About Cassie

DONA International approved birth doula course

Breastfeeding Champion Course with Dr. Anne Eglash

Certification in LGBTQ Allyship from Lakeland University

“I’m passionate about providing safe, informed, and empowering care to all birthing parents during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I love building strong relationships with clients by listening to stories, creating birth plans, and helping to work through any fears, concerns, or barriers.

My passion for birth and perinatal care started at a young age but it wasn’t until having my own children that I realized how important this work is. My professional journey in perinatal support started in 2020 when I helped start the Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program at Dane County WIC. This role allowed me to support parents from the beginning of their pregnancy all the way through to the end of their breastfeeding journeys. It was in this role that I found a love of supporting parents through life transitions and eventually pushed me to complete my doula training through DONA, in 2021.

When I’m not working with clients you can find me with my family either exploring the outdoors or baking at home.”

Testimonials:

“After our miscarriage, we began to search for a doula when we found out we were pregnant a few months later, knowing we would need a little extra emotional support. Cassie was the first doula we zoomed with, and knew we wouldn’t need to look further. She is everything one would hope for in a doula, so I will tell you what makes Cassie exceptional.

Cassie has extensive knowledge to provide the most well-rounded support during all phases of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. She will seek out answers to your questions, providing sources rooted in recent research and practice, coupled with her professional experience.

She genuinely cares about her clients. From the moment we met, Cassie’s warm and calm demeanor emanates. When my labor started, she provided guidance and reassurance over the phone until we met at the hospital. I literally leaned on her for support through my contractions, as she coached and encouraged. When I felt like I couldn’t push any longer, her words kept me going. I was able to have an unmedicated birth, and Cassie played an integral role in making that happen.”

“I am so happy that I chose to pursue the doula services with Align, and specifically happy that I worked with Cassie. My experience was unique because I requested services so late in my pregnancy. But she made our time together valuable and assisted me with calming my nerves and anxieties surrounding labor & delivery. She has a very calm and collected demeanor and is knowledgeable about the entire birth experience. I felt like she was a great listener to all of my birth preferences, and when I was too tired or confused during labor to make tough decisions, she helped me think logically through each scenario and choose the best option. She was respectful and supportive of any decision I chose to make and made me feel empowered as a new mother. She also created my entire birth story for me, which I will keep forever and can't wait to show my baby someday :) I would definitely love to use her services again in the future, God-willing!”

"Cassie was absolutely fantastic. I had a very traumatic birth with my first and knew I wanted to do things different the second time around. Cassie was great with providing reassurance, prenatal support, and preparing me for the birth I wanted. She followed my desires and provided advice where needed. She was great with communication and on the day of labor, she was very supportive with my birth wishes and was a great advocate for me with the rest of my birth team."
