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!

My name is Chloey, and I am a dedicated doula passionate about supporting birthing families on their unique journeys. Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I am deeply rooted in our community and committed to providing compassionate care to those around me. In October 2023, I welcomed my beautiful daughter, Aspen, into the world, an experience that ignited my passion for birth and inspired me to become a doula. Navigating my own birthing journey made me realize the profound impact of having the right support and guidance during such a transformative time. I graduated from the University of Iowa in May 2024 with my bachelors in psychology, equipped with knowledge and a deep commitment to empowering others through their birthing experiences. My goal is to ensure that every family feels confident, respected, and supported as they bring new life into the world. I am here to help you have your birth, your way and look forward to working with you!

Birth is a beautiful, natural process, but it often seems overwhelming and scary for new parents. I strive to provide information about pregnancy, birth, lactation, newborn care, and the post-partum recovery so that you can determine your personal wishes for your birth journey. As you develop your preferences, I'll assist in the formation of a birth plan that we will use to advocate for your wishes. During birth, I offer emotional and physical support, help with non-pharmacological pain management, act as a birth coach, and advocate for your values in medical situations. With my extensive background in healthcare, I am able to interpret situations and jargon, so that you can understand factors involved and make truly informed decisions for your best birth experience . I have experience in home- and hospital-based birth environments , vaginal and cesarean, low- and high-risk situations. I'm ready to support YOU and your unique wishes as you navigate your childbearing year.
