The dream is to empower YOU to advocate for YOURSELF. No one knows your body like you do. No one knows your baby like you do. I do the work, the research so that you go into birth fully prepared to make the birth you crave, happen! I also so fully believe that everyone, and I mean everyone… deserves this.

Hello! I'm Logan! My journey to becoming a doula was deeply influenced by my own personal experiences with childbirth. I've experienced a range of birth scenarios, including two cesarean sections, and three VBAC births. After my initial two C-sections, I felt a strong desire for a better birth experience. This led me to immerse myself in research about birth and VBAC options. With the knowledge I gained, I felt empowered to pursue a VBAC and was successful in achieving three vaginal births. I am passionate about educating and empowering other women to understand their options and feel supported in making the best choices for their own birth journey. I'm here to support you, as together we research, learn, and prepare for the birth you envision. I'm proud to be a certified doula through the West Michigan Midwifery Institute, and I'm committed to providing compassionate and informed support to every woman I serve.

After doing a home birth with my first baby, I decided I needed to become a doula! I've been certified as an elite labor doula and placenta specialist through ProDoula, and I work with a great team of other doulas as well as solo. I would love to connect with you and support you through your ideal birth experience.

As an experienced childcare provider, emergency department patient care assistant, former flight attendant, and current nursing student, I bring a unique combination of caregiving, healthcare, safety, and family-support experience to my work with new families. My background has taught me the importance of staying calm under pressure, anticipating needs, communicating clearly, and creating a safe and reassuring environment for those in my care. My goal is to support parents, especially new and postpartum mothers, during one of the most beautiful and demanding transitions of life. I believe families deserve a calm, dependable presence in their home and infants deserve patient, attentive care that allows them to feel safe and nurtured. Whether providing overnight newborn care, helping a recovering mother get some much-needed rest, or simply offering an extra set of capable hands, I strive to create a supportive environment where the entire family can rest, adjust, and grow together with confidence.
