I am the founder and creator of Appointed Time Doula Services. I am a graduate of Dona International where I attained my Birth Doula Certification. It is paramount to me that my clients feel as welcome and as cared for as though they were members of my own family, in comparison to being a part of an uncaring system. The most rewarding aspect of my ministry is the opportunity to witness a new life come forth into this world. This priceless moment allows me to develop a unique relationship with each family.

I am a birth doula in the Northern Indiana area, supporting mothers in and around the greater Goshen area. I have been working with pregnant women for many years, and have been a birth doula for 2 years.. I fully believe that every mother deserves to have a birth doula to support them through the entire pregnancy and birth process. I am daily amazed at how God created the woman to go through this process. I have been VBAC certified, and love working with families to achieve better outcomes that then would have been able to reach on their own.

Hey, I’m Lauren Byler, a birth and postpartum doula serving within a hour radius of Warsaw, Indiana, who’s passionate about helping families feel calm, supported, and confident through one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. I’ve always been drawn to the beauty and strength of birth, and I love being able to hold space for people as they find their own rhythm and trust in the process. My goal as a doula is to bring a steady, reassuring presence; to be someone families can lean on through the unknowns and the in-between moments. I believe every birth story is unique, and that support should feel personal and heartfelt. Being invited into this part of someone’s journey is such an honor, and it’s truly the kind of work that is so fulfilling.

Lauren was my doula for the birth of my daughter, and she was honestly incredible. From the moment I went into labor, she was calm and so reassuring. She helped me breathe through contractions, reminded me to relax my shoulders when I started tensing up, and kept telling me I was doing great when I started to doubt myself. That encouragement made such a difference. One thing that really stood out was how intuitive she was; she always seemed to know exactly what I needed without me having to say it. When things got intense, she applied counter pressure on my back and helped me change positions to get more comfortable. She also helped my husband feel involved, showing him how to support me and keeping both of us calm. She has such a comforting presence and a deep understanding of birth. I never felt judged or rushed, just completely supported. Would recommend her to anyone.

Hello! I’m Eva, a Full-Spectrum Doula proudly serving the Michiana area (Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan). My passion for birth work began when I was a teenager and has only grown stronger over the years. Before becoming a doula, I spent many years supporting families as a full-time nanny, building deep connections with parents and children in my community. I later took my passion for birth work to Hannah’s House of Michiana, where I gained invaluable experience working closely with women in various stages of their reproductive journey. In the Fall of 2022, I experienced one of the most transformative moments of my life when I welcomed my son into the world. His birth ignited a powerful, unshakable calling to support other families through their own birth and postpartum journeys. Since then, I’ve had the honor of stepping into my role as a doula in my local community. I believe every person deserves to be supported through their unique birth experience with respect and compassion. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating your postpartum transition, or anything in between, I’m here to offer you non-judgmental, evidence-based support that centers you and your family. You are the expert of your body, your birth, and your choices, and my role is to help protect, advocate for, and support your vision for your journey.

Eva is not only a great doula but also a genuinely down to earth and funny person who brings joy and laughter to your pregnancy and birth. She made me feel like the sister I never had was there as well as a knowledgeable and sweet doula. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants solid support, an advocate in their corner and a jovial mood at their birth.

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.

Hi, I am a newly trained birth Doula serving the Michiana area from Kalamazoo to St. Joe to South Bend. I am currently still persuing my certification, but am very eager to jump in whole hearted to the birth world. I have two babies of my own, with two very different birth stories and I know firsthand there will always be a need and place for doula support during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period. I am naturally minded and love physiologic birth but also recognize that each woman is unique and a successful birth is by their own definition. In my free time you'll find me chasing my babies and consuming copious amounts of coffee. I look forward to chatting with you!

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 don’t 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!
