The Diabetic Doula.
Hey Mama, How are you today?
Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Wondering how you’re juggling all the plates all the time?
​
I get it. And I hear you.
This shit is hard.
​
Not only are you living with a lifelong chronic health condition (thanks, Type 1 diabetes) that takes up a lot of brain space — you’re also navigating the demands of pregnancy/postpartum/motherhood.
​
All while keeping a house, trying to hold onto your career, maybe running a business, maintaining a social life, nurturing relationships, managing family life, eating well, carb counting, exercising (maybe)?
No wonder it feels like everything is on your shoulders.
I see you. I’m Beth — a Type 1 diabetic mama of two young children, just trying to muddle through life: to be a good person, friend, mother, wife, sister, daughter... trying to hold onto my sanity, my identity, and my marriage!
​
Wherever you're at right now, I’m here to help you navigate this season of life. Whether that means:
Supporting you to advocate for yourself in maternity appointments
Helping you move through the depths of postpartum
Or finding some balance in the chaos of motherhood
​
I create transformational spaces where you feel seen, celebrated, and supported.
Where you can take a breath.
And begin the journey back to you. The real you.
​
I understand the difficult path you're on and how heavy it can feel — and I’m here to walk beside you.
​
We are shifting the narrative around Type 1 Diabetes in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Welcome.​​​​​
“Beth helped me cut through the fear and find real, evidence-based support. I now feel confident advocating for the birth my baby and I deserve.”

Hi, I'm Beth
Hey, I’m Beth Hawkins, a proud Type 1 diabetic mama of two wild and wonderful little humans.
Life hasn’t always been easy juggling diabetes, pregnancy, motherhood, and everything in between. But here I am, still standing, still learning, and fiercely passionate about helping women like you find your power and peace through it all.
​
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by endless appointments, confusing advice, and the pressure to be everything all at once. I’ve been there; exhausted, anxious, and sometimes just done with it all. But through my own journey, I found a way to advocate for myself, nurture my body and soul, and create a motherhood experience that felt right for me.
That’s why I created Diabetic Doula, to be the support I wish I’d had. To walk alongside you through fertility struggles, pregnancy highs and lows, birth, postpartum healing, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood. I blend my lived experience with evidence-based knowledge and a whole lot of heart.
​
When we work together, you’ll find a space where you’re truly seen, heard, and celebrated - no judgement, just compassion and empowerment. Because you deserve that. Always.
​
I’m here to help you shift the narrative around Type 1 diabetes and motherhood, one story, one birth, and one mama at a time.
