ABOUT ME
Greetings! I am Isis Rose. I am a birth professional based in Urbana, Illinois and serving East Central Illinois. I am known for my work as a doula. I now take doula clients on a case by case basis. I’m now a student at Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery (CCSM) pursuing a certified professional midwife (CPM) credential. My goal is to become the first Black, licensed and certified professional midwife based in Urbana-Champaign. So, I will be opening my homebirth midwifery practice in 2025!
BIPOC for Better Birth
I am also the co-founder and executive director of BIPOC for Better Birth. My co-founders, Victoria Baez and Michelle Burton, and I are building a more robust birthing and parenting community in Urbana-Champaign and surrounding underserved, rural communities. For years, I've wondered what it would look like to have more BIPOC doulas in East Central Illinois. To have more safe spaces for BIPOC people to share their birth stories, share our fears, traumas, triumphs and joys, to report our grievances -- to be heard! --so that we may see ourselves have better, safer births, more dignified prenatal and postpartum care, and to call out racism whenever we encounter it in the medical, maternal health system. It's time to reclaim birth, midwifery, and simply take up more space! Will you join us?! Check out our website for more information and complete our subscriber form here.
