Welcome to Deluxe Doula Care
A little note about your doula...
Hi there! I'm Crystal Feldman, an RN, wife, mom of 3, and passionate labor and postpartum doula and childbirth educator in Central Iowa. My faith in Christ guides my approach to birth work, where I believe in the inherent value of every life and strive to create a sacred and supportive space for everyone involved in the birthing process.
Working with women facing unplanned pregnancies has taught me that personal support is essential for success. While our society has access to great medical advancements, it's having compassionate support that truly impacts the lives of every woman and her family. Personal support tends to have a ripple effect, shaping not only the birth experience but also the long-term well-being and resilience of each person.
As an Enneagram 9, I bring a calming presence and empower you to navigate the world of birth with confidence. I believe in evidence-based practices and will help you advocate for your needs while creating a peaceful and positive birth experience.
I offer comprehensive doula services, including prenatal consultations, childbirth education, birth plan development, continuous labor support, and postpartum support including breastfeeding guidance.
Ready to embark on your birthing journey with peace and confidence? Contact me as your central Iowa doula today for a free consultation!
