About me

Hi everyone! My name is Megan Swanson and I am a birth and postpartum doula located in Eastern Iowa. I founded The Jubilant Doula after experiencing the joy of birthing my son in my home in 2023. The moment he was born, my love for supporting mothers and families was too! I believe birth can and should be a joyful experience for everyone involved. As a doula, I will provide physical, educational, and emotional support and point you in the direction of evidence-based information for you to achieve your ideal birth outcome. I would love to partner with you as you grow your beautiful family!
