Hi I am Maria, and I came to doula work after working in childcare for 8 years. After spending time with parents who had relatively no postpartum care or support, I soon started my training to bridge that gap. I believe that the postpartum period is one of the most crucial stages of pregnancy. Many parents experience feelings of loneliness, confusion, and exhaustion and it is Maria’s top priority to help parents feel their best during your fourth trimester. Maria believes that every family who wants a doula should have one. Promoting a judgement free zone, she happily works with families and individuals of any age, race, & gender. Instilling confidence and nurturing a new family is what makes Maria excited to go to work every day. Maria has been trained as an EMT, birth and postpartum doula, IBCLC.

I have worked with Maria for almost a year now and it has been the best decision for my family. I am a first time mom and only got 6 weeks of maternity leave before going back to work full time. Maria provided overnight support and it helped tremendously. She took over care for my son so that I could get a full nights sleep. I woke up to a happy baby, clean house, and was able to start the day off right. I absolutely recommend Maria to everyone!

I am a DONA-certified birth doula practicing in the Ann Arbor, MI area. I believe that doula support is a right, not a privilege, so my fees are nominal and my services are above and beyond. In addition to the usual DONA certification training, I am also trained through Survivor Moms and I also volunteer with the Michigan Prison Doula Initiative, in addition to my private practice. I have no time cut-off, so if your labor is moving slowly, I will stay with you all the way. I have been told that my kindness, compassion and ability to listen and advocate has been a godsend to many of my clients.

I am a passionate birth doula who is dedicated to helping mothers feel heard and in control of their pregnancy and birth by finding trust, strength, and empowerment through listening to the intuition we all have as mothers. My personal experiences of having a C-section, a miscarriage, and a VBAC have all encouraged me to help educate and support other women throughout their own journeys. My goal is for mother and partner to feel supported through prenatal education and confident in trusting their combined intuition to make the best decisions for their family in this life changing moment.

It is something I have always admired about her! She will be your biggest advocate and make you feel like you can accomplish anything! You will be so incredibly blessed if you choose Brooklynn to be by your side guiding you through your pregnancy and delivery!

I am a birth and postpartum doula who loves working with new families as they grow and develop! When it comes to birth, I believe each person labors and births in their own unique way, and I want to discover what the birth process looks like for you. I believe the postpartum period is a time of rest, healing, and bonding for new parents, and I lovingly support that process in your home. When I'm not doula-ing, I enjoy reading, yoga, and spending time outside.

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 am a birth doula who is passionate about helping women enter motherhood educated and empowered. I am personally passionate about physiological birth and the transformative experience that can be. However, I am also a registered nurse and feel comfortable supporting mothers who are medically complex or who choose to fully embrace the medical model for birth. Bottom line, I'm here for you! I am a mom to 3 and feel the post partum period is an important foundation for motherhood. While I am not a certified post partum doula I do offer continued support to mothers who need or want it.
