Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Antoinette, the founder of The Fourth Trimester Wellness, a DONA-certified postpartum doula based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a single mom, I’ve personally walked through the emotional and physical challenges that come with the early days of motherhood. I know what it’s like to feel exhausted, unsure, and alone—and that’s exactly why I started this business.

I created The Fourth Trimester Wellness to offer the kind of compassionate, hands-on support I wish I had during my postpartum journey. My services include in-home care, emotional support, newborn care guidance, and lactation support to help new moms feel more confident and cared for during this life-changing transition.

You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you need a listening ear, an extra set of hands, or help with feeding, I’m here to be the steady support you deserve. At The Fourth Trimester Wellness, I’m building the village—one mom at a time.
