Sensitive and sophisticated doula support for your passage into parenthood.
Western Wisconsin & Saint Paul, MN

Welcome! I'm Diana!
Doula. Mother. Wife. Home birth and midwifery enthusiast. Longtime birth advocate.
Matrescence is my birth & postpartum doula practice serving Western Wisconsin (including Baldwin, Hudson, River Falls, Menomonie and Eau Claire), Stillwater and Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Minnesota. Named for the enormous social and emotional initiation into parenthood, the Matrescence mission is to honor birth and postpartum as the sacred rites of passage they are.
I offer a range of non-clinical services in my communities, including prenatal and postpartum visits, labor and birth support, information, referrals and advocacy. As both a cesarean and home birth mom, I specialize in VBAC and out-of-hospital birth, and trauma-informed care.
Matrescence is an inclusive practice. I strive to provide compassionate, affirming care to people of all identities, faiths and family structures. I look forward to supporting you in your unique journey.
