Baby Sleep Consultants & Coaches Near Me in Kentwood, MI

Hi! I'm Abbey. I've been an infant nanny for more than ten years, ranging from full-time to as-needed. Night nannying has been my favorite, and I'm working toward a Newborn Care Specialist credential! I love working with new moms (and dads), comforting the understandable anxiety, trying out new "tricks" and methods for baby's care, and enjoying all the little milestones together as a team. I believe parents know their child best and do my best to follow their lead(s) and needs in addition to baby's. Safety is extremely important to me. I'm vaccinated, I don't smoke/chew, I love dogs and cats, and I have reliable transportation! I am knowledgeable in sleep training and have experience with medically needy, colicky, and gassy babies. I am trained in Infant CPR, First Aid, safe sleep, swaddling techniques, and general feeding protocols (breastmilk and formula). Right now, I also work as a book editor (self-employed). I have a Bachelor's in English and Creative Writing. I'm a big believer in getting to know each other first! Let's meet for coffee, chat on the phone--whatever you'd like! I'm grateful you took the time to read this! :) Abbey

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and co-owner of Gold Coast Doulas. I teach a comfort measures class and co-created the Becoming A Mother online course. I love interviewing guests on our Ask the Doulas podcast.

Hi there. My name is Kennadi… I live in Muskegon, Michigan and after experiencing a wonderful home birth in 2020 I became so excited to have the opportunity to become a birth and postpartum doula. I believe every birthing family has the right to their autonomy and voice, and I remain a fierce advocate and support for the wishes of each and every family. This passion will never die inside of me, so I am ready now and always to be there for those in need. You can do this! And I will lift you up while you do.

I believe that supporting mothers through the thresholds of birth and postpartum is how we can heal and transform our culture into one that is sustainable, inclusive, and nurturing.

Choosing a doula is about finding someone you feel safe with, supported by, and truly listened to. I believe every family deserves to feel respected, informed, and cared for during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My goal is to create a calm, steady presence so parents can focus on welcoming their baby with confidence. I am a DONA Certified birth and postpartum doula, a Lactation Specialist, and VBAC certified. I also have training in techniques such as Spinning Babies, the Miles Circuit, and a variety of labor positions and comfort measures that can help support progress and reduce discomfort during labor. My role during birth is to help create a calm environment, offer practical comfort techniques, and support both the birthing person and their partner so they feel informed and empowered throughout the experience. After birth, my focus shifts to helping families rest, recover, and adjust to life with their new baby. Postpartum support can include newborn care guidance, feeding support, emotional encouragement, and helping parents find their rhythm during those early weeks. Every family is different, and I meet people where they are and support them in the ways that feel most helpful to them. I proudly accept Medicaid as well as private pay so that more families can access doula support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Supporting families during this time is truly meaningful work to me, and I feel honored to be invited into such an important moment in people’s lives. When I am not working with families, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and visiting the beach where I love collecting rocks along the shore.

All these moments in my life set me on my path and passion for birth & postpartum support, and maternal mental health.

I'm a career nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with a Master's in Childhood Studies. I'm also currently working towards certification as a post-natal mental health specialist. My approach to working with both parents and children is a calm environment, lots of empathy, and a focus on parental well-being and children's rights. I've primarily worked with children ages newborn to 5 years old, with focused interest in sleep, development, language acquisition, and children's rights- particularly how caregivers can apply the UNCRC to the every day care of children. I've been blessed with some amazing, lovely nanny families throughout my career, and I've had the good fortune to work with both celebrity clients and members of a royal family. I'm very easy-going, I tend to get along with everyone, and I value kindess, tolerance, and communication.

I believe support for each mama looks different.

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.

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.
