I am dedicated to walking with moms on their birth journey. This is something so special and unique to each individual and deserves to be supported. 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.

Hello! My name is Jillian (Jill is fine, too!) I am a Certified Birth Doula in the Metro Detroit area. Becoming a birth doula felt natural to me because I have always loved everything about birth and the strength that comes with bringing a baby into the world. Along with being a doula, I am also a Licensed Massage Therapist, which allows me to bring both physical comfort and emotional care into your birth experience. My goal is simple- to be there for you in the way you need the most. No matter what your birth plan looks like, I will walk alongside you without judgement- whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean, or if things shift along the way. You deserve to feel safe, heard, and cared for throughout your entire experience. I want every mother and family I work with to feel at ease being themselves and confident in their choices. Birth is beautiful, but it can also be intense, emotional, and deeply empowering- sometimes all at once! It is an honor for me to be present with you through such a meaningful moment in your life. When I'm not caring for families, I am spending time with my two boys. We love going on adventures together and making memories whenever we can. Motherhood has given me such a deep appreciation for the journey of pregnancy, birth, and raising children. My boys play a huge role in why I care so deeply about the families I am working with.

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.
