Meet Millie
she/her
As a birth doula, I bring a grounding, compassionate presence rooted in over a decade of experience supporting families. With a background in mental health and a wide range of experience including nannying, coaching, tutoring, and many summers as a camp counselor, I offer a calm, steady hand and a warm, encouraging spirit throughout your birth journey. Whether you need someone to help you discuss your options, advocate for your needs, or simply stay grounded with you in the moment, I’m here to encourage, empower, and ensure you feel informed, heard, and supported at every stage.
I welcome and celebrate the full range of identities and experiences folks bring into pregnancy and birth. I have a particularly special place in my heart for fellow members of the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. Whatever form your family may take, I look forward to offering you compassionate, down-to-earth practical and emotional support.
I am also currently enrolled at the New School for Massage in Chicago, where I am training to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I can’t wait to supplement my doula work with pregnancy massage!

Some Life Tidbits
I love to knit and crochet, and have been known to make hats for the newborns in my life.
Much of my down time is spent cuddled up with my cats, Alan and Eugene Levy (Jeanie, for short), as well as my wife.
I grew up in Minnesota and feel most at home near a lake. Now that I call Chicago home, walks along Lake Michigan are one of my life’s great joys.
Any outdoor adventure is an adventure I want to be on.
I spent a year in a mental health counseling program before pivoting to full-time doula work. I bring a deep understanding of the interplay between mental and physical well-being to my role as a doula.
And finally, as the oldest of nearly thirty cousins, I have had a baby in my arms since I was practically one myself.
