Rebecca Vasquez
Hello, I'm Rebecca, the founder of House to Home Doula Services, where I'm dedicated to guiding and supporting you through your unique journey into motherhood. My own transformative experience with childbirth and the unwavering support of my doula, Amanda from Faithful Haven Collective, inspired me to embark on this incredible path. The empowering feeling of having an advocate by my side during pregnancy and labor was a revelation. It was Amanda's presence and support that made my birthing experience so positive and memorable. That transformative moment ignited my passion to become a doula myself.
Before becoming a doula, I spent over eight years working in childcare, honing my skills in nurturing, and advocating for the needs of children and their families. Currently, I am a Realtor, and in both of these roles, my top priority has always been to be a strong advocate for my clients. Offering education and unwavering support has been my way of helping clients feel comfortable and informed.
After hearing countless labor stories, both positive and not-so-positive, following my own journey into motherhood, I felt a deep calling to become an advocate for mothers in their birthing experiences. I believe that every expectant parent deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. As your doula, I'm committed to offering unbiased information, emotional guidance, and physical comfort tailored to your unique needs and preferences. I firmly believe in the power of informed choices and the importance of respecting your autonomy. My role is to be your steadfast companion, providing reassurance and encouragement when you need it most. I’m passionate about ensuring that you receive the support and knowledge you deserve during this monumental time in your life. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions, embrace your journey into motherhood, and create positive, lasting memories along the way.”
Rebecca serves clients in the following counties: Washington, Ozaukee, Waukesha, and Milwaukee.

Molly Plocher
Molly is a birth and postpartum doula who was trained by Amanda Echols through Doulaing the Doula. Molly spent the last few years studying nutrition and the birth world. After seeing women in her life struggle with sifting through all of the information available as well as postpartum, she decided it was time she take a step to help women. While she hasn’t gone through labor herself, she makes up for that with empathy and love.
Molly is constantly astonished by the transformation women go through during labor. The Creator deigned our bodies to form, nurture, and encourage life. The name “Maiden to Mothers” is an encapsulation of that right of passage. Molly sees prenatal visits as a girls day, where you can chat about anything and everything! She seeks to create a bond with you that will allow you to worry about one less thing as baby makes their way earth-side.
Motherhood requires sacrifice, and postpartum can be an adjustment as women navigate that adjustment. With her postpartum packages, Molly offers women the space to find what it takes for them to be the best mother and wife. Whether you need someone to watch the baby overnight to get some much needed sleep, someone to help you get caught up on laundry and cleaning, or just a friendly face to keep you company, Molly finds joy in the small things that make your life easier
Molly will begin to serve families in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee counties.

Flynn Cibik
Hi my name is Flynn and I am very passionate about guiding women and families throughout the entire birth journey. There is so much happening before, during, and after birth, and finding someone to be there to support you and hold your hand throughout the process is what I’m here for.
My passion and love for babies and birth came about through the birth of my 2 children. Giving birth to my babies was an incredible experience that changed me in every way. Each of my births was very different and I realized that there is so much that can happen during the birthing process. There is beauty in the diversity of birth and that is something that I feel very strongly about. Every birth is wonderful and valid and I am very supportive of the individual and what she needs in order to feel fulfilled with the experience. I believe that mothers should be able to have the birth that they desire and I want to be there for you to be your advocate.
One thing that really made my own births so special, was the support and care that I received after my deliveries. That support and encouragement really set me up for success when it came to all of the things that follow giving birth. Whether it be doing some dishes, watching the kiddos so you can nap, or just bringing some needed postpartum items, I feel that help is extremely important in taking some of the load off. It really does take a village!
Flynn serves clients in Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee and Sheboygan Counties.
