Marcia Mattern, professional Birth Doula.
Providing emotional, educational, and physical support to pregnant, laboring and postpartum women.
“I’ve had very painful back labor with all three previous pregnancies and I had never had anyone apply counter pressure and massage until Marcia. I still can’t believe the difference it made and I’m sad that I went without that for my previous births.”
Happy Clients
Marcia's calm, positive, and confident disposition made my husband and I immediately feel more at ease with our decision to prepare for a VBAC. While I hoped for a vaginal birth with my second child, I did struggle to get rid of my fears and doubts.
— AMANDA
We had an unplanned C-section with our first and after becoming pregnant with our second, we wanted to try for a VBAC. She took the time to get to know me and my wishes for labor and delivery. I think the best part was that she gives YOU a voice in your own pregnancy, labor and delivery.
— Laurie
I only have experience with Marcia through The Birth Circle held monthly in Peoria. After a birth that left me with many mixed emotions, I needed a safe place to share and work through the feelings. I shared openly and felt so supported and understood by Marcia even thought she had only just met me.
— Jessica
Marcia was able to keep me focused during my labor and delivery. She always seemed to be one step ahead of my needs and was able to find ways to help me refocus when I was starting to feel overwelmed.
