Birth and Postpartum Doula
MEET ALEX
I love women, children and families, and have always been inspired by the strength of women and the miracle of birth. My name is Alex Hamas and I am a certified holistic doula serving the Chicagoland area. I am here to provide emotional support, necessary and unbiased information in order to benefit women and families during all stages of pregnancy including prenatal, childbirth, and postpartum.
I have worked for the last three years in the mental health field and I am now involved in the birthworker community in the suburbs of Chicago. During my time working in mental health, I have worked with women who struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, postpartum depression/anxiety, and more. Some areas I specialize in include, but are not exclusive to, mothers with a history of depression, anxiety, trauma, previous birth trauma, and mothers with a limited support system.
​
I believe that each woman deserves to have a say in every aspect of their birth. I am here to help guide and assist women and families in making educated choices about their pregnancy and birth plan. I am also there to empower each mother to trust in the strength of their bodies during this time. To learn more about my experience or my services, feel free to contact me by email at empoweredbirth.il@gmail.com or by phone at 630-201-1079.
