Her approach is rooted in trust, education, and deep respect for the natural process of birth.

Built on the belief of “mothering the mother,” Fourth Trimester Services offers in-home support including postpartum doulas, lactation guidance, newborn care, rest support, nutrition, and holistic recovery services—ensuring mothers are seen, supported, and cared for as they heal and transition.

Her mission is simple but powerful: to make sure no mother feels alone, overlooked, or unsupported. Through both organizations, Jasmine is not just providing services—she is building a community where mothers are nurtured, respected, and truly cared for.

Hi! My name is Brandi. I'm so glad you are here! I began my journey into becoming a Doula after having a powerful birth (cliché, I know). It got me thinking, if I felt empowered then why shouldn't others feel that way?! Inspired, it led me to a career supporting others through their significant time. On my down time I stay busy being a wife and a mother to 6 active, awesome kids. You can almost always catch me on the field or in the gym. Some of my passions include God, coffee, plants, essential oils, baby-wearing, traveling, group exercise, crafting, crystals, nature, tattoos and herbal healing. But above all, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to learn and grow. I like to encourage and empower families through their life journeys! There is nothing like becoming a family! I absolutely LOVE birth and can't wait to be a part of yours. And beyond. ❤

My name is Lexx J! I am here to help your beautiful seed blossom! I am a certified perinatal, birth and postpartum doula. I also offer breastfeeding support along with many other services. I am passionate about birth work because each and every time a baby is born, so is a mother. My goal is to not only educated and support, but also help create and achieve ideal birthing plans and goals that will allow my client to be comfortable, happy and excited about the journey and overall experience!

I am a labor support specialist—“doula”—who is with you during childbirth to help you stay calm and comfortable as you move through your birthing process, give you information about your care and help you achieve your goals. My Background, Education and Philosophy I am Imani Abdul-Zahir. I was born and raised in the inner city of Cleveland Ohio. I am a doula with 27 years of experience and was trained by Birthing Beautiful Communities (a 501c3 non-profit). My philosophy about birth is that it is a normal bodily function governed by biological and psychological mechanisms, and is not a medical condition. Many communities of color have historically been built and maintained around the concept of “it takes a village”. Caring for mother and baby throughout pregnancy and during childbirth is essential for successful societies. Those with knowledge, experience and expertise have an obligation to educate, support and assist. My core values are commitment, compassion, & knowledge. I have a strong commitment to serving the needs of pregnant people in our community through compassion and evidence-based practices. My priorities as a doula are four, to ensure, educate, reassure & elevate. 1. to ensure that my clients receive the best hands-on care, comfort, and assistance during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and recovery. 2. to educate my clients regarding pregnancy, labor, delivery & recovery as well as what they may expect from hospitals and medical staff. Also to provide connections and access to other beneficial resources. 3. to reassure clients that their birth is their own and they have what they need, within themselves, and at their disposal to secure a healthy, safe and positive birth experience. 4. to help elevate clients above their fears, insecurities & expectations using positive encouragement and emotional support. My goals are to help reduce the maternal and infant mortality rate, to help people to have the safest, healthiest birth possible, and to restore a sense of well being to those who are childbearing through careful postpartum care. The first step in getting you the support you deserve is to schedule an intake meeting. During the intake meeting, I will answer any questions you might have, learn about your family needs and how I can best support you.

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!

I know firsthand how much this season of life matters, and I would be honored to be part of yours.

Hello and congratulations on your upcoming birth! Birth is a gift. Working a birth doula since 2009 has been a great joy in my life. I love walking the journey with couples - providing caring support, calm confidence, and years of experience to help make birth the best it can be. Other than supporting birth, my favorite days include time with my family (4 grown children and one grandson), being out in nature, prayer, and reading a good book.

Hi there! I’m Michelle! I’m a fellow home birth mama to four amazing children. I believe birth should be gentle, undisturbed and transformational for mothers and their families. Nurturing mothers during birth and postpartum is the foundation for how they are able to connect with their families and themselves. We are rewriting the patriarchal narrative, women need to serve women above all else. It’s important to know that as your doula, I strive for a friendship, not a business agreement. I’m so excited to meet you!
