Christina Johnson BSPH, CBD, CPD, CCLS, CLC, IBCLC. I am a mother of two. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Wayne State University in 2018. I became a Certified Lactation Counselor in 2018, completed the Clinical and Communication Lactation Specialist training in 2021, and then passed the International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant exam in 2023. I'm certified as a birth and postpartum doula by Lifespan Doulas. Love for my own family and my community has led me to focus on health education, promoting awareness of human lactation, and assisting in extending breastfeeding duration and exclusivity for the families I serve. I am passionate about accessible lactation care and enthusiastic about health and wellness promotion and youth development. My goal is simply to aid others in being healthy and keeping their family healthy. My expertise is in maternal and child health, emphasizing a positive breastfeeding experience and an active family lifestyle. I love to support parents in reaching their breastfeeding goals and guiding them when life circumstances limit their breastfeeding goals. The combination of these values led me to launch Lactation Lighthouse.
Christina was amazing! I was feeling so discouraged with my breastfeeding journey after having mastitis a few times and she was able to help me pinpoint what the causes might be. After meeting with her and following her suggestions i have been mastitis free and truly enjoying my breastfeeding journey. Christina is so knowledgeable, personable, and caring. She took her time with me and baby and made sure all my questions/concerns were addressed. I immediately felt comfortable with her and would use her services again! I highly recommend her!!

Hi love š¤ Iām a nanny and holistic birth and postpartum doula specializing in home and birth center births. I believe birth should be peaceful, safe, and aligned with your intuition. My focus is to help you feel supported, informed, and free to birth exactly how you envision itācalm, confident, and surrounded by care.
I must say, Elizabeth is an amazing doula, sheās my cousin and Iām just so blessed to have her. She flew down to me, with her own daughter who wasnāt even one at the time to come assist me during my early stages of postpartum. She truly goes above and beyond. A 10/10 doula. I do recommend

Hi, I'm Hannah. I've been in birth work for 20 years, though I've been passionate about birth for as long as I can remember. As a registered nurse (with labor and delivery experience) certified doula, childbirth educator, and life coach, I focus on helping you feel empowered and supported throughout the process of your pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. I'm a mom of six boys, myself and have experienced both hospital and home birth personally. I know first hand how birth can imprint and shape the mind and memory and make every effort to assure my mamas experience birth as beautiful! I co-founded and work with a partnership of doulas in Michiana - Birth Doulas of Michiana.
I would highly recommended Hannah Norton to any of my friends or family who are pregnant and looking for a kind, knowledgable, and experienced doula! Our experience with Hannah far exceeded ecxpectations. Her response time to questions and concerns was very timely and she welcomed any questions without hesitations. Having access to the whole Birth Doulas of Michiana cohort and all their specialties was an added bonus. It was a joy and comfort having her as our doula throughout our whole pregnancy.

Hello! Im Ashley! I am a momma of 2 little princesses, an army wife, and I love Jesus! My goal is to serve and empower women through pregnancy and childbirth! During these very important moments in your life, I strive to create the most positive experience for you, your partner, and your baby!
I seriously would not have been able to do this birth thing without her!! I felt comforted and like I had a supportive friend there for my husband and I throughout my entire labor and even after. When my water broke, she was there with me to labor most of the day at home and spent all night in the hospital with us. Labor and delivery is filled with many highs and lows, and there are so many emotions that take place, but I was so thankful for Ashley during it all. She really added so much joy and value to my labor experience, and cheered me on as I made my final pushes for our sweet baby girl to join us!! It was incredible and I was so grateful. Highly, highly recommend her 10000x!!! I also really appreciated her costs. We were really struggling financially at the time and I really wanted a doula but so many were so expensive, and then I found her and was so thankful despite our struggle, we were able to come up with a plan and make it work! It meant the world to us. š„²

Hello! I'm Logan! My journey to becoming a doula was deeply influenced by my own personal experiences with childbirth. I've experienced a range of birth scenarios, including two cesarean sections, and three VBAC births. After my initial two C-sections, I felt a strong desire for a better birth experience. This led me to immerse myself in research about birth and VBAC options. With the knowledge I gained, I felt empowered to pursue a VBAC and was successful in achieving three vaginal births. I am passionate about educating and empowering other women to understand their options and feel supported in making the best choices for their own birth journey. I'm here to support you, as together we research, learn, and prepare for the birth you envision. I'm proud to be a certified doula through the West Michigan Midwifery Institute, and I'm committed to providing compassionate and informed support to every woman I serve.
When I got pregnant with our fourth child my husband and I both knew without a doubt that we wanted Logan to be our doula. Sheās everything a pregnant momma could ask for! Logan is a great encourager, advocate, and educator. She takes the time to listen to other peopleās needs and desires and works to make those a reality. I have complicated pregnancies and Logan made sure to take the time to do some research regarding my needs, pointed me to many valuable resources, and helped me think through what the best options were for me. She is honest, yet gentle and genuinely cares about those she works with. Logan was willing to go to doctors appointments with me as well to help voice my desires when my OB was unwilling to listen to or work with me. With her by my side I always felt much more at ease and prepared to welcome a precious new life into the world. I would choose Logan for a doula again every single time, hands down!

