Doulas that Accept Aetna in Michigan

Hello! My name is Arianna, but most people call me Ana (ah-nuh). I'm a birth and postpartum doula serving families in central Michigan (based in the Big Rapids/Paris area). My journey into birth work began 12 years ago when I attended my first birth, and it's been a deep passion ever since. I completed my birth & postpartum doula training in 2017 and have loved supporting families through labor, birth, and the early postpartum days. It's truly an honor to be invited into such a sacred space, providing the steady support every mom deserves during one of life's biggest moments. I know birth and postpartum can be tough, but you are too. I'm here to offer physical comfort measures, emotional encouragement, and evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions that align with your unique needs and preferences. My husband Devan and I have been married for 10 years, and we're parents to 4 wonderful kids. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, listening to audiobooks, thrifting for treasures, baking, and spending quality time with my family. I'd love to chat about how I can support you—feel free to reach out anytime! Warmly, Ana

Peace! My name is Shekita. I am a CAAPA-trained, Community-Based Birth Doula registered with the State of Michigan’s Doula Initiative.

I see birth as crossing a threshold between worlds to welcome new life. My role is to walk alongside you as a steady, compassionate guide—moving at your pace, holding space for your emotions, and offering support for both the physical and emotional layers of your journey.

Choosing a doula is about finding someone you feel safe with, supported by, and truly listened to. I believe every family deserves to feel respected, informed, and cared for during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My goal is to create a calm, steady presence so parents can focus on welcoming their baby with confidence. I am a DONA Certified birth and postpartum doula, a Lactation Specialist, and VBAC certified. I also have training in techniques such as Spinning Babies, the Miles Circuit, and a variety of labor positions and comfort measures that can help support progress and reduce discomfort during labor. My role during birth is to help create a calm environment, offer practical comfort techniques, and support both the birthing person and their partner so they feel informed and empowered throughout the experience. After birth, my focus shifts to helping families rest, recover, and adjust to life with their new baby. Postpartum support can include newborn care guidance, feeding support, emotional encouragement, and helping parents find their rhythm during those early weeks. Every family is different, and I meet people where they are and support them in the ways that feel most helpful to them. I proudly accept Medicaid as well as private pay so that more families can access doula support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Supporting families during this time is truly meaningful work to me, and I feel honored to be invited into such an important moment in people’s lives. When I am not working with families, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and visiting the beach where I love collecting rocks along the shore.
