wipe off the mascara tears and straighten her crown.

After my own birth experiences, I understood how important it is to have someone in the room with you who provides reassurance and helps everyone stay focused. After supporting my best friend during her first birth, I knew that this was something I wanted to do again, and after I attended my first birth as a doula I knew with absolute certainty that I had found my purpose in life.

Care philosophy

I believe that every person deserves to feel empowered during their birth experience. I am so honored to provide support during childbirth and be a part of a new life coming into the world.

Kailey Murdock

My name is Kailey Murdock- a mom of three, chef by day, and doula extraordinaire. My journey into the birth world started with a "birth plans are overrated"🤰 mindset during my first pregnancy. Surprise, surprise—I ended up with an unplanned cesarean because my little one surprised us during pushing by being breech. Round two, I thought I had it figured out, but a not-so-friendly nurse threw me for a loop, making it clear birthing dreams don't always go as planned. I needed help and I needed to learn how to advocate for myself. Determined to rewrite my story, I delved into the birth world before my third pregnancy. An online class by a doula opened my eyes to the magic of doula support, even if I couldn't afford one in person. Armed with newfound knowledge, I rocked my third birth,🎉 achieving the healing experience I craved. Now, I'm not just a birth enthusiast—I'm a doula on a mission. Inspired by my sister-in-law's observation that I never stop talking about birth empowerment💪, I jumped into doula life. I kicked off my LLC, dove into training, and even started creating free resources and online courses. Why? Because every woman deserves to feel informed, empowered, and in control of her birth journey, right from the start.🧘

Care philosophy

My goal is to help women make informed decisions that best align with their personal birth goals. I am there to support your wishes, no matter what you choose.

    Kailey was my Doula for my third birth with my son Owen. My two previous birth experiences involved induction for both, epidurals, pitocin, and an overall feeling that I did not have control over my own body and the process of giving birth. My second son actually broke his arm from shoulder dystocia and had I been more informed and knowledgeable I would have opted to push in a different position other than lying on my back. Kailey helped me gain the knowledge I yearned for to be able to make informed decisions around my birth with Owen. I knew I wanted things to be different and I wanted to give birth completely unmedicated. Kailey spent a lot of time sharing evidence based articles surrounding any questions I had. With her help we were able to come up with a birth plan my husband and I were comfortable with and I felt educated and empowered in the decisions I was choosing for myself and my baby. On the day I gave birth Kailey was prompt and there for me through every single contraction, encouraging me, supporting me, physically massaging and applying counter pressure techniques of pain management. During the final phases of birth while I was pushing Kailey helped me stay focused on my end goal and helped bring me back to relaxing my body and mind and continuing to remind me that I was made for this and my baby was almost here. At 12:54 pm after only about 2 hrs of active labor I gave birth un-medicated in the most amazingly empowering and spiritual birth experience

Since I was little, birth has always captivated my entire being. I was born at home and was told the story of my birth every year as our birthday tradition. I have always had a place in my soul for birth work. It wasn’t until the pregnancy and birth of my first that it genuinely blossomed into something tangible for me. Now, I've acknowledged my purpose in this life and I attend the sacred space of birth and all that comes along with it. It's where I'm meant to be!

Care philosophy

I believe in our innate ability to birth and trust our bodies and intuition! Everyone has different needs and desires during this life changing and magical journey and I am here for all of it! I support all journeys in birth and what each individual needs. It is such an honor to attend such a sacred part of life and I take it with just as much sincerity each time.

I’ve had an interest in birth since my teen years. Timing ended up taking me a different path in college, but after having my last baby I finally decided to do something with my passion. Birth is beautiful and empowering. The world tends to focus on the pain and the unknown surrounding birth but I know that the mind is powerful. When we change our view and knowledge of birth, it changes the way we experience it. I am here to provide emotional, physical, and informational support so that you can better prepare yourself and your mind so you can enjoy the beauty of birth and tune in to the power that is YOU.

Care philosophy

I want to replace the fear surrounding birth with knowledge to create an empowering and positive experience. I’m here to help you explore all your options to make your birth personal and give you the confidence and knowledge you need to make informed decisions.

