I'm a Full Spectrum Doula and Perinatal Health Advocate. My goal is to provide exceptional care to all birthing parents, with special attention to historically marginalized communities. I offer comprehensive support throughout the reproductive journey, including pregnancy, fertility, pregnancy and infant loss, and abortion. However, I am currently focusing on supporting families during the postpartum period. Supporting the emotional and mental well-being of those newly postpartum is essential to the strength of the birthing person as well as their family. I believe that every family deserves compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. Whether you need emotional support, practical assistance, or educational resources, I am here to help you navigate the postpartum period with confidence and ease. My practice is built on the foundation of inclusivity and respect. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment for all families.I understand the challenges that can arise during the postpartum period, and I am dedicated to providing the support needed to ensure a positive and empowering experience. My diverse training and certifications enable me to offer a wide range of culturally sensitive and informed care practices. Let's work together to create a nurturing and supportive environment for you and your family during this important time. I look forward to being a part of your journey and helping you build a strong foundation for your family's future.

My name is Claire and I am starting my doula journey. I feel that I have been called to support women during pregnancy and postpartum. I'm outgoing, supportive of your choices as a mother, and a great listener. I am skilled at de-escalating situations in which you may feel panicked or afraid, and explain things in simple terms so that they aren't overwhelming. I will advocate for you in whatever situation you need, whether with a high-pressure medical provider or your nosy mother-in-law. I have worked with children 5 to 18 years old who have mental, physical, and emotional handicaps as well as a multitude of students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Working with these students has brought me so much joy and understanding of a world that can be very hard to explain to those with no experience in it. Whether it is you, your children, or loved ones who identify with the previous disorders, I would be beyond honored and ecstatic to help work through the crazy mystery and miracle of birth. I am currently going through the certification process to be a doula and need to attend three births to be fully certified. I am looking to help anyone I can in this process.

Claire was my doula throughout my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She went with me to doctors visits and spoke up for my needs when I didn’t feel like I could advocate for myself. She was constantly researching ways to solve each unique problem I would have, such as ways to help my hyperemesis graviderum, finding unique foods that would stay down, or baby products that would accommodate specific needs that I or my neurodivergent husband had. She also taught my husband how to care for me when he felt incapable of helping me. During my natural homebirth Claire helped me stay calm and in a positive headspace while making sure my birth plan was followed. I was able to breathe baby out without any interventions and I credit so much of that to Claire’s support. Postpartum she helped me to the bathroom, helped me change my diapers, and even bathed me and washed my hair when I felt incapable of taking care of myself due to a painful tear from the birth. She came when I hadn’t slept in 48 hours post birth and took care of my newborn so I could sleep. Any time I called Claire she would just let me talk, release any anxieties I was having, and then help me come up with a practical plan to solve my problem. She is a fantastic listener and she was never condescending or made me feel silly for any of my anxieties or little problems. I truly could not have gotten through any of the pregnancy stages without Claire’s support and would highly recommend her to everyone, especially if you are neurodivergent and need someone who will stand up for you in any situation. Thank you, Claire!

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.

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.

☆☆☆☆☆ - 5 stars I just want to start by saying that this woman is OUTSTANDING! Let that sink in real quick. When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was absolutely terrified in every aspect. I was on my way to being a first time mom, and I had no clue what I was doing or even about to have to do once I had my baby. Someone suggested that I look into hiring a doula to assist me. So I started looking around, and that's when someone had suggested Kennadi. My first initial meeting with Kennadi went better than I could have imagined. She is very personable, and I immediately felt comfortable around her. She is very compassionate, nurturing, outgoing, helpful, knowledgeable, has great sense of humor, she is committed, and just an all around wonderful person. Throughout my pregnancy, she never once made me feel like I was alone. She helped me to feel more confident in my new adventure, and my big belly at the time. Kennadi was always checking in on me, and making sure that my pregnancy was going as well as it could. Being pregnant was tough, and pretty nerve wracking to be honest. But I can honestly say that it would have been much worse without her. When it came time for baby, it by no means went as I had hoped. But that's how pregnancy goes, right? Giving birth went from being scary, to what felt like an outright nightmare in minutes. Yet Kennadi was so supportive me, and cheered me on through everything. Even after birth, she has been so good to my new family and I. Having the extra support, made a world of difference, and having her specifically, by my side, I couldn't have asked for a better support system, truly. So with all that being said, if you are looking to make your birth experience as positive as possible, Kennadi is definitely the woman to have in your corner no doubt! 10/10 would highly recommend her and her services to anyone.

