Meet Your Birth Consultant

 

I'm Chanel Washington, a Certified Professional Doula, Birth Educator, and Certified Lactation Educator who has supported 500+ families. I've moved my practice to virtual-first because I believe geography should never stand between a family and genuinely great doula care. My clients get the same personalized, evidence-based support whether they're in Chicago or across the country.

Let's talk about what you envision for your birth journey.

Preparation only
gets you so far

 

No amount of research replaces having the right person in your corner. You need someone who knows your plan, knows the process, and is there for you when it matters most. 

 

 

You don't have to live in the same city as me to get real, live, expert support.

 I offer both in-person and virtual care. 

 

Through virtual care, I work with families across the country, building personalized birth plans, preparing partners, and walking alongside you through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum, all from the comfort of your home.

Ready to get started?  

 

Whether you're planning a hospital birth or a homebirth, want an unmedicated delivery, or simply need someone in your corner. I meet you exactly where you are, build your strategy, and make sure you're fully supported from your first session through postpartum recovery.

Sound familiar?

"I've done the research I can, but I don't know what I don't know - and that unknown is what keeps me up at night."

"I feel prepared until I imagine being mid-labor, vulnerable, and not knowing how to advocate for myself when things don't go according to the plan."

"I've read the books, taken the class, have a birth plan drafted - but what happens when the hospital pushes back on it?"

"I know I'm prepared - but I also know that labor, delivery, and postpartum are the one thing in life where preparation alone isn't enough."

"My partner wants to be supportive but neither of us actually knows what that looks like when we're in the room and things get real."

"The postpartum period scares me more than labor. I can prep for birth - but I don't know how to prepare for what comes after."

She helped me and my husband prepare for our daughter and stayed the entire time of my labor.

I was overdue by 2 weeks and Chanel helped us with techniques to get my baby to drop — within 24 hours I went into labor! She supported my unmedicated birth the entire time. 3 years later I would still highly recommend her.

Very knowledgeable with such a caring spirit.

Chanel was my rock from my first consultation through my last postpartum visit.

She was the best! I felt so taken care of the entire time — in touch with me and my husband constantly. During birth she was so calm, helping me breathe through contractions.

Even after, it really feels like your friend checking in on you!

Chanel was absolutely fantastic!

Birth doula, postpartum doula, and overnight doula for the first 3 months — I could not have asked for better. She read baby's cues, offered to fold clothes and clean bottles, and gave insight when baby was fussy.

Having her saved my postpartum experience. I'm truly grateful!

Chanel gave me support and clarity and trained my fiancé to be a collaborative partner.

I felt so prepared when the big day came. Her postpartum support was especially helpful through breastfeeding and those late-night "is this normal?" questions.
She is the best of the best. Highly recommend.
