About
Diana is a postpartum doula at Birthways, Inc., serving the greater Chicago area with a passion for supporting new families. She is knowledgeable and experienced with fussy and colicky babies, support for the baby blues and perinatal mood disorders, and has worked with twin families. Diana is happy to meet the practical needs of the family, knowing that a nap, a clean kitchen, or delicious meal are just as important as the reassurance or guidance she has to offer.
Diana believes in creating an environment of honesty and trust by communicating openly and authentically while respecting the opinions of others. She values listening to the needs and concerns of families she serves and responding with a sense of urgency and compassion, striving to always respect individuality and embrace diversity and inclusion.

Diana was a tremendous support—moral, emotional, physical—prior to the birth of my twins. She’s been one of the top people to help out since their birth and during my return to work, she has gladly pitched in and helped watch them. She’s one of the first people I reach out to.
