Shot in the dark here...Chicago area doula?

Has anyone had any experience with a Chicago area doula that they loved and would recommend or was highly recommended by a friend?  I feel like I don't know where to start!  I looked at the DONA website but there are so many!  How am I just supposed to randomly pick someone?

Did you post on the Chicago board here on the Bump?

You might have better luck checking their local board. 

Here is a clicky link:

I gave birth to DS on July 1 of 2008 at Evanston Hospital.  My doula couldn't attend the labor so she had to send her back up doula, whom I loved.  Her name is Leah Koop.  She is a certified Doula.  She definitely was a big factor in me being able to deliver naturally. Good luck to you!

 Here is her information:
