Hello Leanne, My name is Mary Lucas and I used to work as a volunteer at Reach the Forgotten in Kent Co. Jail. There I met Cassandra four years ago. There is a long story which brought her to this place including addiction and homelessness. She did have a baby when she was 17 years old and the birth did not go so well (She has told us) as she had little support or training. Therfore she is a little scared about the birth process. Cassandra is currently in Rehab at Our Hope, Grand Rapids MI and doing really well. She had previously came to the hospital (St. Mary's Trinity, GR) with a severe blood infection in her foot and shoulder, a while back and during that time she detoxed. She agreed to go to Our Hope Rehab after the infection was mitigated and she was discharged from the hospital. There is a ministry that I am now associated with that is supporting her. We all love her. She is a awesome young woman and loves the Lord with passion. Cassandra is a Medicaid patient. We are not sure if you accept Medicaid and doula work this late in a pregnancy, but we could use some help. Cassandra really responds well to patience and love, like we all do. If you do not accept Medicaid, the ministry would be open to taking care of your fees. Because she is in Rehab there are some complications with communication. We could set up a professional visit, but talking on the phone is only allowed two times a day currently until she has been in the program longer. If you meet her you will love her. She has had a tough road so far.... but she is in a really good spot now in her faith journey. Cassandra did not know what a doula was, so when I described what doulas do, she said she would like one. She only asked that they would be Christian. So please prayerfully consider this opportunity. Thank You, Mary Lucas

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.

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.

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.

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.
