Hello! I am a Chicago-based, body-positive, sex-positive, gender-affirming birth doula trained by DONA International. I serve pregnant people by providing continuous support throughout their pregnancy, labor and birth.
Wherever someone decides to give birth–at home or at the hospital–my job is to help them achieve their goals.
I value and honor each of my clients’ births as sacred and unique. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or to schedule a free in-person consultation at vivianadeleewing@gmail.com or by clicking Contact below.
Update: I’m now providing virtual support.
Services:
• Two prenatal visits to get to know each other, discuss your goals for birth and practice hands-on labor support.
• Unlimited communication throughout your pregnancy to answer questions and suggest resources.
• Continuous emotional and physical support throughout labor.
• A home visit to discuss the birth experience.
Fees:
I am growing my practice and am pleased to offer my services for a low, flexible rate.
Testimonials:
“We were so glad to have Vivian as our doula. She provided the amount of involvement we asked for and helped us feel prepared for any scenario, by writing an adaptive birth plan together. During the birthing, she knew what we wanted, and helped us get there by making our wishes clear to everyone involved. We’re so grateful for Vivian’s support and highly recommend her. “
–Molly and Arno
“Vivian was such a wonderful presence throughout my birth experience. She helped both me and my partner feel calm and empowered as we faced a variety of challenges both expected (birthing during a pandemic) and unexpected (a breech delivery via c-section). I am so grateful that I had her support and will be recommending her to all my pregnant friends!”
–Hilary Wallcox
I look forward to hearing from you.
