Greetings! My name is Raquelle Harris-Stinson and I am a birth doula located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. My goal is to provide a judgement free, peaceful and loving environment tailored to fit each family's needs/wants.

Peace! My name is Shekita. I am a CAAPA-trained, Community-Based Birth Doula registered with the State of Michigan’s Doula Initiative. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing that birth is both a transformative rite of passage and, at times, a deeply complex or even traumatic experience—even when everything goes according to plan. I see birth as crossing a threshold between worlds to welcome new life. My role is to walk alongside you as a steady, compassionate guide—moving at your pace, holding space for your emotions, and offering support for both the physical and emotional layers of your journey. In addition to labor and birth support, I specialize in: • Advocacy in hospital settings to help you feel seen, heard, and respected. • Breastfeeding and chestfeeding support to set you and your baby up for a nourishing start. • Community-based resources and postpartum care to help your family feel held beyond the birth itself. Beyond birthwork, I’m a proud plant-based mama of three. I love cooking, exploring the beauty of Detroit and the outdoors, and treasure-hunting while thrifting.

With an innate passion for babies and their families, Danielle has an insightful and peaceful presence as a postpartum doula. Her compassion and understanding grew for the postpartum period after having her own set of Irish twins. Two little boys, resulting from back to back pregnancies a little over 7 years ago, gave her the wonderful experience of parenting that she wanted to share. Many of her friends called on her for advice and emotional support through their own pregnancies and postpartum times. ​ Knowing this life-changing time in a person's life should not be spent alone, and believing she could help, Danielle followed her goals and became officially certified in 2023. Completing ProDoula’s program has given her the confidence and ability to help all those in the postpartum stage of life. Although her degree in elementary education isn’t front and center anymore, all the years in child development and classroom management have given her even more tools to become a successful doula. ​ Danielle has been a doula to many clients, friends and family members. She realizes her unbiased strengths in this field are worthy of a true career and cannot wait to meet and guide new families through this time.

I am a holistic full spectrum doula, death doula, childbirth educator, and nanny. I care for folks during all life and reproductive experiences. I keep autonomy, evidence-based practices, and body-mind connection at the forefront of all of my services.

I am a full service doula that can be contacted for prenatal, birth postpartum support or any combination of the 3. I aim to make every family feel confident and empowered by their choices through this transition. Knowing they are well informed and have access to all the resources they could want. I ask that my clients be honest about their wants/needs, and dedicate some prenatal hours to discussing this so we can be most effective with our time together. My goal is to help make this special time in your life comfortable, calm, and joyous.

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.
