Hello, My name is Alyssa Wagler and I am a birth doula supporting clients in the southeast Iowa region. I LOVE birth! I have 4 children of my own and have supported over 40 births so far. After having a doula for myself, I understood the importance of moms getting education, support, and advocacy during pregnancy and labor. That's when I trained to be a doula with Stillbirthday academy. I have since done training with Spinning Babies as well, to help further my understanding of comfort measures while also helping labor to progress. It is a truly humbling privilege and honor to support moms and dads as they transition into parenthood. Bringing new life into this world is a gift and I'd be honored to guide you.

I attend homebirth and hospitals. Primarily attending the Southeast Iowa regions of Burlington, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and Ottumwa areas. I support unmedicated, medicated, and cesarean births. This is what parents can expect: 1. I provide a free consultation for all parents to get to know me and see if we'd be a good fit. 2. Clients should expect: - Two prenatal visits with me in your home to prepare for birth. - Personal contact info to reach out with any questions, concerns, or updates during the pregnancy. - Continuous in-person support during labor and delivery. -One postpartum visit to check-in. -and so much more! 3. Family is important! I will be sure the dad/husband/trusted-support-person is involved with all aspects and supported as well. 4. Evidence-based care is a must and will be provided all along the way. 5. I can provide acupressure as needed/desired. 6. Spinning Babies is used in labor prep and during labor. 7. We will work together to create a birth plan that is catered to your personal preferences.
