Meet Ronae Cleland

Certified Birth Doula and Certified Lactation Specialist

I have always been passionate about serving and encouraging other women. As I have walked through my own parenting journey, my interest in all things birth and breastfeeding has continually grown. I began working with various non-profit organizations in 2014 to support women in their breastfeeding goals, and have worked as a birth doula both privately and through area non-profits since 2020.

I have experience supporting families in hospital, birth center, and home births. It is important to me that women feel encouraged and supported throughout their birth story, wherever it takes them. I feel it is crucial for birth workers to empower women to understand their options in pregnancy and birth so they are able to provide true informed consent, playing an active role in their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. I believe that women are strong and capable of doing what their bodies are created to do, and that accepting medical interventions when necessary is also an immense show of a woman’s strength and love for her child. ♡
