I am the founder and creator of Appointed Time Doula Services. I am a graduate of Dona International where I attained my Birth Doula Certification. It is paramount to me that my clients feel as welcome and as cared for as though they were members of my own family, in comparison to being a part of an uncaring system. The most rewarding aspect of my ministry is the opportunity to witness a new life come forth into this world. This priceless moment allows me to develop a unique relationship with each family.

Hey, I’m Lauren Byler, a birth and postpartum doula serving within a hour radius of Warsaw, Indiana, who’s passionate about helping families feel calm, supported, and confident through one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. I’ve always been drawn to the beauty and strength of birth, and I love being able to hold space for people as they find their own rhythm and trust in the process. My goal as a doula is to bring a steady, reassuring presence; to be someone families can lean on through the unknowns and the in-between moments. I believe every birth story is unique, and that support should feel personal and heartfelt. Being invited into this part of someone’s journey is such an honor, and it’s truly the kind of work that is so fulfilling.

I believe that supporting mothers through the thresholds of birth and postpartum is how we can heal and transform our culture into one that is sustainable, inclusive, and nurturing.

Hi, I’m Jamara — a proud mom of two and a passionate doula who believes every woman deserves to be supported, seen, and empowered during her journey into motherhood. Becoming a mother myself opened my eyes to the emotional, physical, and spiritual strength that birth requires — and the importance of having someone present solely for you. That experience grounded my purpose: to advocate, care, and stand beside women during one of the most sacred transitions of their lives. To me, this is more than a service — it’s heart-filled, purpose-driven work. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where mothers feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Whether it’s offering comfort, guidance, or simply being a steady presence, I am here to advocate for your voice and your birth experience. Your birth. Your story. Your strength.

Hello! I’m Eva, a Full-Spectrum Doula proudly serving the Michiana area (Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan). My passion for birth work began when I was a teenager and has only grown stronger over the years. Before becoming a doula, I spent many years supporting families as a full-time nanny, building deep connections with parents and children in my community. I later took my passion for birth work to Hannah’s House of Michiana, where I gained invaluable experience working closely with women in various stages of their reproductive journey. ​ In the Fall of 2022, I experienced one of the most transformative moments of my life when I welcomed my son into the world. His birth ignited a powerful, unshakable calling to support other families through their own birth and postpartum journeys. Since then, I’ve had the honor of stepping into my role as a doula in my local community. ​ I believe every person deserves to be supported through their unique birth experience with respect and compassion. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating your postpartum transition, or anything in between, I’m here to offer you non-judgmental, evidence-based support that centers you and your family. You are the expert of your body, your birth, and your choices, and my role is to help protect, advocate for, and support your vision for your journey.

For the past 10 years, I’ve had the honor of supporting growing families through Reverent Life Services. My experience spans home births, birth centers, and hospitals, giving me a broad understanding of the many ways birth can unfold. I believe birth deserves to be approached with reverence, preparation, compassion, and respect for each family’s individual values and choices. As a birthworker and bodyworker, I draw from multiple gentle modalities, including Zero Balancing and clinical acupressure, to help support comfort, relaxation, and connection throughout the childbearing experience. Reverent Life Services is rooted in the belief that birth is more than an event—it is a profound threshold in the life of a family. In addition to doula support, I offer intentional birth services and meaningful ways to honor and preserve the experience, including placenta encapsulation, bodywork, birth art, handcrafted jewelry, and breastmilk soap. Whether you are preparing for your first birth or welcoming another member into your family, my goal is to offer knowledgeable, compassionate support while creating space for you to feel informed, empowered, and deeply cared for throughout the journey.

Hi, I am a newly trained birth Doula serving the Michiana area from Kalamazoo to St. Joe to South Bend. I am currently still persuing my certification, but am very eager to jump in whole hearted to the birth world. I have two babies of my own, with two very different birth stories and I know firsthand there will always be a need and place for doula support during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period. I am naturally minded and love physiologic birth but also recognize that each woman is unique and a successful birth is by their own definition. In my free time you'll find me chasing my babies and consuming copious amounts of coffee. I look forward to chatting with you!
