Where Expecting Joy Doula Services works
Services families mention
“Maddie Baumann was our postpartum doula and we also took a newborn class with her.”
“My birth ended up being an unexpected c-section in the hospital instead of a planned homebirth, and I can’t imagine having gone through it without Lea.”
“On top of the overnight care, she was always quick to respond to my never ending questions, organized for us, and even made lactation balls for me!”
What families say again and again
“Being able to get much needed rest overnight while she looked after our daughter was truly a blessing.”
“She came to the hospital with very little notice in the middle of the night, quickly met us and was up to speed on our birth plan and immediately provided her expertise and help.”

She shared insightful resources to help me prepare, was attentive and extremely helpful during the actual birth and still checks in on us even after our son’s…
It’s hard to imagine welcoming our daughter into the world without having Maddie B. by our side. We are first time parents and were working with another doula who was unavailable during the start of our delivery. Maddie jumped in as our backup doula, and we are so thankful that everything worked out that way.
We met Lea through our church before we even knew that she was a doula or that I was pregnant. When the time came to start choosing birth workers, I knew that Lea would be an incredible asset to our team through her warm and compassionate personality.
