Each of our midwifery assistants are happy to provide postpartum doula services. These services extend beyond the care provided by Believe Midwifery Services, LLC and are hired independent of our practice. Please connect with the assistant of your choosing directly.

Keely Lane

Keely Lane has a natural ease with children and babies, and as the daughter of a midwife, her understanding of birthing principles, breastfeeding and early parenting are second nature to her.

Keely has attended the DONA doula program, the Midwife Assistant Course through Believe Midwifery Services, is certified in CPR and Neonatal Resuscitation, and is currently a student EMT. She currently works as the Administrative Assistant and as a Midwife Assistant in the office and at homebirths.

Raised with four younger brothers and schooled at home, Keely has become quite the cook, teacher, and homemaker. These services she would like to extend to new families within the community.

Keely is happy to arrange services one to three days a week, for 1-4 weeks and intermittently after that point. Her fee ranges from $10 to $15 an hour based on distance from Thorntown, and day or nighttime services. Keely can be reached via e-mail or phone, 765-237-2124.
