I became a Mother in the Summer of 2014. If I'm being honest, I didn't put much thought into my first birth. I thought I'd just go into the hospital pregnant and come out with a baby. It wasn't until I was in labor and facing an emergency cesarean that I realized that my partner and I were unprepared and unsupported. It was after that first birth that I learned what a Doula was and the trajectory of my entire life shifted. I trained as a Birth Doula in 2016 and since that time I have attended over 160 births in hospitals, birth centers and in homes. In 2021 I have also been a local homebirth assistant since 2021 with my Neonatal Resuscitation Program Certification. Over the years my views and beliefs surrounding birth have grown and evolved. I have studied not only the mechanics of the birth process, but the physiological, emotional and spiritual rite of passage that birth truly is. I believe that a beautiful birth experience can happen in any setting, but that it takes a combination of preparation, advocacy and a setting that supports your vision.

Bronson, Michigan
Hi, my name is Chante Shine. I am a wife, mother and cancer survivor. It was after my own two wildly different but equally amazing birth experiences I realized that I had a passion for birth. For years afterward, I helped to guide my friends through their birth journeys but after my life changing struggles in 2022 I decided, life is short and there is not a minute to waste! So, in 2023 I decided to make it official and get my Birth Doula Certification. I also went ahead and added Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator Certifications to my agenda! I am currently working my way through these classes, and I could not be more excited and thrilled to start working with expecting parents such as yourselves!

Sarah Long is a doula trained through Dona international. She completed her training in 2020 and has been passionate about birth since her first pregnancy nearly 10 years ago. First with her own birth experiences, then with providing support in the birth of her nephew, Sarah was drawn to the birth world. She felt the urge to learn all that she could to help pregnant people feel empowered to gain knowledge and make decisions that are in their best interest. In 2011 she and her husband found out they were expecting twins during their first pregnancy. They were scared, excited, overwhelmed, and nervous. Because twin pregnancies are considered "high risk," and both babies were in the breech position, she had a scheduled caesarian at 37 weeks. Although she didn't get the birth that she had envisioned, her postpartum journey with twins was very positive. Thanks to lots of help from family members and friends, Sarah was not alone with her baby girls until they were three months old. She felt like having so much support and help is the only way she survived. Once the girls were a little bit older, they felt ready to grow their family again. Pregnancy number two was a singleton. This time around Sarah knew she wanted a different birth. She attempted a v-bac (vaginal birth after caesarian). She had a very long and challenging labor that ended in another caesarian. Outside of helping pregnant families, Sarah loves to spend as much time outside as possible. She loves playing games, camping, and going to the lake. She believes that our bodies are designed perfectly and they know exactly what to do to birth a baby. She wants nothing but the best and most memorable birth experience for you and she would love to meet with you to see if she is a good fit for you and your family. Text Sarah anytime!

My name is Claire and I am starting my doula journey. I feel that I have been called to support women during pregnancy and postpartum. I'm outgoing, supportive of your choices as a mother, and a great listener. I am skilled at de-escalating situations in which you may feel panicked or afraid, and explain things in simple terms so that they aren't overwhelming. I will advocate for you in whatever situation you need, whether with a high-pressure medical provider or your nosy mother-in-law. I have worked with children 5 to 18 years old who have mental, physical, and emotional handicaps as well as a multitude of students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Working with these students has brought me so much joy and understanding of a world that can be very hard to explain to those with no experience in it. Whether it is you, your children, or loved ones who identify with the previous disorders, I would be beyond honored and ecstatic to help work through the crazy mystery and miracle of birth. I am currently going through the certification process to be a doula and need to attend three births to be fully certified. I am looking to help anyone I can in this process.

BIRTH AND POSTPARTUM DOULA, PLACENTA SPECIALIST SERVING A ONE HOUR RADIUS FROM MENTONE, IN Hello! Like many, I found my passion after the birth of my first daughter in 2015.

Since then, we have welcomed our second daughter in 2019 at our local birth center and most recently our son in 2023 in our home. Being able to provide support and knowledge to families in this season is what fuels my passion. I am committed to continuing my education to serve families and offer more services to the community. I am looking forward to connecting with more families on their journey.

Hey badass birthing warrior! I'm a mom of two tiny humans, a certified Birth Doula, Birth Photographer and Childbirth Educator serving expectant families throughout Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana. I got my start in birth work by being a wedding and family photographer first. Then on Pinterest, I found birth photography photos and I thought it was beautiful. So I got into birth photography and was hooked. Then after I had my first kid, I took a birth doula training and realized that this was my calling. Not everyone has an empowering birth story and I want to help change the cultural attitude around birth by making them excited, (It's okay to be a little nervous!), confident and prepared for birth. Birth is a transformational experience for both the birthing person and their partner.

Huntertown, Indiana
I became passionate about supporting growing families after the water-birth of my now eleven year old daughter. My husband and I chose to receive maternity care from a midwife and peacefully brought our baby into the world in a tiny apartment in Huntington Beach, CA. My pregnancy and birth experience was made beautiful through research and informed choices, a safe birthing location, and a strong support team. Almost five years later I birthed my second daughter into the world right at home again. I also experienced an unmedicated birth in a hospital setting late 2019 when my son was born. After attending births in 2012, I began my maternity related education and received my birth doula certification through Childbirth International. CBI is a thorough program accredited with distinction as a provider of continuing nurse education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). I hold a Childbirth Education Certification as well as a certification in Safety and Infection Prevention and Control. I also hold an up to date CPR certification. I attend births in home and birthing center locations in the Fort Wayne area. I have supported mothers and their partners through unmedicated and medicated births alike. Alongside birth work, I am the founder and director of Community Doula Collective, Northeast Indiana's only all certified birth and postpartum doula organization that values education and compassionate care. When I'm not supporting growing families in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area I love spending time with my three children, researching all things health and wellness, homeschooling, making music with my musician husband, and creating a simple and cozy home for our family. My hope is that your pregnancy, future birth, and family transition will be made up of the best of memories and I would love to support you on your unique journey!
