Find Doula Jobs in Michigan

Hello, My husband and I are expecting our first baby around August 22nd. I hope to labor at home as long as possible and then will deliver in a hospital in Traverse City, MI. I would like labor and delivery to be as natural as possible, avoiding any unnecessary medical interventions for baby and I. I’m hoping for a doula who brings a calm gentle presence but is also able to adapt and advocate for me when needed. As a first time mom I’m hoping for support and guidance around all things lactation. I do also have a very friendly dog that will be a part of everything at home. He’s very gentle but also very much a puppy still so it’s important to me that we’re working with someone who’s is comfortable around dogs. My faith is also a strong part of how I approach birth and motherhood, so I would be overjoyed to work with someone who is comfortable providing support and encouragement from a faith based perspective. However, this is not a requirement. More than anything I just want someone who can respect my values and help me feel peaceful, informed, supported, and advocated for throughout my first experience with childbirth.

Hospital birth. My budget is up to 2800. My birth plan is saline lock , no epidural, no pint. I want to labor at home for as much as the labor as possible. I want the least amount of interventions as possible. I am ok with a newer provider.

Hi there! VBAC no epidural birth centre birth no vaccines for baby immediately after birth and no coached pushing and waiting for the cord to turn white and intermittent fetal monitoring and not labouring on my back

We are currently exploring doula services for the birth of our first child and are looking for a supportive, knowledgeable provider who aligns with our values and needs. We are planning a hospital birth in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Our estimated due date is around [insert due date], and we would like support during labor, delivery, and potentially postpartum. Our budget is flexible depending on services offered, but we are ideally looking in the range of $800–$2,000 for birth doula services. We are open to discussing packages and payment plans if available. Our birth plan is to have a calm, supportive, and informed experience. While we are open to medical interventions if necessary, we would prefer a low-intervention birth if possible. Emotional support, guidance with pain management techniques, and advocacy during labor are very important to us. We are especially interested in someone who can help us feel confident and prepared, as this is our first pregnancy following IVF. For the provider, we are looking for someone who: Is a certified doula (DONA, CAPPA, or equivalent preferred) Has at least 2–3 years of experience or has attended multiple births Is comfortable supporting first-time parents Has strong communication skills and a calming presence Bonus if you have experience with IVF pregnancies or high-emotion journeys Bonus if you speak an additional language (not required, but appreciated) Regarding care details: This will be a newborn (first child) No known special medical needs at this time We are interested in guidance on feeding (open to breastfeeding support, but flexible) We may also be interested in additional support, such as: Light postpartum support Newborn care education Basic guidance on sleep routines Light household help (e.g., simple meal prep or tidying), depending on availability Our insurance provider is [insert provider + plan], though we understand doula services may not always be covered. We are open to any documentation needed for reimbursement if applicable. Overall, we are looking for someone who feels like a good personal fit—supportive, knowledgeable, and able to guide us through this experience with confidence and care.

Hospital Not sure Just need help with advocating about vaccines for my baby and try to be as natural as possible

Giving birth in a hospital but would like to go as natural as possible

I am unsure as of now, my first birth was with an epidural in the hospitals but my son had gastroschisis so it was heavily monitored. I would love to give birth at home but without a fallback on epidural scares me. Estimated budget it probably $3000-$3500 Birth plan is also TBD I am 11 weeks. If I did an at home birth I would love a birthing pool. Water calms me a lot. We have a bathtub but it’s tight but it could work instead. No vaccinations at all, minimal medical intervention unless needed. I feel like I shouldn’t book a doula until I know my baby is healthy at the anatomy scan? But I would love your thoughts.

I’d like a water birth at a safe facility please. And I’d like to spend a bit less vs. a hospital. I want to be seen and heard.

Really looking for someone to ground me and during birth and help me make educated decisions that I will be happy with in the long term and not get pressured into making choices in the heat of the moment in childbirth. I am looking to do a hospital birth.

Plan to birth in a hospital, would like to attempt all natural delivery with no epidural. Insurance should take care of majority of cost. Would like support during birth/labor. Would like guidance for my husband to do most of the work with supporting me.

I would like an home waterbirth with providers who preferably accept insurance. I’m not sure of my budget yet. My birth plan which is subject to change: delayed cord clamping, natural birth no pain management, skin to skin for mom and dad for the first 60 minutes, no eye ointment, vit k drops instead of a shot. That’s all for now but I’m still writing it. I would like a midwife who has experience with at least 7-10 home water births.

This is my first birth and we are giving birth away from home (our families are in Chicago) so I’m looking for extra support and guidance. We will be giving birth at Sparrow hospital. My goals are to avoid C-section (if possible), avoid any invasive tools or unnecessary procedures and avoid epidural (if possible). I’m open to someone with less experience and I am unsure on a budget at this time.
