Meet Your Doula
Natalie Witek- Certified Birth Doula
Hi there! My name is Natalie Witek. I am a Christian, wife, mom and DONA-trained & Madriella certified birth doula with professional experience in massage therapy (which many laboring moms really appreciate!). I am currently also in the process of becoming an ALPP certified lactation counselor.
My passion for birth began at a young age when I supported my mom during the birth of my sister. This was one of the most miraculous, exciting and joy-filled experiences I had ever been a part of and it left me wanting more.
For six years, I have had the privilege of serving families as a birth doula in all types of beautiful and unique births. I’m excited to learn how I can help make your birth experience a positive, life-long memory.
The Elgin Doula Experience
My goal as your doula is to walk with you every step of the way, providing education, emotional support, physical comfort measures as well as evidence-based research, empowering you to make informed choices during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
My own journey to becoming a mother has given me an even deeper level of empathy. My husband and I struggled with fertility and a devastating miscarriage. After years of heartache, God blessed us with our beautiful baby girl. When our bundle of joy arrived early, I had an unexpected change of plans in our birth location. Without the support of my doula and husband, this change of plans would have been a challenge for me.
My support team helped me feel safe, loved and cared for and I wish this for you as well. Working together, we can create a sense of peace, calm and confidence. I want you to know that I am here for you. I can’t wait to walk with you on this beautiful journey.
