Hello families, My name is Amber and I am excited to connect with you. I have over 30 years experience as a doula and support all types of families. I specialize in multiples (twins/triplets), first time parents, cesarean deliveries, adoptions, and families with history of birth trauma, infertility and preemies/NICU support. I offer holistic and individual attention full circle (fertility, early pregnancy support, pregnancy support, birth and postpartum). Well known in the birthing community with excellent referrals, most of my clients find me through friends, family, and provider recommendations. My birthing support schedule fills quickly but I am available to connect virtually for pregnancy and postpartum support with a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I am looking forward to connecting and learning more about how I can support you in your journey. Warmly, Amber

Hello! Supporting families through the birth year as a birth and postpartum doula brings me immense joy. As a dear friend of mine said, "Helping people move through huge life transitions is where it's at." I bring non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care to you and your family, however "family" looks for you. My training includes DONA-approved workshops for birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, newborn care, pregnancy loss, abortion support, and prenatal/postpartum yoga. When not involved in birth work, I love to bake, play with my puppy, and read mysteries.

We are so grateful for Zoe’s loving support this past year as our doula. Zoe worked with us as a postpartum doula after our son Emmett was born. Her support was intuitive and natural, easily fitting in to our lives and jumping in to support in all the right ways. She was incredibly helpful both in practical ways helping us get back on track with our daily routine, but also was a wealth of information about breastfeeding, newborn phases and milestones, and labor recovery. Zoe shared helpful resources related to where we were at in the postpartum and newborn journey. She also made space to help us process and talk about things like our birth story, postpartum anxiety, and really anything else on our minds… which was a lot. We appreciate the calm and loving connection and support for our whole family.

Peace, my name is Kiya Ellis and I am a Medicaid birth doula located in Detroit Michigan. I am very passionate about child birth and a firm believer that it does not have to be extremely painful or traumatic ; physically and mentally. I wish for all birthing people to have access to resources as such and to be asserted in their strength and livelihood.

Kiya was an incredible support throughout my entire journey. She helped me create a personalized birth plan and guided me through both in-person and online birth classes, preparing me for every step. She consistently provided helpful activities that made me feel confident and ready for labor. When the time came, Kiya was by my side from the very beginning until the next morning, offering encouraging words that kept my spirits high. Thanks to her dedication, I felt empowered and well-prepared. I am truly grateful to have had her support.

Me & my family are very glad that Kristina stepped in to help us during pregnancy & birth. With my 4th baby coming, I had never experienced a Doula before. She was nothing short of amazing. Prenatal & Postnatal. Every little bit of help counts and she took into consideration our well wishes and was a great advocate during the birthing process. We couldn’t be more thankful for her presence.

Hello! I am a newly trained doula, seeking my first clients to become officially state and DONA certified. I am getting into this work because I want to be able to help people feel empowered, both by providing information and emotional support. I really believe that maximizing informed consent and autonomy can make an enormous difference in our overall experiences, even if things are not able to go to plan 100% of the time. I truly believe that knowing someone is by your side, trusting and supporting you in whatever you feel is best for yourself, can be a make or break difference in almost all aspects of life. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are such a special and transformative time in a persons life and I want for people to be able to look back on their experience positively. I also place a high importance on personal and community health. I will wear a mask any time we are together, including home visits and the duration of the birth. If you or a loved one are immunocompromised and have extra requests for health precautions I am happy to accommodate. I am also very open to hearing any other disability accommodations that may be necessary.
