Offering empowering, inclusive, compassionate care for your journey.

My name is Millie, and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula dedicated to supporting birthing people and those who care for them. The name of my business, Timshel, marks my commitment to empowerment, bodily autonomy, and ensuring that my clients are able to take on active, informed roles in their own pregnancies—you can read more here.

I am passionate about protecting the right of all people to build their families, and to be affirmed and treated with dignity while doing so. Whether you’re preparing to give birth, navigating postpartum, or grieving a loss, I would be honored to join you on this journey.

  • “As first-time parents, everything felt new and overwhelming at times, but Millie’s caring, sweet, and calming presence made such a difference. She was incredibly helpful, always offering guidance, reassurance, and practical support when we needed it most. Her kindness and genuine care for both our baby and our family helped us feel more confident as we adjusted to life with our little one. We are so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to any growing family!!” — Meara V.

  • “[Millie] was my doula for 6 weeks after we came home from the hospital, and her gentle presence and practical support were invaluable in helping us adjust to our new little family. What I appreciated most about Millie is her flexibility and willingness to provide whatever our family needed most that day—whether it was caring for baby, tidying up, playing with our preschooler, prepping a meal, or giving me the space to take a shower and run an errand. She has a kind and calm presence, and my only regret is not having her around for my first birth. She's the best!” — Madeleine H.

  • “Millie is a gift to the world of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood! … First came pregnancy: so much of my pregnancy was calling Millie with questions and concerns. She met me with logical and empathetic answers that helped me brave the storm of hormones and fears. Then came labor: she held my hand and coached me through seemingly-impossible movements and contractions. Not to mention the labor was 72 hours and she showed up every day with positivity and attentiveness … Mildred is truly a gift, and in the world of doulas, I can confidently say there is no one I would have rather held by hand.” — Alyssa C.

  • “Millie worked with us for postpartum care and they are excellent - so easy to talk with and get into a rhythm. As this is our first kiddo we also appreciate how Millie helped us organize the nursery and even get into small details like better ways of folding and storing onesies. Really grateful we got connected to Millie.” — Noah C.
