Why Fireweed?
Adina grew up here in the northwest and developed a love of nature and respect for wildfires.  Fireweed, one of the first plants that returns to a burn area, is a symbol of new life and of beauty from trial, much like birth.

Adina Nelson, CD(DONA)
Hi!  I'm Adina Nelson.  I first became interested in birth work in 2008 after the birth of my first child.  Her birth really brought home to me how important labor support and adequate preparation are.  I had neither.  After her birth, I began learning everything I could about the process and choices surrounding birth and how that affects babies, mothers, and families.  After I realized that having a perfect birth was not a prerequisite for becoming a doula (because, yes, I'm a doula without having had an amazing birth) I began pursuing doula work as a career.
​

I trained with DONA in May of 2011 and served families in the Indianapolis area for 8 years.  During that time I was honored to attend 85 births and serve 96 families.  In June of 2019 my family moved to North Idaho.  I am excited to now be serving the families of the Inland Northwest!  In addition to doula work, I teach GentleBirth classes and have additional training in hypnosis and clinical aromatherapy.  While in Indiana, I served as the area ICAN Chapter Leader and believe strongly in birth options after a cesarean. Maternal mental health is my primary motivation for the work I do and my desire is to support families in informed choices!

I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho with my husband and two beautiful daughters.  We also run Fireweed Naturals, specializing in homemade soaps.  When not doing birth-related things you will find me running kids places, knitting, and sporadically running.
Mission:
I believe that having a baby should be an exciting, joyful experience, not scary!  I believe in a healthy baby AND a healthy mama and that both are possible.  I believe in education so you can confidently make the best choices for you.  I believe in coming along side so you aren't alone.  I don't necessarily empower you or advocate for you; I support you in using your own authority to get the care and help you deserve!
Schedule Consultation
I had a wonderful experience with Adina ... The benefit for me and what I will always be grateful for was having the extra support.  In partnership with my husband and nurse, Adina was able to help me feel positive and empowered as I moved through labor without medication.  This was my first time giving birth and I look back on it in such a grateful and positive way thanks to my nurses and Adina. ~Emily
