Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Grand Rapids, MI

Meet Mary Broene | Postpartum & Infant Care Doula Mary Broene is a certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula through ProDoula who is passionate about helping families feel supported, confident, and cared for during the transition into life with a newborn. With experience as a Lactation Peer Counselor and a mother of four, Mary brings a unique combination of professional knowledge, hands-on experience, and genuine compassion to every family she serves. Her passion for postpartum care was shaped by her own motherhood journey, including the experience of welcoming a premature baby and navigating time in the NICU. These experiences gave Mary a deep appreciation for the emotional and physical challenges that can accompany the postpartum season and strengthened her desire to provide families with the reassurance and individualized care they deserve. Mary believes postpartum support should extend beyond caring for the baby. Her approach centers on nurturing the entire family by helping parents rest, recover, build confidence, and feel more comfortable in their new roles. From newborn care and feeding guidance to overnight support, she strives to create a peaceful, supportive environment where parents can focus on healing, bonding, and enjoying those precious early moments with their baby. With her background in lactation support, Mary is especially passionate about helping families navigate feeding with confidence and without judgment. She understands that every family and feeding journey is different and takes the time to offer encouragement, education, and support tailored to each family’s needs. Outside of her work as a doula, Mary enjoys life with her husband and four children in Allendale, Michigan. She loves spending summer days by the family pool, making memories at Disney, coaching soccer, and cheering her children on in their activities. Family time is at the heart of who she is, and she brings that same genuine care and dedication to the families she supports. Mary feels honored to walk alongside new parents during such a transformative season of life. Her goal is to help families feel less overwhelmed, more rested, and confident in their ability to care for their newest little one—providing the hands-on assistance, encouragement, and compassionate support they need every step of the way.

Hello! Im Ashley! I am a momma of 2 little princesses, an army wife, and I love Jesus! My goal is to serve and empower women through pregnancy and childbirth! During these very important moments in your life, I strive to create the most positive experience for you, your partner, and your baby!

Hi! My name is Alexa, I am a Holland native, I am a childbirth educator, and I can't wait to help you along this journey! I became passionate about birth work at about 10 year ago. So far on my journey I have tried my hand as a midwives assistant and as a doula, and have currently found a passion for Childbirth education! Coming from a liberal arts background, earning my History degree from Hope college in 2023, I have a strong foundation in research and critical thinking. This background is what I base all of my Childbirth classes in. More than just an avalanche of information, my classes teach you how to do your own research and think about what is best for you and your family. I have attended trainings in doula support, waterbirth, childbirth education, and am currently in school for nursing as well. Along with all of that, I am constantly learning new information to pass along to you. ​ Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions on any of my offerings!

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.

Hi there! My name is Lauren and I am a birth doula located in Grand Haven, MI. I’m here to support you through your individual birth journey.

I'm a newly practicing doula from west michigan!

I am Stephanie, a full spectrum Doula located in Muskegon, MI - I provide support in person & also virtually. As a full spectrum Doula I service Birth, Postpartum & also loss clients. I am a Spiritual Doula who also offers Reiki Healing, Herbal Teas, Yoni Steams & Bath Salts.

I grew up in west Michigan, cradled by the crescent moon grin of the Great Lakes. My desire to become a doula first took root in experiences I had volunteering with local organizations and non-profits when I was in high school. My passion for community-based care began in the basement of a neighborhood church, where I first volunteered with a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families find and keep secure housing for their children. From these initial experiences, I got to witness first-hand how important it is for families to be well-informed and unconditionally supported in order to thrive together. The roots of my work as a doula and student midwife are the same as they were back then, before I even began birth work : when families are given non-judgemental support and evidence-based education during their transition into parenthood, they can have the most satisfying, empowering experience possible. As a doula, I emphasize a client-centered approach where you are seen as the expert in your own care; together, using support and education, we will create a birth / postpartum plan that supports the health and well-being of you, your baby, and your support team.

I am a holistic birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator.

Hi! I’m Elizabeth! After years of supporting women at a pregnancy resource center, I saw how many mothers felt unseen, unheard, and overwhelmed during pregnancy and birth. Too often, women are left searching for answers, carrying fear, or feeling pressured into experiences they never wanted. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s what led me to become a birth and postpartum doula — to walk alongside women with grace, encouragement, and unwavering support through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I believe women were beautifully created for birth and deserve to feel empowered, informed, and deeply cared for every step of the way. With a calm, compassionate presence rooted in my Christian faith, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and confident as you prepare to welcome your baby and begin the journey of motherhood. Proudly serving families in these Michigan counties: Mecosta, Montcalm, Kent, Newaygo, Osceola, and Isabella.

Hello! I am a student postpartum doula near South Haven, with a special interest in maternal mental health.

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. I’m honored to walk this journey with you

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.
