Hi, it’s nice to meet you!

Welcome, I’m really glad you’re here!

I’ve always had an interest in pregnancy, birth, motherhood, and babies. My love supporting other women going through this season has continued to grow through my life. Getting married, I learned all about the process and science of natural family planning. The Lord used what I was learning to help answer other women’s questions about family planning as well! Through that process, I came upon doula work, realizing it was a beautiful extension of educating and walking alongside women not just in their fertility, but also their pregnancy and motherhood journeys. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with business administration which I am so grateful for that education in starting Walker Beside You.

Pursuing doula training, it was the first time in my life I absolutely loved what I was learning. Now, I am a certified birth doula through DONA International (leader in evidence-based doula training). This certification keeps me accountable and helps me to better serve my clients through continued education and mentorship. Through doula work, I realized I deeply value educating families on the process of birth and their options. I am now a trained Lamaze Childbirth Educator and am able to teach childbirth education classes!

Pregnancy and birth is beautiful, hard, life changing, intense, and exciting all at the same time. I don’t want you to go through it alone or feel overwhelmed. Helping you through your pregnancy and birth would be such an honor. I am passionate about you feeling supported, educated, empowered, and cared for in the best way possible through this season.

Other than my passion for doula work, I love Jesus with all my heart, hiking, fitness, honey lattes, game nights, a shopping spree, and baking sourdough. My husband and I also serve as the Youth Directors at our local church. I feel really grateful to be in this space of supporting families. I firmly believe that doula work allows me to better love the Lord and love His people (Mark 12:30-31).

Your friend,
Meredith

See what the families I've served are saying!
