Hello, and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Ronae (pronounced like the more commonly spelled "Renee"), and I am a Certified Birth Doula and Certified Lactation Specialist located in Fort Wayne, IN. I have always been passionate about serving and encouraging other women. Through my own parenting journey over the years, I have developed an avid interest in all things birth and breastfeeding. I have been a certified Birth Doula since 2020 through ICEA and Global Birth Community and have been a Certified Lactation Specialist (CLS through LEC) since 2021. I have experience in supporting births in hospitals, in birth centers, and at home. I believe that women have a right to nonjudgmental encouragement and support throughout their birth story, whatever they choose and wherever it takes them. I feel it is especially important for birth workers to empower women to understand their options in pregnancy and birth so they are able to provide true informed consent, playing an active role in their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences.

As a birth doula, I offer nonjudgmental and evidence-based birth support for many kinds of births: Home births, birth center births, hospital births (including natural birth, high-risk births, twins, c-section, and VBAC), and surrogacy births. Through my own birth experiences and through accompanying dozens of other women on this sacred journey, I have deepened my passion for and knowledge of supporting growing families. I have also been supporting women in their lactation journeys since 2014, and believe that all women deserve access to the support and education they need in order to meet their breastfeeding goals.