Because of my unique blend of training and experience in both counseling and doula work, I am a good choice as a doula for anyone who would appreciate the extra depths I can go to in our prenatal and postpartum visits, as well as during your birth! In addition to the transformative and emotional side of birth, I also have done extended study in spinning babies, what different labor patterns mean, and what positions help in different situations. My toolbox includes all the standard ācomfort measuresā most doulas use for labor as well as a lot of āoutside the boxā ways to cope that I have learned from my extensive reading.
Morielle was a peaceful and incredibly helpful presence during pregnancy and birth. She was insightful, calm, and knowledgeable. She offered ideas, strategies, exercises, and knowledge that helped me immensely. Her peaceful presence helped me navigate difficulties during pregnancy, such as having a baby in the breech position and undergoing the ECV procedure. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for emotional, physical, and spiritual support during pregnancy and childbirth!

Doula and Holistic Health Guide. I support women in the fertile years feel better in their bodies. From Pre-Conception through peri-menopause I help women listen to their bodies to learn what it is saying to them.
Having Katy is a gift and privilege for any birthing parents, and I'd recommend her services whole-heartedly. There are the typical things you'd expect when working with a doula - education, emotional support, evidence-based knowledge - but it's the intangibles that sets Katy apart. She is kind and thoughtful, and is so generous with her time and support. She is intentional on how she prepares you in the weeks and months leading up to your due date, and equips you with knowledge to build a base of confidence to draw from during labor and birth. Her steadfast resolution to be your advocate, and her unconditional support is absolutely priceless. Our three births were each very different (C-section, VBAC, C-section), and Katy was instrumental and essential to each. Katy remained a true partner and advocated for how we wanted to bring our children into the world.

Hi I am Maria, and I came to doula work after working in childcare for 8 years. After spending time with parents who had relatively no postpartum care or support, I soon started my training to bridge that gap. I believe that the postpartum period is one of the most crucial stages of pregnancy. Many parents experience feelings of loneliness, confusion, and exhaustion and it is Mariaās top priority to help parents feel their best during your fourth trimester. Maria believes that every family who wants a doula should have one. Promoting a judgement free zone, she happily works with families and individuals of any age, race, & gender. Instilling confidence and nurturing a new family is what makes Maria excited to go to work every day. Maria has been trained as an EMT, birth and postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor, and is working on her IBCLC certification which she plans to finish by winter 2025.
I have worked with Maria for almost a year now and it has been the best decision for my family. I am a first time mom and only got 6 weeks of maternity leave before going back to work full time. Maria provided overnight support and it helped tremendously. She took over care for my son so that I could get a full nights sleep. I woke up to a happy baby, clean house, and was able to start the day off right. I absolutely recommend Maria to everyone!

As a dedicated mother of four, I bring my passion for birth, breastfeeding, and maternal mental health to my work as a doula. With extensive training and certification, I am committed to providing exceptional support to families during the transformative journey of childbirth and early parenthood. I am certified in Infant/Child and Adult CPR/AED, ensuring safety in all situations. My additional certifications issued from the State of Michigan include Breastfeeding Basics for Peer Counselors, Infant Safe Sleep for Professionals Working with Families, Prevention of Early Elective Delivery, and Alcohol Free Baby & Me. My mission is to empower and support families, helping them navigate the challenges and joys of childbirth and early parenting with confidence and care.
I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional doula for the birth of my twin boys, and I can't recommend her enough. From our first meeting, it was evident that she was highly educated and knowledgeable about childbirth, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my pregnancy and labor/delivery, she provided unwavering support, offering valuable advice and comfort. Her presence during labor was incredibly reassuring. My doula played a crucial role in helping me achieve the natural birth I desired. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, skilled, and committed to your birth experience, look no further. Worth every penny trust me!

