Hi!

My name is Megan Peasley (she/her) and I’m the founder of Illuminated Birth.

I’m a Massachusetts doula, birth photographer, and childbirth educator with a science background, who believes in the power of intuition, information, and support during the transformative experience of birth, postpartum, and early parenthood.

We welcome and support all birthing people from ALL backgrounds.

This is an LGBTQ+ friendly, affirming, and safe space.

Education and community support are the foundation of a good birth experience. Prepare for your birth with an in-person childbirth education class and meet other parents-to-be!

Your birth experience matters.

Childbirth education and doula support are proven to improve birth outcomes, reduce cesarean rates, and help to make birth a positive experience. As your childbirth educator and doula, I will be by your side, providing continuous care from pregnancy through birth and into postpartum.

My goal is to help you to start out life with your baby with confidence, peace, and joy.

Documenting your birth story matters.

Birth photos capture one of the most amazing moments of your life and the beginning of your child’s story. They are a priceless memento of the courage, beauty, joy, and love of your birth experience.

Our birth stories stay with us our whole lives. Your birth photos can help you preserve the details and even see your birth story in a whole new light.
