My name is Onneke Black! I knew that being a
doula was the right calling for me after I had my
first baby. I had such high expectations for the whole
labor and birth process but when it came time, I found myself feeling unprepared and powerless.
I had no idea that birth could feel special or that
I could be confident walking into the hospital instead
of afraid of what was to come. It was my experience and the stories of the women around me that propelled me forward into learning how to assist women with a personal, satisfying birth experience!

What is a Doula?
Support
Doulas provide position ideas for comfort and labor progression with hands-on comfort measures like comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques, and other “doula magic” for families. Doulas help families to feel supported, easing the emotional experience of birth and also helping to create a space where the hormones of labor can work at their best. Whether a birth is completely unmedicated or medically very complex, every family can benefit from nurturing and connection at this tender, incredible time in their lives.
Educator
A doula provides resources and information to prepare families for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a doula, I am a safe place to ask questions and get answers.
Advocate
DONA International doulas are trained to help families connect with evidence-based resources so they can ask great questions and make informed decisions about their births. As a doula, I serve as a bridge of communication between clients and their providers, lifting them up to help them find their voices and advocate for the very best care.