    As a first time mom, I was very nervous about the unknown and overwhelming task of childbirth. Stephanie worked to make me feel empowered and informed. I also was very anxious about my medical team but Stephanie was amazing at making me feel confident and comfortable. She went above and beyond in the weeks leading up to birth to make sure we were on the same page. She was everything I needed and more in Labor. I believe because of my experience with Stephanie as my Doula is prevented Post-Partum Depression and the like. She was passionate and experienced. My husband, at first skeptical, was over-the-moon with the knowledge and help Steph brought to our birthing experience. I am so lucky she was there for this incredible piece of our lives. We are forever in love with our baby and are glad she was there for us.

At Mindful Conceptions we practice a holistic approach that caters to the mind, body, and spirit for a relaxing birth. I come from a lineage of midwives, doulas, and birth workers that honor traditional support in birthing. I come from a family very deep within tradition to honor the baby being born and support the mother through her courageous creation. This has taught me about the importance for each family to continue the traditions they are looking to start or continue at their births and into their child's lives. Each tradition is different for each family which makes it better and unique to the occasion. From learning from my elders in my family I have learned herbal remedies and natural support techniques to provide before, during, and after labor. Once I became an adult I pushed forward in my dream of becoming a birth worker, herbalist, advocate for women's health, and currently a student midwife. I have dedicated my life to supporting women and families in need of birth/postpartum support and my goal is to make sure that every family has control over their birth and are informed of the information needed to have the birth they desire. At Mindful Concepts we are mindful of our approach, intention, and support! Bemindfulconcepts.com

Care philosophy

At Mindful Conceptions we believe that the family should have full control of their births and receive the support they need with an holistic approach that is safe, natural, and spiritual for the family. We honor traditional births and rites of passages significant to each family to continue the practices for their lineage. I am here to help make your birth a memorable and sweet life event!

When I became pregnant I was like many other first time parents; overwhelmed, excited, scared, and already nervous about birth. I found solace in research and knowing what to expect at each stage of my pregnancy. After my own experience, my desire to uplift others, and lots of messages from others for advice I took the leap! Now I spend my days supporting families all over the valley! Now, I run Down to Earth Birth LLC which is committed to advocating for maternal safety, education, community and accessibility.

The moment when I began practicing Yoga nearly fifteen years ago now is a moment that changed my life but I did not know it then. It was not until several years later, after a short lived career in the commercial real estate business and a growing disconnection from self, that I found myself using my mat to lead the way. I let it lead me through my very first yoga teacher training (YogaWorks 200 RYT, 2011) where I learned to build my practice and teach others asana. And then through an Ayurvedic Yoga training (Dancing Shiva, 2012) where I learned to be a yogi and to use Ayurveda's medicine. This strong foundation fueled further trainings in Pre/Post Natal Yoga (Silver Lake Yoga, 2013), Ayurvedic Medicine (Center for Ayurveda 2012-2015) and advanced Yoga teacher training including aspects of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Therapies (YogaWorks RYT 500, 2015). My teaching began to blend many forms of Yoga, with an emphasis most importantly on living in harmony with Nature and Soul. I started to spend most of my time teaching in prenatal classrooms and found myself in a doula training (DONA, 2014) as a way to extend my work on the Yoga mat, but it grew into something more. In the following days after my first attended birth, it became clearer how Yoga had changed my life. It had brought harmony and alignment with who I was. I had never thought or chosen to be a doula, yet living and practicing Yoga and Ayurveda had brought me here. I went on to complete trainings as a postpartum doula (DONA, 2015), infant massage educator (Infant Massage USA), childbirth educator (ICEA, 2017) and turned my specialty in Ayurveda to postpartum care and education. Then, in April of 2019 I became a mom myself. Giving birth to my son, Oskar, at home was the most incredible experience I have ever had in my life. After years of witnessing births in various settings and situations, I sought out my dream team and birthed as a woman in power. As I re-enter the birth professional space to support families again, I intend to focus my energy as a Childbirth Educator and Yoga Teacher, using the unique perspective my experience and background affords me, to support parents in having calm and joyful birth and parenting experiences.

