When the Whole Family Needs Care
When the Whole Family Needs Care
“Jordan and Amy are one of a kind. When we realized we would need night care for our newborn I contacted them and we immediately had an in person meeting- where I KNEW that it was a great fit. They are kind, thoughtful, thorough, capable, qualified and down to earth doulas who made our transition home with three children seamless. Jordan cared for our newborn during the night and helped to get her sleeping well for us, so that when the time came for her to leave our baby was a sleeping champ!
Jordan not only helped us with our newborn while I underwent treatments during the day, she also became a close confidant that I went to with questions and concerns.
She eased our burden and helped us in so many ways. I would HIGHLY recommend IBP to anyone I know. They helped us through a joyous but tough time and I will be forever thankful and grateful for them!”

Jacki's Comfort + Care
Jacki’s Comfort + Care
“I worked with Indiana Birth & Parenting for post partum doula support after my second child was born. We had recently moved, COVID was in full swing, and our families were out of state, so we didn't have a lot of local support. I was very impressed with the quick communication and kind and compassionate responses from my initial inquiry and then throughout the entire process. They made themselves available in every way and went above and beyond to ensure that my family felt cared for and had what we needed during an extremely challenging time. We utilized the day time post partum doula support packages and specifically had Jacki in our home. She was very intuitive and happy to do jump in and do anything that would support myself and my family while she was here. She brought lots of good energy into our home and we will always be grateful for her support, as well as the whole team during one of the most stressful times in my life! My family would highly recommend this team!”

Supportive Induction
Supportive Induction
“Hiring Jordan and Amy was the best decision I made for my birth plan. When I was feeling uncertain about the induction my doctor suggested, Amy walked me through what would happen step-by-step, answering my questions and alleviating my concerns. Having Jordan there for the birth brought me so much relief and satisfaction with the decisions I made during that time. She was with us for almost 24 hours after a night-time cervix thinner started contractions. Things did not go as anticipated -- as they commonly do with births. Jordan talked me through the options and trade-offs, and reassured me during the scary moments. I would *not* have been able to get through hours of contractions medication-free without her help. And she waited on me hand and foot while my partner was getting some much needed rest and my bottom half was numb. She was an amazing coach, teaching me how to push properly and enthusiastically encouraging me for what felt like forever. There was a moment after 4 hours of pushing that the doctor told me they were going to try the vacuum before going to c-section. I immediately felt this flood of panic. But Jordan leaned in close and told me it was going to be okay and that this was the best possible option at that point, and that gave me the energy to push her out at the eleventh hour.”

Life After Loss
Life After Loss
“It’s difficult for me to not get emotional when I think about how much Amy and Jordan have helped and supported me in the time I’ve known them - they mean THAT much to me. Amy attended the births of both my sons. My first son is an angel who was born still at 22+ weeks gestation, and my second son is here earthside, now 2 months old! While I hope anyone reading this never ever needs bereavement support, the care these ladies gave me.. support in the hospital and preparing me for the things to come, recommendations for grief counseling, other various resources, and attending Walk to Remember with me.. truly impacted the course of my life. I would not be where I am today without receiving this care. As far as pregnancy, birth prep, and postpartum support, these ladies do it ALL. And they go above and beyond! They’re attentive, truly listen, and empower you in a gentle, beautiful way. When I got really desperate struggling with breastfeeding, they had an IBLC see me within 24 hours. When I was struggling with some sleep concerns/nighttime routine, Jordan came to stay over just two nights later. They are constantly working to share the best info, blogs, social media posts, referrals, etc to make their community as best it can be. They are such a blessing, and I feel so lucky to have received their care. Thank you, Amy and Jordan ♥️”

“Appreciated all the support prepping for our first baby. During a global pandemic it was one less stressor to know that our doulas were there for us. Could not have imagined a more beautiful birth and my husband who is a tightwad said this was the best money we spent for our birth.”

First Time Parents
First Time Parents
“Three weeks ago my husband and I had our first baby. Our journey to parents would not have been the same without Amy and Jordan. I had just entered my third trimester when I started looking to hire a doula. I came across Indiana Birth & Parenting after doing what seemed like hours of research online and instantly fell in love with Amy and Jordan. Their approach to doula care was exactly what we were looking for - honest, empathetic, loving, and direct. Being this was my first pregnancy, I had a ton of questions about it all, as did my husband. Each one was wholeheartedly welcomed and answered with patience and a wealth of knowledge. Taking away the unknown was extremely helpful for us and we have Amy and Jordan to thank for that. Amy was with me during labor and, just as the two of them had done with everything leading up to that day, she made my experience what it was. Despite a few small scary moments during my labor, Amy made me feel safe the entire time. My husband was able to really be present during the process because of Amy’s reassurance and advise. I had a great relationship with my doctor and the hospital was amazing but Amy shined and was a true advocate for us all. The expertise, experience and love didn’t end at the hospital. Since welcoming our son, Amy has also done several postpartum shifts and has continued to be extremely helpful. We recently moved to a new city but despite the distance, I am still in contact with her almost daily with new questions. I may even make up questions when I run out of them just so we stay in contact! Amy and Jordan are my baby fairy godmothers and they will forever be part of our family.”

