Who's got the stuff.

 

Through my career as a doula in Chicago, I have discovered a vibrant community of birth-workers and other professionals.  When I am impressed by a professional’s work, I add them to this master list.  This list is constantly being updated, so please check back! (and if you are a local professional who would like to be added to this list, please contact me.)
