I am ready for you.

Marcia Mattern, CD (DONA), Certified Professional Birth Doula

Hi. I’m Marcia. I’ve been supporting women in labor for 20 years (since 2004). I have attended more than 500 births. I’ve been trained and certified by DONA (Doulas of North America) in 2007, Madriella 2008 and toLabor 2014 to support you during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I keep my CPR, NRP and Bloodborne pathogens certificates current. I have been through Spinning Babies training 2015, VBAC facts training 2017, Stillbirth Doula training 2019 and training for supporting Peri-natal Mood Disorders through Postpartum Support International 2022. I continually receive more education on ways to support breastfeeding. I care about a holistic approach to mothering. I worked as a Registered Dietitian and am happy to help with your healthy eating goals.

I understand the need for support. I grew up in Central Illinois and I am raising my family here. I attend births up to one hour away from Peoria, Illinois. I will travel to Bloomington, Moline, Macomb, and Princeton to name a few locations! I’m always reaching out to local providers to create meaningful resources for you.

Do you want an unmedicated birth? Are you looking for VBAC support? Are you hoping for a calm Cesarean? Do you need postpartum support?

I want to talk to you, connect with you, and work for you. When you contact me, we spend time talking about your hopes and fears. I will help you find answers to your questions.