11th Hour Decision
11th Hour Decision
“I had been back and forth on hiring a doula for the birth of my first child after having difficulty finding one that I connected with. I was 34 weeks pregnant when my lactation consultant recommended Amy and Jordan to me. I was worried it was too late to fully benefit from hiring a doula that late in the game but knew I would regret not having one. Within just a few hours of my induction at the hospital, I already knew having Amy and Jordan as part of my birthing team was going to be a game changer. They coached me through every step of the process and made sure I stayed calm and focused on delivering my daughter. I had such an incredible, positive delivery and I know it wouldn't have been the same without Amy and Jordan. My only regret was not finding and hiring them sooner!”

Postpartum Doulas- Two Under Two
Postpartum Doulas- Two Under Two
“Jordan and Amy are absolutely incredible. They are so knowledgeable of postpartum and newborn care. It was helpful to have their expertise and advice as we started to navigate life with 2 under 2. They both are genuinely loving and compassionate, which helped me to feel completely comfortable having them in our home and alone with my son. I would overhear them talking to my son in the most adorable way, and it provides me so much comfort to know he was in such loving hands. We would hire them again in a heartbeat- I don’t know how we would have made it through without their support.

Postpartum Support Months After Birth
Postpartum Support Months After Birth
“Amy and Jordan are the *best* duo you would want on your team when you are pregnant, birthing, and especially postpartum-ing. They are extremely committed to their work - caring, respectful, and always hands-on and heart-on. These professionals will do their best to help you and your family ride every wave during each transition - and there are so many! They will be your most supportive guide for you to lean on any hour of the day. I am forever grateful to Amy for being there for my family and I when my first-born was 4 months old, she was instrumental in lifting us out of a period of severe stress and struggling in those initial infancy days. Highly recommend them to ANYONE who is pregnant, approaching birth, and definitely postpartum! Just give them a call to find out for yourself, you'll never regret that call.

Pregnancy + Birth Teamwork
Pregnancy + Birth Teamwork
“If you are pregnant or know someone who is – you need to talk to these remarkable women. You owe it to yourselves to get as much information and support as you can. Asking Jordan and Amy to help me with our second child’s birth was a no brainer to me as soon as I found out I was expecting. They started by asking questions, answering honestly and openly, and getting to know me. We walked through the experience together to find out what I needed for my birth plan and how I could be supported. I always felt comfortable with Amy and Jordan and wasn’t shy to ask them questions. They supported me no matter what I decided to do when it came down to my birth plan. Jordan was on call for my birth. I got through my unmedicated birth with her by my side. Later that evening, I heard from Amy wishing me congratualtions on our surprise baby girl. It’s hard to explain how much their unconditional support means to me. I still talk and text with Jordan and Amy. They always seem to know when I have questions or need a pick me up.”

All The Things
All The Things
“Before becoming pregnant, I didn't even know what a doula was/could provide for me. Now-- I have no idea how my husband and I would have managed without one. Jordan, our doula, was ALWAYS available through my entire pregnancy and now even after delivery. Anywhere from advice on diapers, breast feeding, types of car seats, and registry lists-- she always had great insight. My delivery was not as I had planned, my blood pressure was elevated- so the doctor wanted to induce.. this was something I had originally not wanted to do and became very emotional. Jordan listened to my concerns and helped me with the doctor to do the right thing for the baby. Whether you are planning a natural birth, c-section or epidural, Jordan will support you. I HIGHLY recommend her.”

When the Plan Changes
When the Plan Changes
“When Amy met me at the hospital, she was amazing. She did everything in such a sweet way, requesting a basin for applying cold compresses, talking me through the medical jargon, and finding other ways to soothe me through my labor. Because of the nature of my labor, she didn’t have the opportunity to guide me through different positions and such, but she provided immense emotional support and was frank with me about the reality of it all. I am so grateful for the way she spoke to me about the reality of where my labor was headed and how I could prepare for that. She was amazing and I don’t think I could have gotten through it all without her steadying presence. Once our baby was born, Amy was so good about making sure we were all set and then quietly leaving us to bask in our baby. Throughout it all, Amy was wonderful and it was a true gift to have her there.”
