Amanda is such a huge blessing! She is very knowledgable and a comforting, supportive presence during such a vulnerable time. My husband and I were not originally going to hire a doula, but at the last minute (8 months pregnant) we decided we would want the extra support for our home birth as we are both first-time parents. We found Amanda through Facebook recommendations, and she was able to meet with us quickly, answer all of our questions (even bring up points we hadn't thought of yet), and provide us with the resources and knowledge to have a successful home birth. She does offer some prenatal education classes and while we were not able to attend the first session due to how late we found each other, the second session was so worth it - especially the exercises for pain management! The day of labor she was quick to respond to us and even coordinated with our midwife so that I could focus on my labor and my husband could focus on me. She provided excellent guidance and support to my husband so that he was the one comforting and helping me during labor and she was able to step in when needed. She even took care of our dog! We truly could not have asked for a better experience or a better doula than Amanda, and we have both said that we would absolutely work with her again if we are still in the area!

Hi there! As a certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, I offer daytime and overnight support to help families transition into parenthood confidently. I have undergone extensive training, including CPR/first aid/AED, Infant Safe Sleep, Adequate Intake, Basics of Lactation, Infant Mental Health, and Infant Sleep Conditioning. I am currently studying to become an IBCLC which will further enhance my ability to support new parents on their chest/breastfeeding journey. I consider myself gentle, attentive, professional and supportive. I strive to provide the highest quality care by viewing every child (and family) as unique and adjusting my care accordingly, based on baby's needs and parent preferences.

To Whom It May Concern, We wholeheartedly recommend Megan McLaughlin as a Newborn Care Specialist. Megan was with us for 12 hours a night, for 12 weeks, starting the night we came home from the hospital with our newborn. As the saying goes, it takes a village, and we are grateful that Megan was part of ours. As first-time parents, we were especially grateful for Megan's knowledge and experience. From swaddling techniques to bottle expiration, we learned from her gentle guidance. Megan's expertise was invaluable in helping us establish a routine and gain confidence in our new roles. Megan's duties included cleaning and sanitizing bottles, pacifiers, and pump parts, preparing and feeding bottles, handling baby's laundry, changing diapers, and organizing the nursery. She performed these responsibilities with the love and care we would hope for from a family member. Her meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that everything was in perfect order, allowing us to focus on bonding with our baby. Beyond her technical skills, Megan's warmth and compassion made a significant impact on our family. We truly looked forward to seeing her every day. Her calm and reassuring presence provided us with much-needed support during a time of transition and adjustment. She not only took excellent care of our daughter but also helped us navigate the challenges of new parenthood with ease and confidence. Megan's dedication and professionalism were evident in every aspect of her work. She was always punctual, reliable, and respectful of our home and routines. Her ability to anticipate our needs and offer solutions before we even realized we needed them was a testament to her experience and commitment to excellence. In summary, Megan McLaughlin played a crucial role in our early days of parenthood. Her professional skills, combined with her compassionate approach, made a significant difference in our lives. We are deeply grateful for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough to any family in need of a Newborn Care Specialist. She is an exceptional individual who will undoubtedly bring the same level of care and dedication to any family she works with.

As a doula, I can: - encourage you to find and utilize your voice to advocate for yourself and your child -provide you with evidence-based information about pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period and walk you through creating a birth plan; I even create a formal PDF copy for you or I to take to the hospital after our thorough discussions! :) - provide physical and emotional support throughout our time together through appointments, phone, and text check ins -locate and connect you to local resources to help bridge needs, find compassionate and patient-centered care, and keep you up to date on local family events and programs -give tips on comfort during pregnancy, birth ball demonstrations, breastfeeding education and postpartum lactation (including pumping and flange fitting) text, phone, and in person support and assistance -play the role of a pregnancy companion; text me how your provider appointments went! I want to know! :) Yes, I want to know the gender, and YES I want to know when you’re feeling down and lonely! Feel comfortable telling me about the stress of returning to work or the stress of affording food this week. Let me be the person who says, “Okay, so how can I help?!” -and soooo much more! With personalized services geared towards education, perinatal medical advocacy, and physical and emotional preparation, and the goal of preparation for childbirth and caring for both your new baby and postpartum body. Although our birth plan may not go EXACTLY as planned, I do believe every birthing person should feel heard, respected, and in control of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. With that, I will always go the extra mile if that mile is within my reach, to ensure that happens for each of my client families. My birth experiences may not have gone exactly the way I imagined it would.. But the end result always came out even better than I could have dreamed! I am the lucky parent of 2 beautiful children who, as CLICHE as it is, are the absolute light of my life! I have a 3 year old son who melts hearts for a living (Ha! He knows he’s a little ham), and a very intelligent 11 year old daughter who loves art, kittens, and peace and quiet away from her brother (we are your typical American family you can say lol..). I have a wonderful significant other named Brandon who has helped me to be able to support my client families and community. Every time I take off for a birth, he says “Take your time with them, babe! Your clients need and deserve it!” Brandon also supported the growth of our family when we decided to introduce two cats to our household earlier this year! Felix is a super friendly kitty who gives strange, but satisfying human-like hugs and Doula (yes, I did think this was hilarious at the time lol) is a total sweetie who is always ready for love! Shortly after we adopted our final family member, Clyde, a super relaxed bearded dragon who quickly learned that if he acted EXTRA cute I would probably offer him an extra bug instead of making him eat ALL of his fruit and veggie salad. As IRONIC as it is, in the experiences of creating and bringing up my family, life has shaped me into a person with a passion in serving other people who are bringing up their own growing families. As someone with the experience of a teenage mother, I am transparent of the fact that pregnancy, birth, and parenting can be a scary road to navigate if you are doing it without support, guidance, or knowledge of “how all this works.” I have a passion for what I do because I believe every current and expecting mother deserves to have someone they can turn to without judgement and biases in a time that can be an excruciatingly vulnerable time for a lot of us.

Hi! My name is Alyssa I am a birth doula and living in southeast Michigan. I have always loved babies, caring for my friends, and giving my all and helping whenever they are pregnant, postpartum, or simply raising their families. I have always enjoyed being able to offer acts of service and support to others, and becoming a doula has helped me embrace this love language in so many new ways I never knew possible. With becoming a doula, my goal is to help support new families and moms by emotionally and physically supporting them through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Advocating for them with knowledge, and helping them make thought out decisions when needed in labor. I want to help every mom take back their birth and make it an experience they love to talk about and remember. As said in Isaiah chapter 66, verse 13, “As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.” My goal as a doula is to hold the mother through every stage and be there for her and her family.

Alyssa was so supportive during my pregnancy and is still holding me up through post-partum and the newborn trenches. I was so thankful for her continued support during my labor when midwife and nurse shifts would change, she was a constant. I don’t think that my labor experience would have been as positive or would have gone as smoothly without Alyssa there to support me and my husband. I feel so appreciative of her support through this time in my life and I can honestly say that I gained a friend. 11/10 would recommend Alyssa to be your doula.