I’m Anne Fleming, a doula serving women across Metro Detroit with dedicated support during both labor and the postpartum period. I’m passionate about walking alongside women and their families during this important season, offering physical and emotional care that helps them feel confident and supported. Whether I’m providing comfort measures during labor or nurturing mothers in the early weeks after birth, my goal is to create a calm, reassuring presence and offer encouragement every step of the way. It’s my joy to help women feel empowered and cared for as they welcome new life into their families.

Recent review

I didn’t meet Annie until I was about 35 weeks pregnant, but from the very beginning, she made me feel completely supported and at ease. Even though we connected late in my pregnancy, she jumped right in with warmth, knowledge, and encouragement that made it feel like she'd been part of my journey all along. When I went into labor, Annie came exactly when I needed her. She met us at the hospital and was an absolute rock throughout the entire process. Her presence was calming, grounding, and so reassuring. She knew just what to say and do to help me stay focused and confident, and she worked beautifully alongside the hospital staff while always prioritizing my comfort and wishes. Having Annie by my side made such a difference. She helped create a birth experience that felt empowering and supported — I truly can’t imagine going through it without her. Thank you, Annie, for being there when I needed you most and for bringing so much care and strength into such an important moment in my life.

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.

Recent review

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.

We so often are in search of magic, without realizing we have it right inside of ourselves. For me, becoming a mother has proven that to be true. Birthing Ancestors was created from the idea that when you have a child you are not only birthing a future generation, but you are also birthing yourself as a parent - someone’s ancestor. It is my greatest honor to holistically support you throughout every stage of your childbearing journey, and help you to discover the magic that has always been inside of you. Since becoming a certified Full Spectrum Doula in 2021, I have fallen deeply in love with this work. I have expanded my knowledge to support clients from fertility/preconception planning thru postpartum, with special interests in herbal and nutritional support. I also have 200hr yoga teacher certification giving me knowledge in anatomy, stretching and strengthening muscles, relaxation techniques, and preparing the body for labor.

Micalyn is an amazing doula and I highly recommend her services. I am forever grateful for her crucial role in making my unmedicated, hospital birth a positive and empowering experience. The prenatal meetings were very in-depth and included healthcare during pregnancy, rehearsal of labor positions, and the construction of a birth plan. Micalyn also provided me with handmade herbal tea and was readily available via phone or text at any time I needed support. Going into my birth, I felt prepared and confident. I was immensely thankful for Micalyn’s presence during my labor and birth. Whether it was conversation or physical touch, her peaceful and loving presence was so appreciated. She made the hospital space as beautiful as possible with Christmas lights near the bed and flameless candles around the bathtub. Micalyn collaborated fabulously with the hospital staff, and everyone was very impressed with her. When I was pushing, she was the one who suggested the position change that immediately resulted in my baby’s delivery. Micalyn was right there by my side when my son quickly entered the world: she called to the midwife to catch him and her shoes got drenched with the birthing fluids! Our postpartum visits were extremely helpful. When my son was a few days old, she came over and taught me how to do things such as put a diaper on and wear a baby wrap. She also brought me another handmade tea for sitz baths, which felt amazing. Micalyn is clearly made for this work and I can’t recommend her doula services highly enough!
