Find a Lactation Consultant or IBCLC Near Me in Michigan

I’m Sam! I am an internationally board certified lactation consultant as well as a trained postpartum and birth doula. I always knew I wanted to work with babies and families and started off as a professional nanny. Then when I had my first and started breastfeeding I fell in love with it and was such an advocate for everyone to breastfeed. It wasn’t until my 2nd daughter that I even knew lactation consultants were a thing. I got referred to one and when I met her she changed the game. So I went to Henry Ford College to get my certification and graduated from the lactation program in 2022. I understand firsthand the challenges and joys that come with feeding your baby, and I’m here to provide compassionate, personalized care to help you feel confident every step of the way. Every feeding journey is different just like every baby and parent is.

Hi everyone! My name is Beth. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother of 6 located in Bay City, Michigan. I am a Certified Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Lactation Counselor. I have worked in the medical field for over 30 years in a clinical capacity. My company, Born to Bloom Doula Care was founded out of a passion to provide comprehensive support services for expectant and new mothers. I am dedicated to making sure you feel heard, respected and empowered to make decisions about your care and journey throughout your pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journeys. Born To Bloom Doula Care offers compassionate, personalized support for families during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. We aim to empower individuals and couples by providing guidance, education, and emotional care throughout their reproductive journey. Whether it's a first-time pregnancy or a growing family, Born To Bloom Doula Care is committed to creating a supportive, nurturing environment for each unique experience. The services provided include prenatal education, where clients receive tailored information on topics like birth plans, pain management, and the stages of labor. We are available for physical, emotional, and informational support during labor and delivery, advocating for the client’s wishes and ensuring they feel heard and respected in the birthing process. This hands-on support includes comfort techniques, breathing exercises, and suggestions for positions during labor to promote a smoother experience. Postpartum care is equally integral to the services offered by Born To Bloom Doula Care. After birth, we provide postpartum visits, offering guidance on infant care, breastfeeding support, and emotional well-being for new parents. Born To Bloom Doula Care is trained to support a variety of birth settings, including hospital births, and birthing centers.

Born To Bloom Doula Care is not just a service but a commitment to nurturing each family's journey into parenthood with care, knowledge, and compassion.

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.

I am a mother of 2 beautiful children. My daughter was born in the Fall of 2020, and I felt like life had failed to prepare me for all things birth related. I knew nothing about pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. I had dreamt for years about getting pregnant, and I wanted nothing more than to be a mom. When it finally happened, I felt so unprepared. I was confused why my friends on social media looked like they had it all together. How did they look so well rested after having baby? How did they not have any problems with labor? How did they look so happy pregnant? How come their baby is latching and mine isn’t? It took me months, a supportive partner, and an amazing counselor to realize that I was normal. These are things that a lot of parents deal with, and I am here to tell you, that is okay! My mission is to support you through this beautiful journey by offering non-judgmental, non-prescriptive compassionate support for all birth choices and all birthing people. My goal is to help you have a positive birth experience, advocate for you and your preferences, and help you navigate all of your choices during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, lactation and parenting your baby.
