Hi, my name is Alaila. I've been working as a doula for about 1 year now. I have 8 years of experience working in childcare as an early childhood education teacher. I have 3 children of my own, 1 boy and 2 girls. I became a doula because, I myself have preterm labor so I know the struggle to be heard during such an emotionally and physically difficult time as labor. I wanted to become a voice for anyone who is experiencing this struggle, to lift up their voice in the birthing room. I am currently enrolled and taking classes at Henry Ford to become a Medical Assistant. I plan to specialize as a Radiographer so that I can be even more helpful to the mothers I serve in the community and clinic settings.

Hi, I’m so thankful you’re here. My name is Kara, and I’m a prenatal, birth, and postpartum doula who views this work as a sacred calling—an opportunity to walk alongside families as they enter one of life’s most sacred seasons. I believe that birth is a beautiful, God-designed experience, and it’s my heart’s desire to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and deeply seen. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I will walk with you in love, prayer, and steady encouragement, gently reminding you that you are never alone. I strive to create a peaceful, prayerful space where you feel supported, confident, and reminded that God is present in every contraction, every breath, and every moment of your journey. My philosophy is rooted in trust: trust in your body, trust in the process, and most importantly, trust in the Lord who has authored your story and knit your baby together with intention and care. Whether you desire prayer, quiet presence, or a reassuring voice during labor, as your doula, my role is not just physical or emotional—I am here to pray with you, speak life over you, and remind you of the promises God has spoken over your motherhood. It would be an honor to walk this path with you.

With an innate passion for babies and their families, Danielle has an insightful and peaceful presence as a postpartum doula. Her compassion and understanding grew for the postpartum period after having her own set of Irish twins. Two little boys, resulting from back to back pregnancies a little over 7 years ago, gave her the wonderful experience of parenting that she wanted to share. Many of her friends called on her for advice and emotional support through their own pregnancies and postpartum times. ​ Knowing this life-changing time in a person's life should not be spent alone, and believing she could help, Danielle followed her goals and became officially certified in 2023. Completing ProDoula’s program has given her the confidence and ability to help all those in the postpartum stage of life. Although her degree in elementary education isn’t front and center anymore, all the years in child development and classroom management have given her even more tools to become a successful doula. ​ Danielle has been a doula to many clients, friends and family members. She realizes her unbiased strengths in this field are worthy of a true career and cannot wait to meet and guide new families through this time.

I’m Sam! I am an internationally board certified lactation consultant as well as a trained postpartum and birth doula. I always knew I wanted to work with babies and families and started off as a professional nanny. Then when I had my first and started breastfeeding I fell in love with it and was such an advocate for everyone to breastfeed. It wasn’t until my 2nd daughter that I even knew lactation consultants were a thing. I got referred to one and when I met her she changed the game. So I went to Henry Ford College to get my certification and graduated from the lactation program in 2022. I understand firsthand the challenges and joys that come with feeding your baby, and I’m here to provide compassionate, personalized care to help you feel confident every step of the way. Every feeding journey is different just like every baby and parent is.

From a young age, I have always found joy in caring for younger children and babies. As a teenager, my fascination with how women’s bodies worked deepened, leading me to educate myself about their complexities. Friends and family often turned to me for support and guidance regarding reproductive health, and I discovered a profound joy in listening, educating, and comforting those around me. My personal journey through pregnancies, losses, and the births of my own children solidified my desire to support women during these transformative times. I strive to cultivate positive and empowering experiences for all families. With over 16 years of experience in administration, early childhood education, and pediatric healthcare, caring for others is truly my specialty. I took a leap of faith to become a ProDoula-certified Labor, Birth, Postpartum, and Infant Care Doula because this is not just a job for me—it's my calling. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid certified, as well as HIPAA and OSHA compliant. In my free time, I cherish moments with my husband and our two children, creating lifelong memories together. I also enjoy traveling, serving at church, hosting gatherings with friends, and discovering new restaurants. I am excited to offer a safe, non-judgmental space filled with support and positivity, regardless of your life, birth, or parenting choices.

I’m Mikah! I’m a full-spectrum doula and I have been a doula for about 2 years. I just started school to be a home-birth midwife. I love serving others especially women and babies. I am big on naturalistic and holistic care. I am a believer and I love to pray with my clients if that’s something they would desire.

Recent review

My children love Mikah ! She’s absolutely great and we were so grateful /excited to have her apart of our support system . We did find her a little late in our pregnancy going into my 3rd trimester but she responded immediately and we didn’t waste time after that . She’s quite the help (: , she provided us with one of her lactation consultant friend Sandra , who gave us tips on how to breastfeed more effectively and they were both very knowledgeable about the proper nutrition needed to keep up my milk supply. Her gentle and calming nature helped ease our anxieties and we felt extremely comfortable leaving our son Joshua in her care while we were able to get a few hours rest. Mikah is just overall amazing and a great person to open up to as well and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs/wants a doula . She also meal prepared for us - which btw was DELICIOUS!!! And provided the best freshly pressed juice I’ve ever had which also helped me shed some postpartum weight off .
