I am a certified birth doula, VBAC certified doula, birth photographer, and mother of two. My own births, a gentle cesarean followed by a healing VBAC, deeply shaped the way I support families. I understand how important it is to feel heard, respected, informed, and emotionally safe throughout pregnancy and birth. I am also completing my Body Ready Method certification, which allows me to bring more individualized, body based preparation into my prenatal support. Two of the most important parts of my birth philosophy are true informed decision making and helping families have a positive, trauma free birth experience. I believe informed consent should be more than simply being told what is recommended. You deserve to understand your options, the benefits and risks, and the alternatives available so you can make decisions that feel right for you. Birth photography is also a deeply important part of who I am and how I serve families. Birth is filled with powerful moments that can be difficult to fully remember while you are living them. Photographs preserve the strength, emotion, connection, and small details of your story, allowing you to see your experience from a new perspective and hold onto it for generations. Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, VBAC, induction, epidural, or cesarean, my goal is for you to feel confident, respected, supported, and at peace with your birth story.

Working with her was one of the best decisions we made during this journey. As new parents, we didn’t always know what to expect, but her calm confidence and clear explanations made all the difference — she never rushed through anything and always made sure we truly understood what was happening. Her opinions and guidance gave us a sense of confidence we didn’t know we needed. We don’t have family nearby, and she became that support system for us. Warm, outgoing, and incredibly knowledgeable, she made us feel completely at ease from day one — like we were talking to someone we’d known for years, not someone we’d just met. She was respectful, informative, and present in every way that mattered, especially during the birth itself. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to any family looking for a doula who will truly be in it with them.

I am so pleased to have connected with so many women in my practice that have allowed me to share in their joy. Pregnancy, Labor and parenthood looks different for everyone and your wishes will be advocated for while keeping you informed of all your options. I am a birth and Postpartum Doula as well as a Lactation Counselor and child birth educator. This career also allows me to use my 20 years of experience as a photographer.

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! She was an absolute rock star during the birth of my baby, who arrived 6 weeks early. Through all the uncertainty and stress, Michelle was there every step of the way to keep the calm and peace, offering unwavering support and reassurance. She was a true rock for my family, ensuring I was taken care of and advocating for me throughout the process—especially during the scarier moments when doctors weren’t explaining things clearly. Michelle stepped in to make sure we understood everything. Her compassionate presence made a world of difference. On top of that, she captured beautiful, meaningful pictures when we first brought our baby home from the NICU. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and supportive doula.

T. 7 reviews 5 months ago Nyasia is incredibly down to earth and as caring as she is kind. She made my husband and I feel safe in the months leading up to labor and in the throws of birth. I'm incredibly grateful to have met her and plan to seek her out for my future pregnancies. She is a wealth of knowledge and you'd think unlimited resources (she has the best goodies). Her extensive background shows up in ways you wouldn't think you need until she comforts you with something from her tool kit. Outside of making me feel safe in birth she also made me feel empowered. She reassured my husband and I that come what may in the birthing room I can conquer it (and did). She whispered in my ear the probable course my labor would take and of course was right but because of her I was prepared. I watched her stand at my feet and whisper prayers for an emergency situation down the hall, care for my husband, and comfort me, all in a 7 minute span. She's extremely diligent with your privacy and will never impugn your or anyone's dignity. Out of the thousands of stories she could tell she only tells ones about herself and her personal experiences. Now after she'd supported us with, through and in labor as my doula I had the added blessing of her being my lactation consultant. She walked me through the first weeks of nursing, comforted me when my baby went on a nursing strike pulled all kinds of breastfeeding tools out of her infamous tote bag, suggested positions for both me and baby and is still educating and walking with us at almost 10 months post partum. Having her as our doula further encouraged me to start my path in being a birth worker and wouldn't you know, it was Nyasia that provided me the links to free doula training. We love her immensely.

I’m Anne Fleming, a doula serving women across Metro Detroit with dedicated support during both labor and the postpartum period. I’m passionate about walking alongside women and their families during this important season, offering physical and emotional care that helps them feel confident and supported. Whether I’m providing comfort measures during labor or nurturing mothers in the early weeks after birth, my goal is to create a calm, reassuring presence and offer encouragement every step of the way. It’s my joy to help women feel empowered and cared for as they welcome new life into their families.

I didn’t meet Annie until I was about 35 weeks pregnant, but from the very beginning, she made me feel completely supported and at ease. Even though we connected late in my pregnancy, she jumped right in with warmth, knowledge, and encouragement that made it feel like she'd been part of my journey all along. When I went into labor, Annie came exactly when I needed her. She met us at the hospital and was an absolute rock throughout the entire process. Her presence was calming, grounding, and so reassuring. She knew just what to say and do to help me stay focused and confident, and she worked beautifully alongside the hospital staff while always prioritizing my comfort and wishes. Having Annie by my side made such a difference. She helped create a birth experience that felt empowering and supported — I truly can’t imagine going through it without her. Thank you, Annie, for being there when I needed you most and for bringing so much care and strength into such an important moment in my life.

We so often are in search of magic, without realizing we have it right inside of ourselves. For me, becoming a mother has proven that to be true. Birthing Ancestors was created from the idea that when you have a child you are not only birthing a future generation, but you are also birthing yourself as a parent - someone’s ancestor. It is my greatest honor to holistically support you throughout every stage of your childbearing journey, and help you to discover the magic that has always been inside of you. Since becoming a certified Full Spectrum Doula in 2021, I have fallen deeply in love with this work. I have expanded my knowledge to support clients from fertility/preconception planning thru postpartum, with special interests in herbal and nutritional support. I also have 200hr yoga teacher certification giving me knowledge in anatomy, stretching and strengthening muscles, relaxation techniques, and preparing the body for labor.

Micalyn is an amazing doula and I highly recommend her services. I am forever grateful for her crucial role in making my unmedicated, hospital birth a positive and empowering experience. The prenatal meetings were very in-depth and included healthcare during pregnancy, rehearsal of labor positions, and the construction of a birth plan. Micalyn also provided me with handmade herbal tea and was readily available via phone or text at any time I needed support. Going into my birth, I felt prepared and confident. I was immensely thankful for Micalyn’s presence during my labor and birth. Whether it was conversation or physical touch, her peaceful and loving presence was so appreciated. She made the hospital space as beautiful as possible with Christmas lights near the bed and flameless candles around the bathtub. Micalyn collaborated fabulously with the hospital staff, and everyone was very impressed with her. When I was pushing, she was the one who suggested the position change that immediately resulted in my baby’s delivery. Micalyn was right there by my side when my son quickly entered the world: she called to the midwife to catch him and her shoes got drenched with the birthing fluids! Our postpartum visits were extremely helpful. When my son was a few days old, she came over and taught me how to do things such as put a diaper on and wear a baby wrap. She also brought me another handmade tea for sitz baths, which felt amazing. Micalyn is clearly made for this work and I can’t recommend her doula services highly enough!
