Harmony Ogungbade

Harmony is a Postpartum, Labor Support, and Sibling Care Doula at Birthways, Inc., serving the greater Chicago area. She brings decades of childcare experience into her work as a doula. Harmony loves supporting expectant parents and families with physical and emotional support, sharing her wealth of information, facilitating communication with the medical care team, and navigating health care systems and supports. She has experience in hospital and home birth settings.

Harmony’s breadth and depth of knowledge on newborn/infant development make her an amazing resource and calming presence amidst the transitions of parenting. Harmony has experience supporting children with special needs, including sensory and developmental challenges. She is warm, friendly, and engaging – we know you’ll enjoy connecting with her!

I feel so alive in the role of service. I am passionate about parents being well informed and empowered to have a healthy, safe birth. Whenever I have a chance to engage with an expectant or new parent I feel such privilege and responsibility. Babies give me incredible peace and I love learning new things about their growth and development – and oh, that baby smell!

Diana Sullivan

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.

Ruby Daniel

Ruby Daniel is a certified Labor Support, Sibling Care, and Postpartum doula at Birthways, Inc., serving the greater Chicago area. Ruby is passionate about labor support and understands the importance of informing families of their care options in every situation so that they feel prepared and empowered to have an informed, safe, and intentional birth experience. She supports families in celebrating the challenges and joys of pregnancy, and welcoming a new family member.

Alongside her professional qualifications, Ruby is a theater artist in Chicago, enjoys exploring the city and seeing live music, is an avid cook, loves to help take care of family pets, and is more than willing to keep your home tidy and clean. Ruby will also be happy to share her personal experiences with holistic and alternative medicines, herbal remedies, yoga, breathwork, and holistic body practices.

I am passionate about smoothing the transition and sharing knowledge about the postpartum journey so families are equipped to be successful and handle challenges from day one. I doula so that I can witness, lift up, and facilitate the unique bond between a new arrival and the family they are coming into, while ensuring the parents feel that they’re supported, heard, and not alone.
