Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Battle Creek, MI

I believe support for each mama looks different. I am passionate about supporting moms who are first time moms, single moms and moms who are looking to birth unmedicated whether in hospital or out of hospital birth. I have had two home births and I hope to help empower other mama's and their voice in their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.

I am the founder and creator of Appointed Time Doula Services. I am a graduate of Dona International where I attained my Birth Doula Certification. It is paramount to me that my clients feel as welcome and as cared for as though they were members of my own family, in comparison to being a part of an uncaring system. The most rewarding aspect of my ministry is the opportunity to witness a new life come forth into this world. This priceless moment allows me to develop a unique relationship with each family.

Hi there! As a certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, I offer daytime and overnight support to help families transition into parenthood confidently. I have undergone extensive training, including CPR/first aid/AED, Infant Safe Sleep, Adequate Intake, Basics of Lactation, Infant Mental Health, and Infant Sleep Conditioning. I am currently studying to become an IBCLC which will further enhance my ability to support new parents on their chest/breastfeeding journey. I consider myself gentle, attentive, professional and supportive. I strive to provide the highest quality care by viewing every child (and family) as unique and adjusting my care accordingly, based on baby's needs and parent preferences.

Hey there, I am a young woman who has a heart for God, birth, and serving others. I started my birth work journey when I was seventeen years old, and have fallen in love with supporting other women in pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. I took my Doula training a year ago through Your Cherished Birth, and have been working on achieving my certification since then. Like everything else, I believe our bodies have been designed perfectly and without flaw, by God. Birth should not be an abnormal, impossible and scary thing, but rather a natural, beautiful and empowering experience. And this is more easily achieved with a Doula at your side reminding you to take care of yourself, advocating for you and your husband, and giving you ways to cope with the intensity of labor.

Hi, I’m Jamara — a proud mom of two and a passionate doula who believes every woman deserves to be supported, seen, and empowered during her journey into motherhood. Becoming a mother myself opened my eyes to the emotional, physical, and spiritual strength that birth requires — and the importance of having someone present solely for you. That experience grounded my purpose: to advocate, care, and stand beside women during one of the most sacred transitions of their lives. To me, this is more than a service — it’s heart-filled, purpose-driven work. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where mothers feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Whether it’s offering comfort, guidance, or simply being a steady presence, I am here to advocate for your voice and your birth experience. Your birth. Your story. Your strength. I’m honored to walk this journey with you

My name is Claire and I am starting my doula journey. I feel that I have been called to support women during pregnancy and postpartum. I'm outgoing, supportive of your choices as a mother, and a great listener. I am skilled at de-escalating situations in which you may feel panicked or afraid, and explain things in simple terms so that they aren't overwhelming. I will advocate for you in whatever situation you need, whether with a high-pressure medical provider or your nosy mother-in-law. I have worked with children 5 to 18 years old who have mental, physical, and emotional handicaps as well as a multitude of students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Working with these students has brought me so much joy and understanding of a world that can be very hard to explain to those with no experience in it. Whether it is you, your children, or loved ones who identify with the previous disorders, I would be beyond honored and ecstatic to help work through the crazy mystery and miracle of birth. I am currently going through the certification process to be a doula and need to attend three births to be fully certified. I am looking to help anyone I can in this process.

Most importantly, I will be there for overnights, responding to your baby’s needs while you get a full night of SLEEP!

Hi there! My name is Alexis and I’m your friendly, reading obsessed, coffee crazed, birth nerd doula. I trained with DONA International and will be certified with them this summer (2024). My degree is in human biology, so you can be sure that I love evidence based practices and that I find the human body astounding in its ability to birth. In my spare time, I love being with my family, reading, knitting, and baking. Doulas are for every birth, and I can’t wait to connect with you in this beautiful season of life!

Hi, my name is Chante Shine. I am a wife, mother and cancer survivor. It was after my own two wildly different but equally amazing birth experiences I realized that I had a passion for birth. For years afterward, I helped to guide my friends through their birth journeys but after my life changing struggles in 2022 I decided, life is short and there is not a minute to waste! So, in 2023 I decided to make it official and get my Birth Doula Certification. I also went ahead and added Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator Certifications to my agenda! I am currently working my way through these classes, and I could not be more excited and thrilled to start working with expecting parents such as yourselves!