Postpartum Doula Services: FAQs

For most parents, the transition into early parenthood is hard. Postpartum doulas in Mesa, AZ offer all sorts of practical, physical, informational and emotional support to new parents. Postpartum doulas in Mesa, AZ offer a wide range of after-birth support services, including:

  5. Caring for older siblings
  6. Light housework
  7. Night nannying or sleep relief services

Some parents require additional physical and emotional support due to their specific situation, lack of family support, or their particular lifestyle. A postpartum doula positively affects the entire family, as many postpartum doulas are involved in sibling care, housework chores, and educating clients on childcare information/techniques.

To find a postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ, most parents recommend creating a job post on Meela and having uniquely qualified postpartum doulas near you (in your budget) reach out to you through the Meela app.

We recommend reaching out to and interviewing at least three postpartum doulas before hiring a postpartum doula near you. After interviewing, hire the most qualified postpartum doula near you and start getting the care you deserve.

While the cost of a postpartum doula can vary based on experience and the services offered, the average cost of a postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ is $29 per hour, but typically ranges from $23 to $34 per hour. These costs are based on a representative group of 24 postpartum doulas surveyed by Meela in the Mesa area. The average cost of a postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ is lower than the average cost of a postpartum doula in the state of Arizona, which is $33 per hour.

To put this in further context, the cost of a postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ is lower than the U.S. national average cost of a postpartum doula, which is $37 per hour.

When hiring a postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ, you and your doula will discuss and agree upon a fee structure, and your postpartum doula will send you itemized invoices through Meela, which you can pay securely through the app.

A postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ is meant to help the entire family and their role is not just limited to the birthing parent and newborn. A doula provides physical and emotional support to parents and siblings, but they also offer information and advice regarding how to feed, bathe, swaddle, and soothe the baby.

They also often help with postpartum depression issues, and are considered child care “consultants” rather than medical professionals. Many postpartum doulas in Mesa, AZ offer a range of services that can help with parents trying to adjust to a newborn child. These services often include:

  • Sibling care
  • Assist with household chores
  • Parent-baby bonding
  • Physical and emotional recovery
  • Support to parents and extended family

A postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ can have a lasting positive impact on a family and help them feel more confident about their parenting role and the way that they feed and nurture their baby. They might offer advice regarding feeding, bathing, and parent-baby bonding.

It is important to note that a postpartum doula might offer advice but is not expected to provide medical care of any kind or serve as a replacement to an accredited physician. Postpartum doulas are also not qualified to prescribe medication.

Many new parents want to know about certified postpartum doulas and how exactly they are certified. Since the demand for postpartum doulas has greatly expanded in the last several years, the number of reputable postpartum doula training and certification programs has grown in Mesa, AZ. Training criteria can differ from program to program, but most follow a similar curriculum which includes core academic curriculum and practical hours and real-life care experience.

One of the most common national postpartum doula training certifications comes from DONA International. A postpartum doula usually receives about 27 hours of practical training before they are a certified postpartum doula.

There are also CAPPA-certified postpartum doulas in Mesa, AZ, as well. These doulas were certified by the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association, an international organization that certifies doulas and other childbirth educators/professionals.

As a reminder, because postpartum doulas are not trained to be a medical professional and diagnose and treat medical conditions, a certification is not required for them to practice.

As their names suggest, a birth doula’s main priority is to provide support services before, during and in the moments immediately after childbirth. A postpartum doula’s obligations usually begin after the birth, for several weeks or months. In many cases, your birth doula will also be a trained and certified postpartum doula, which can provide a continuity of care that many parents find extremely valuable.

Many parents want to know whether a postpartum doula or a baby nurse would meet their needs and expectations. A baby nurse might be focused on making sure that a baby sleeps or feeds properly, but that might be the extent of their role. A postpartum doula generally offers more holistic services for their clients.

A postpartum doula in Mesa, AZ is expected to be more involved with the family as a whole. They might remain involved in sibling care or also provide emotional support to the partner as both parents adjust to becoming new parents. This may even include support for older siblings, light housework, and even meal prep. A postpartum doula provides more physical, emotional, and informational support than a baby nurse.

You can hire two types of doulas in Mesa, AZ: a birth doula and a postpartum doula. The birth doula is during your pregnancy and through the birth of your child. They provide you with emotional, physical and educational support during your pregnancy, your labor and delivery and for the first few hours after your child is born.

A postpartum doula will support you for the first few weeks after the baby is born. They provide in-home assistance, including teaching you how to take care of your newborn, acting as lactation consultant, and can provide some night nanny services.
