Alexis Whitmore

Hello Everyone, I am Alexis Whitmore, a newly certified birth doula. My approach is rooted in holistic wellness, viewing childbirth as a profound and natural journey for the mind, body, and spirit. I am dedicated to empowering birthing individuals and their partners with the physical, emotional, and informational support they need to feel confident and respected throughout their pregnancy, labor, and delivery. By honoring each family's unique values and preferences, I aim to help create a positive and transformative birth experience, no matter where or how it unfolds. I believe in the body's innate wisdom to give birth and offer compassionate, non-judgmental guidance to help you find your strength and voice every step of the way.

Hello! My name is Hailey. I am an Innate Traditions certified postpartum doula. I found my calling in this field after my own early postpartum experience. Lacking not only in the village but in hands on, at home, holistic care. It's important to me that all mothers, new and seasoned, experience the kind of love and attention I have been taught to provide. When I am not serving postpartum women, I am spending time with my son, our friends and family, trying fun new nourishing recipes, or at work. I work for a chiropractor in Concord Township which has been a great resource for the women I serve. Email me and we can plan your dream postpartum season together!

Hi, I'm Victoria, also known as VicTheDoula, and I am the proud owner of The Crowned Nest Doula Company. As a dedicated doula, my mission is to support birthing individuals through their unique pregnancy journeys. Primarily, I offer remote doula services via text, calls, and Zoom meetings, ensuring that you have the guidance and support you need from the comfort of your own home. While I may occasionally offer in-person support on a case-by-case basis, my focus is on providing accessible care tailored to your needs. Though I do not have biological children, I am a loving mom of one and a foster/adoptive parent. My passion for becoming a doula stems from my experiences as a queer woman of color, where I have witnessed firsthand how the medical field can sometimes disadvantage women of color. With rising statistics highlighting these disparities, I felt compelled to advocate for those who may feel voiceless. I proudly support all couples and single parents, and my identity within the LGBTQIA+ community brings a unique perspective to my services. If you're seeking a remote doula who can be a steadfast rock during your time of need, provide valuable resources, and assist you and your partner in your journey to parenthood, I am here for you. Let's embark on this beautiful journey together!

Victoria was my doula for my pregnancy. As my sister I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else besides her to be there with me. Remotely and in person she was an amazing resource. When having complications while laboring doctors were ignoring my concerns. Vic quickly stepped in and had doctors realize something was wrong. Due to her diligence we realized my baby had already passed his meconium and an extra team needed to be present at his birth. I ended up having a c section of 25 hrs of laboring but Vic was right there cheering me on. Her being there for the birth of her nephew was pure magical. Best doula ever.

Jess was our night doula for our third baby. We didn’t have a night doula for our first two babies so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Jess is kind, knowledgeable, loving, and so supportive. She helped me navigate my feeding journey and our daughter’s milk/soy allergy. She communicates with you the nights she’s coming to check in on how you and your baby are doing and provides help and guidance if you need on feeding, sleep, etc. I had postpartum depression with my first two kids and didn’t with my third, and I owe that all to Jess. I was able to sleep more and feel emotionally supported. She also loved our daughter and was very nurturing. I highly recommend her!

I am a career nanny of 11 years, ages ranging from 3 days old to 9 years old. I am becoming dual certified as a Newborn Care Specialist and a Post Partum Doula. I have an associates in Deaf Interpreter studies and have several years experience with special needs children (pre school) as well as nanny experience with special needs and language development. Not much scares me and I have the negotiation skills of a pro. I am passionate about seeing milestones ( no matter what age) being reached. I am extremely reliable and take positive communication very seriously. I appreciate learning about different cultures and religions and will respect these beliefs, while doing my best to help your child follow your beliefs. Helping your child grow to be respectful and kind is something that I will strive for. I am not a fan of screen time, I prefer to keep your child busy with other activities. I enjoy traveling and seeing and experiencing different ways of life. I love going to venues that have live music and being outside. You will see my name as Kathleen, but most everyone calls me Katie, unless you're my mother when she was mad at me and then it's Kathleen. I look froward to hearing from parents that are interested in having someone that at all times is keeping an eye on their Child and considers their safety my number 1 priority.

My name is Susan Facemire, PT, DPT,CPPC. I am women's health physical therapist and have a passion for treating women during their childbearing years, especially in those special times of pregnancy and postpartum. I pride myself in providing men and women with comprehensive care surrounding pelvic floor dysfunction. While I love treating in the clinic, I have recognized in this day, sometimes it isn’t quite as easy to get out to clinic based therapy. Especially with new babies and/or multiple children, finding dependable child care is hard. From this, stemmed my home based care services. My goal and promise is to provide women with the same high level of care within the comfort and safety of their own home.
