Jannelle Allong-Diakabana
About me
I believe in nurturing young and growing families with grace, resilience, and intentional movement. When our time is up you won’t realize I’m gone because you’ve been empowered to take on sustainable postpartum practices and you put self care first. I believe everyone deserves a doula!

Service introduction
I provide birth and postpartum support that focuses on feeling safe, healing, bonding, and nourishing of the birthing parent - as it has a rippling effect on the rest of the family. I believe in holistic healing and evidence-based approach. I'm mother-centric during postpartum and clearly distinguish postpartum support from newborn care.

Jannelle was such a blessing during my pregnancy, the birth of our beautiful son, and even postpartum! My partner and I learned so much and became so empowered through Jannelle in the weeks leading up to meeting our baby boy. And even though things didn't go exactly how I'd imagined them through my birth plan, she was there for us every step of the way and I know we both had so much more courage and strength with her by our side in the delivery room. The postpartum visits were so welcome and needed, especially as a first time mom. She helped ease by fears and anxiety, and made getting through the first month so much easier on all of us as a family. I truly think the world of Jannelle and am so grateful to have her a part of our journey.

So amazing!!! Couldn’t have enjoyed postpartum even more with having her there.

Janelle was supportive and helped me to advocate for myself in moments I had not done before. She also gave me a lot of resources to help support me. She even advocated for me with some resources and got me supported. Having a doula definitely made my last birthing experience better. Thank you Jannelle for being apart of my village before birth, during birth and afterbirth. I truly appreciate you!

Jannelle was an absolute godsend during my postpartum journey. From the moment she stepped into our home, she brought a calm, nurturing energy that made me feel seen, supported, and truly cared for. She anticipated needs before I even had to ask — whether it was helping me rest, preparing nourishing meals, or gently guiding me through newborn care. More than anything, she made me feel safe to be vulnerable in a time that can be so overwhelming. Jannelle’s warmth, intuition, and professionalism made all the difference for our family. I can’t imagine those first few weeks without her.
