Lindsay Dougal (she/her)
CD, RYT-500, CPYT, CBE, Certified Sound Healing Practitioner
Lindsay is a believer in the power of a strong support network and grounds her practice in empowering birth-givers to remain informed of their options, pursue birth education, turn back to themselves, and—most importantly—feel supported in their journey. Supporting families as a doula since 2017, she has a passion for birth, and believes empowering and sacred birth experiences can, and do, happen everywhere. Lindsay is an inclusive and trauma-aware doula, who meets you where you’re at. She loves working with all types of families as they mindfully prepare to birth and parent their little ones, and has expertise in working with families pregnant again after loss.
Lindsay is a born-and-bred Utah native, and introverted to the core (living that INFJ life). She’s the wife of an amazingly supportive partner and mother to four stunning kiddos (3 earthside, 1 in the stars). She eats cookies like it’s her day job, loves fermenting all the things, and has some swear words she really likes using. When she’s not working with birthing families, you may find Lindsay daydreaming about far away lands she’d like to visit, concocting new herbal recipes, or snuggling on the couch with a soft blanket.
Rewilding Birth was founded by Lindsay in 2020.

My Ideal Client
I love working with families who:
are aware of the emotional and philosophical aspects of birth, and are open to conversations around them—I have a lot of experience helping people who’ve experienced loss and other forms of trauma prepare for birth
are highly motivated, active participants in their birth—seeking out personal education and greater self-awareness
have defined intentions for their birth, AND hold space for the mysterious, unpredictable nature of birth
value collaborative, multidisciplinary care—having awareness around the value in a balance between medical and holistic care options
have chosen the midwifery model of care (in or out of hospital), or are high-risk and have very mindfully chosen an OB
