Bonnie Baker, Owner, Monitrice, HCHI, HCHD, PES

Bonnie has been a doula since 2014 and recently finished her midwifery education. She has attended over 200+ births since she began her doula business.
She came to love all things birth related through the birth of her children. What started as a curiosity before having children grew into a passion after the birth of her first son. Her first baby was born in a hospital with a routine epidural in 2008. Although it was a safe, healthy, and happy birth, she sought out more empowerment for her second birth. Her second son was born naturally and peacefully in the hospital using Hypnobabies in 2010, even though she developed a need for a medically necessary induction. After that she realized her calling in life was to help people have better birth experiences - what ever that meant to the person giving birth. Her third son was born at home surrounded by love at the end of 2021. 


  She is a mother, wife, yogi, bookworm, and wanna-be world traveler. She is also a birth doula, midwife, Hypnobabies instructor, placenta encapsulation specialist and trainer, and a Bengkung belly binder- offering differing styles/patterns for binds.

  As a doula, midwife, and childbirth educator, she loves to help moms have the best birth possible whatever that means to them. Providing moms with knowledge equates to power for them and their birth experience. Helping women learn and understand tools needed to help create a peaceful birthing experience is something she considers vital for a birthing woman and is proud to offer that. 

  She has supported moms in many birth situations such as vaginal breech birth, home births, planned epidurals, special needs C-section, and unmedicated births. She is very familiar with Hypnobabies, Bradley, and Hypnobirthing methods of childbirth as well as many other mindful birthing practices. She has built and maintained good working relationships with many of the care providers along the Northern Wasatch Front and is committed to creating and maintaining a positive birth experience for a mother and her birth team.

  Her role as a postpartum service provider is multi-faceted and she tries to help her clients however is needed. The most popular ways she does this is with placenta encapsulation and belly binding. She's seen amazing benefits from both services that help new mothers ease into their new roles confidently. She also helps with breastfeeding as needed and can refer to experts in this field if it is beyond her knowledge. 

  When she's not focusing on her clients or promoting safe and healthy pregnancies for all birthing people, she usually can be found in her garden, on her yoga mat, running, or daydreaming of traveling the world with her wonderful family. She wishes she had more time to read and sleep, but such is the life of a doula/mother and she wouldn't have it any other way!

Whitney Lancaster, HD, CVD(TVL)

Whitney is a mother of three children and an avid reader. She became immersed in the birth world following a short (but seemed to last forever) battle with infertility. She realized that the kind of birth she wanted didn't just happen without preparation and education. After her second child was born, Whitney became certified to teach HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method. After her third child was born, she decided to become a doula officially, though she had been attending births since 2010.  
Birth, labor, and parenting is a journey that usually doesn't end up quite where you think it should or will go and Whitney is honored to accompany families as they make their own path. Her goal is that everyone will leave the birth experience feeling educated and empowered and prepared to handle every turn their birthing takes.  ​

Erin Yates, CVD(TVL)

After successfully birthing 4 children un-medicated, Erin wanted to help other birthing people gain confidence in their body by preparing for the type of birth they desire. She completed doula training with DONA International in 2019. Since then she has gained experience by attending both medicated and unmedicated births in hospitals, birth centers, and home births (while also having her fourth baby at home). She has provided doula support for VBAC births, vaginal breech births, and c-sections. Erin is familiar with many types of birthing methods, including HypnoBirthing, HypnoBabies, and The Bradley Method. She was recently certified as a VBAC doula as well as in the Body Ready Method. Erin is also trained in reiki, safe baby massage, diabetes during pregnancy, breastfeeding consultation, and is continually seeking training to expand her knowledge and expertise. Her training has fueled her passion for the incredible birth process, the indescribable strength of a birthing person's body, and her desire to help people have the birth they want!

When Erin isn't attending births she is driving her children around to their activities, playing board games, spending time outside, or catching up with family and friends.

She is the Chapter Leader of ICAN Weber/Davis County.

It was during this journey she found her love for The Bradley Method and one of life's most precious moments, the birth of a child. She feels very strongly about being an advisor to birthing people so they can have the birth they intend, without unnecessary interventions due to lack of knowledge.
Karina's goal as a doula is simply to improve birth – by helping to reduce physical and emotional trauma, by empowering through knowledge and practice, and to advocate for safer birth experiences led by the birthing person's own body.
Karina has had three hospital births: un-medicated, cesarean, and un-medicated vaginal birth after cesarean and knows that regardless of circumstance, all births can be beautiful.

Rebekkah Twede CD(DONA) CVD(TVL)

“Do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” For Bekkah, this is working with families. Empowering, educating, supporting.
Bekkah’s path to doula work started in 2015 during her second pregnancy. Empowered by her own experience, she was inspired to help other women have their own empowering experiences.
Bekkah comes to doula care with a desire to make a difference with each unique family she works with. Her goal is to be a calm, informed presence in the room, providing comfort not only to the birthing person but also to the loved ones supporting the birth experience.
Bekkah believes that women are capable of far more than they give themselves credit for regarding childbirth and motherhood. She is a great listener and has a keen ability to ‘meet you where you are’.
Bekkah believes there is no right or wrong way to give birth. She has experience with many birthing techniques and environments including medicated and unmedicated births, home birth, hospital and birth center births, VBAC, C-section, Preeclampsia, Diabetes, NICU and more. She also has experience working with an array of family and parent types.
She is happy to now work alongside the DCD team of passionate and knowledgeable doulas!
When she isn’t doula-ing, you can find her baking all the treats, reading all the books, petting all the dogs and spending time with her husband and 3 children.
