Johnie Evans is a birth and postpartum doula whose journey began with her most important role—becoming a parent. Experiencing firsthand the emotional and physical intensity of childbirth and the early postpartum period, she felt a deep calling to support other families through this powerful transition. Based in the Chicago suburbs, Johnie now offers calm, compassionate, and informed care to parents as they step into one of life’s most sacred transformations.
With experience in both birth and postpartum care, Johnie blends evidence-based information with nurturing, intuitive support. Her care is always personalized—whether that means offering grounding techniques during labor, helping a new parent find their rhythm at home, or simply being a steady, nonjudgmental presence throughout the process.
What sets Johnie apart is her commitment to building lasting relationships and providing continuity of care. She walks with families before, during, and after birth—creating a safe, supportive space where they can ask questions, express emotions, and be fully seen. Her approach is rooted in trust, connection, and honoring the unique journey of each parent she serves.
For Johnie, the most fulfilling part of her work is witnessing parents grow in confidence and step into their new roles with strength and joy. Outside of her doula practice, she’s a proud mom who cherishes time with her children and unwinds with a good book. She brings her whole heart to every birth, honoring each story with presence, care, and deep respect.
My greatest joy in this work is watching parents realize how capable and strong they truly are. I’m here to remind you of that strength, every step of the way. My hope for you is that you feel supported, seen, and truly confident as you step into this next chapter.
