Hi! I'm Abbey. I've been an infant nanny for more than ten years, ranging from full-time to as-needed. I've served as a night nanny twice, and it's my favorite! 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 specialize 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 photographer and doula. I am the co-founder of The Nurturing Company. My teammate and I offer birth photography, birth support, postpartum support, birth and postpartum prep, and a variety of photography session options. It is our goal that families working with us feel held and supported as they enter into this chapter of their parenthood journey. As a doula, I provide physical, emotional, and informational support for families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I am passionate about helping families through education and advocacy. As a birth photographer, I artfully document birth stories to capture all the details of how each birth unfolds. I desire to help families see the beauty, strength, and surrender in each of their birth images.

Hey everyone, my name is Liyah Brown I am a certified Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Lactation consultant located in Saginaw, Michigan. I am a first time mom so I am learning little by little as well with my potential clients. From the moment you find out you're pregnant to the moment you deliver are very vulnerable times every woman deserves a great birth that should be a beautiful memory. As a doula all I want is to be there for you and treat you with the care you deserve. I became a doula because every woman deserves to be heard and treated with the upmost respect during laboring. Every mother should have a calm and peaceful experience.

Hi I’m Abigail! From educating you on safe sleep, car seat safety, fed and sleep schedules to helping out with household chores I’m here for you. As a Postpartum doula my goal is to make your life and adjusting to parenthood/another little one as easy as possible!

Hi! I'm a Birth Doula and a Pediatric Sleep Consultant in Lansing, MI. The root for my interest in supporting women during birth started years ago when a neighbor told me the story of her natural birth (with a doula!). It planted a seed of fascination that eventually led to me certifying as a doula and becoming a student midwife. I love birth, and I support all kinds of births as a doula. I believe having extra support prenatally and during birth is 100% worth it. And as a sleep consultant, I help babies, toddlers, and families get better rest so they can be happier people during waking hours.

Hi! My name is Robin and I'm a newborn nanny and trained newborn care specialist, working with first-time parents only and caring for babies 0 to 18 months. I educate parents with all aspects of newborn care such as feeding, fussiness, bathing, nursery essentials, nap training, swaddling, routines, and healthy sleep habits. In addition, I make this transitional period easier by cooking and baking for parents while baby sleeps (for a small additional fee). While working as a newborn nanny, I also teach baby sign language beginning at 5 months. I am also a certified virtual Sleep Consultant for babies ages four thru 18 months. Wherever you live, I can help! I have worked as a volunteer for 2 hospitals, supporting moms in a parenting program, and assisting nurses with newborns in a special care nursery. I'm a mom of two grown children (23 and 27), and am married to a retired firefighter.

Hello! I am Mindy Heinonen and I am a birth doula in Livingston county, MI. I grew up the youngest of seven and have always been surrounded with children. I was a nanny before I realized my calling to supporting mothers in their journey. I believe that support during the most transformative moments of your life is something that every family deserves. I am passionate about physiological birth and supporting what a woman's body was made to do. I came up with the name "Loving Arms Doula" from the belief that my mind, hands, and heart can truly make a difference in your story.