Marcellus, Michigan
Mom of 5, currently enrolled in International Doula Institute, certifying in birth, postpartum, lactation counseling and childbirth education. I am honored to be able to help people through this wonderful, chaotic and unpredictable transition in their life!
I cannot recommend Karly Simpson enough! From the beginning of my pregnancy, she was a steady source of knowledge, comfort, and encouragement. She took the time to really understand my needs, my fears, and my hopes for birth. During pregnancy, her physical support was invaluable whether it was showing me positions to ease discomfort, helping me prepare my body for labor, or simply being there to check in and make sure I was taking care of myself. She offered practical tools that made such a difference, and I always felt more confident after talking with her. When labor began, she was my rock. She guided me through each contraction, suggesting positions, breathing techniques, and hands on support that made the process more manageable. She anticipated my needs before I could even ask and worked with my partner by giving him the confidence to support me. I donāt think my partner and I could have had a more magical experience together. Her calm, grounding presence helped me stay focused and empowered. She reminded me of my strength when I started to doubt myself, and she celebrated each step of progress with me. I truly felt seen, heard, and cared for every moment. Having Karly by my side made my birth experience not only more comfortable but also more meaningful. She gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed, and I am forever grateful. If you are considering a doula, look no further Karly is incredible!

I am a passionate birth doula who is dedicated to helping mothers feel heard and in control of their pregnancy and birth by finding trust, strength, and empowerment through listening to the intuition we all have as mothers. My personal experiences of having a C-section, a miscarriage, and a VBAC have all encouraged me to help educate and support other women throughout their own journeys. My goal is for mother and partner to feel supported through prenatal education and confident in trusting their combined intuition to make the best decisions for their family in this life changing moment.
Brooklynn exudes warmth, friendliness, compassion and drive on the job and off! She has a way of making you feel so special, valued, heard, and really like your her own family. It is something I have always admired about her! She will be your biggest advocate and make you feel like you can accomplish anything! You will be so incredibly blessed if you choose Brooklynn to be by your side guiding you through your pregnancy and delivery!

Hi everyone, I'm Ashli Burney, The Viberant Doula, here to support you and your family during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My passion is to equip families with the tools they need to self advocate and create a rememberable birth experience. I am really big on self-care and I believe that you have to do for yourself, like you do for everyone else. For self-care I like to go for walks, give myself a facial, paint my nails and toes, arts & crafts, and just sit and do nothing while I listen to music.
Ashli was absolutely fantastic during my birth with my second baby. She advocated for me and encouraged me throughout my whole labor and delivery and was very informative during my prenatal and postnatal visits! She made my birth such a beautiful and wonderful experience and my husband and I will be forever grateful for her support! If you need a doula I promise you Ashli is the women for you!

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.
Kristin was a god send. She was constantly available and there to answer questions or put my worries to rest. The day I went into labor she was at the hospital so quick, put my husband and I at ease, and even took beautiful photos of the birth (which is what I asked) I wouldnāt have been able to do it without her!

The dream is to empower YOU to advocate for YOURSELF. No one knows your body like you do. No one knows your baby like you do. I do the work, the research so that you go into birth fully prepared to make the birth you crave, happen! I also so fully believe that everyone, and I mean everyone⦠deserves this. So if we need to talk about pricing and/or a payment plan to make it happen. Please please bring that up. Iām a doula on the team at Great Lakes Doulas.
Having a doula for the birth of my son was the best decision I could have made. This was my first baby which of course comes with its own unique fears and excitements. Ashley was excellent at calming those fears and encouraging those excitements. I never knew how important it was to have someone be an advocate while pregnant, through delivery, and postpartum. Ashley is extremely compassionate, kind, and knowledgeable when it comes to babies, carrying them and delivering them. I asked her so many questions and she always had an answer, she would still continue to do research to make sure I had all the information I needed. She believes strongly in the ability of moms and I needed that to keep me going. She was my biggest cheerleader from the day I told her I was pregnant, to my first drops of colostrum, to ending up getting an epidural and to even now when tell her about our good and bad days. Everyone should have a doula, and especially so when you want to do things as natural as possible. If you believe God made you to do this, then you should have Ashley by your side and in your corner.

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, āAs a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.ā My goal as a doula is to hold the mother through every stage and be there for her and her family.
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 donāt 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.

As a dedicated and supportive mother, my goal is to help you take a step back and truly take hold of each moment of your labor. I believe in empowering you to make the choices that feel right for you as your birth journey unfolds. Your birth story should be a beautiful reflection of your experience and the role you play. I live by a simple yet profound motto: āThe mother deserves to be cherished and celebrated, the baby deserves to be embraced and revered, and the space around them is sacred and should be honored.ā Together, let's create an atmosphere that nurtures all of this. I am a birth doula who equally specializes in all birth outcomes. I delivered my son who was incompatible with life and it opened my eyes to the need of bereavement doulas as well as birth doulas. Hold and honor your babies.
Emily is very compassionate when it comes to the language and care during childloss. Although we didnt get to experience her during a labor, she was very knowledgeable and would hire her for future birth.

From the first contraction to the first 40 daysāIāve got you. Iām Jade, a birth and postpartum doula and mom of five from Detroit.

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 - someoneās 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 Micalynās 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 babyās 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 canāt recommend her doula services highly enough!
