Hi, I am a newly trained birth Doula serving the Michiana area from Kalamazoo to St. Joe to South Bend. I am currently still persuing my certification, but am very eager to jump in whole hearted to the birth world. I have two babies of my own, with two very different birth stories and I know firsthand there will always be a need and place for doula support during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period. I am naturally minded and love physiologic birth but also recognize that each woman is unique and a successful birth is by their own definition. In my free time you'll find me chasing my babies and consuming copious amounts of coffee. I look forward to chatting with you!

I am a compassionate and supportive doula dedicated to nurturing families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. My role is to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support, helping birthing people feel empowered, informed, and respected in their choices. I bring a calm presence, active listening, and a deep respect for the natural rhythms of birth, while also adapting to the unique needs and preferences of each family. My approach combines evidence-based knowledge with intuitive care, ensuring that families feel safe, heard, and confident. Whether through comfort measures, advocacy, or simply holding space, I strive to create a grounded, reassuring environment that allows the birthing process to unfold with dignity and strength.

Hello! I'm Logan! My journey to becoming a doula was deeply influenced by my own personal experiences with childbirth. I've experienced a range of birth scenarios, including two cesarean sections, and three VBAC births. After my initial two C-sections, I felt a strong desire for a better birth experience. This led me to immerse myself in research about birth and VBAC options. With the knowledge I gained, I felt empowered to pursue a VBAC and was successful in achieving three vaginal births. I am passionate about educating and empowering other women to understand their options and feel supported in making the best choices for their own birth journey. I'm here to support you, as together we research, learn, and prepare for the birth you envision. I'm proud to be a certified doula through the West Michigan Midwifery Institute, and I'm committed to providing compassionate and informed support to every woman I serve.

When I got pregnant with our fourth child my husband and I both knew without a doubt that we wanted Logan to be our doula. She’s everything a pregnant momma could ask for! Logan is a great encourager, advocate, and educator. She takes the time to listen to other people’s needs and desires and works to make those a reality. I have complicated pregnancies and Logan made sure to take the time to do some research regarding my needs, pointed me to many valuable resources, and helped me think through what the best options were for me. She is honest, yet gentle and genuinely cares about those she works with. Logan was willing to go to doctors appointments with me as well to help voice my desires when my OB was unwilling to listen to or work with me. With her by my side I always felt much more at ease and prepared to welcome a precious new life into the world. I would choose Logan for a doula again every single time, hands down!

Hello, I'm Mary! As a birth doula, I am a part of your birth team! I provide non-judgmental support and advocate for your birth wishes, even as plans evolve throughout the course of labor and delivery. I do not make healthcare decisions for you or speak on your behalf, but encourage you and your partner to voice your birth preferences and offer informational guidance to help you make well-informed decisions. My goal is for you to have an empowered and satisfying birth, no matter what kind of birth that is! I am a Certified Birth Doula through DONA International, and a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS). I have previous healthcare experience as a practical nurse (LPN) and am currently licensed in the State of Michigan. I look forward to meeting you! - Mary
