Sensitive and sophisticated doula support for your passage into parenthood.
Serving Western Wisconsin

Welcome! I'm Diana!
Mother. Wife. Doula. Longtime birth advocate.
Matrescence is my birth & postpartum doula practice serving Northwestern Wisconsin, including Menomonie, Eau Claire, Rice Lake, Hudson and the northern Blufflands/Driftless region.
Named for the enormous social and emotional initiation into motherhood, the Matrescence mission is to honor birth and postpartum as the sacred rites of passage they are.
I have been heavily involved in local & national birth advocacy for over 10 years, but my journey as a doula began after the birth of my first son in 2017. Since then I have attended over 100 births, trained as a midwife's assistant, presented at conferences and taught classes on informed consent for both professionals and consumers, and served as an ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) chapter leader. Although I am experienced attending all types of births, as both a cesarean & homebirth mom, I specialize in VBAC and out-of-hospital birth.
I look forward to supporting you in your unique journey!
