Meet Angelina

Alex doula chicago

Angelina is a full spectrum doula trained through Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings (BADT). She has her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and is working on finishing her Master’s degree. Caring for families throughout this important time and walking alongside them through pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum is such an honor and privilege. She is very skilled at supporting families and supporting them as they find their own path.

As a labor doula, she enjoys helping families to find a voice and have an empowering birth experience.  As a postpartum doula she enjoys supporting families as they find their footing and is so happy to jump right in with education, hands on support and providing peace of mind.

As a doula, she provides inclusive care and is very skilled at supporting parents with navigating this exciting and sometimes overwhelming journey of parenthood. Angelina has had a passion for reproductive work since high school, where she wrote papers on reproductive justice, advocating for reproductive rights for all. It wasn’t until college when she first heard about doulas and all they do, which pushed her to a clearer path of reproductive work. After completing her full-spectrum doula training and MSW, Angelina hopes to use them both to further engage in inclusive and compassionate reproductive care with her clients in various settings.

Prior to her career as a doula Angelina has cared for children who are on the autism spectrum, which was very rewarding! She is currently working with postpartum clients in the clinic setting, assisting them with finding community resources, providing education on various topics, and making sure parents can find appropriate providers for medical referrals for their children. She understands that the postpartum journey can look different for everyone and she hopes that she can empower her clients to advocate for themselves and their child(ren).

When not supporting families, Angelina enjoys spending time with her husband, two cats, and hedgehog. She loves to be outside, is a major foodie, and loves to travel and create new memories.
