Bonnie Baker, Monitrice, HCHI, HCHD, PES

Bonnie is a mother, wife, yogi, bookworm, and wanna-be world traveler. She is also a birth doula, Hypnobabies instructor, placenta encapsulation specialist, bengkung belly binder, and a fertility educator.
She has supported birthing people in many birth situations such as vaginal breech birth, home births, planned epidurals, special needs c-section, and un-medicated births. Bonnie 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 birthing person and their birth team.
When Bonnie is not focusing on her clients or promoting safe and healthy pregnancies for all birthing people, she usually can be found in the school carpool line, on her yoga mat, running, or burning cookies cause she is day dreaming of traveling the world. Bonnie 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

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

After successfully birthing 3 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 and is working towards her doula certification. She is currently a member of the Utah Doula Association and volunteers on 2 of their committees. Erin is trained in safe baby massage and 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!

Karina Robinson, Monitrice, CAD(MCU), CHD, CVD(TVL), AAHCC, PES

Specialties: In addition to low-risk pregnancies, Karina specializes in VBAC, High-risk pregnancies, and Diabetes during pregnancy (Type 1, Type 2, Gestational).
Karina is a monitrice, certified advanced birth doula, certified hypnodoula, certified VBAC doula, The Diabetic Doula, The Bradley Method® instructor, placenta encapsulation specialist, and Bengkung belly binding practitioner. 
She is the Chapter Leader of ICAN Weber/Davis County. She became passionate about improving birth experiences and empowering birthers during her first pregnancy which was categorized as high-risk due to Type 1 Diabetes. 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. She also has personal experience with high risk pregnancy and can skillfully educate on things that others may not have reason to know.
In her spare time she enjoys learning, camping and traveling with her three children and husband of ten years. 

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.
