With an innate passion for babies and their families, Danielle has an insightful and peaceful presence as a postpartum doula. Her compassion and understanding grew for the postpartum period after having her own set of Irish twins. Two little boys, resulting from back to back pregnancies a little over 7 years ago, gave her the wonderful experience of parenting that she wanted to share. Many of her friends called on her for advice and emotional support through their own pregnancies and postpartum times. ​ Knowing this life-changing time in a person's life should not be spent alone, and believing she could help, Danielle followed her goals and became officially certified in 2023. Completing ProDoula’s program has given her the confidence and ability to help all those in the postpartum stage of life. Although her degree in elementary education isn’t front and center anymore, all the years in child development and classroom management have given her even more tools to become a successful doula. ​ Danielle has been a doula to many clients, friends and family members. She realizes her unbiased strengths in this field are worthy of a true career and cannot wait to meet and guide new families through this time.

Hi, my name is Alaila. I've been working as a doula for about 1 year now. I have 8 years of experience working in childcare as an early childhood education teacher. I have 3 children of my own, 1 boy and 2 girls. I became a doula because, I myself have preterm labor so I know the struggle to be heard during such an emotionally and physically difficult time as labor. I wanted to become a voice for anyone who is experiencing this struggle, to lift up their voice in the birthing room. I am currently enrolled and taking classes at Henry Ford to become a Medical Assistant. I plan to specialize as a Radiographer so that I can be even more helpful to the mothers I serve in the community and clinic settings.

With certification in perinatal mood disorders, and personal experience as a wife and mother, I am well-suited to help women navigate the complexities of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. Although starting a family has its joys, it also brings all kinds of unexpected stresses. I help with problems such as: adjusting to the demands of motherhood, bonding with baby, caring for ill baby, problems with intimacy or connection with partner, self-care, balancing home and work demands, low family support, miscarriage, post-partum depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, obsessions, loss, and grief.

From the first contraction to the first 40 days—I’ve got you. I’m Jade, a birth and postpartum doula and mom of five from Detroit. I’ve been supporting families for over 10 years—through labor, birth, and those tender postpartum weeks. In the birth room, I bring calm, steady support so you and your partner feel confident and cared for. Once baby is here, I shift into hands-on help—cooking nourishing meals, guiding breastfeeding, and making sure moms get the rest and recovery they deserve.
