Hi! My name is Alyssa I am a holistic 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, “As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.” 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 don’t 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.

Hello! My name is Jillian (Jill is fine, too!) I am a Certified Birth Doula in the Metro Detroit area. Becoming a birth doula felt natural to me because I have always loved everything about birth and the strength that comes with bringing a baby into the world. Along with being a doula, I am also a Licensed Massage Therapist, which allows me to bring both physical comfort and emotional care into your birth experience. My goal is simple- to be there for you in the way you need the most. No matter what your birth plan looks like, I will walk alongside you without judgement- whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean, or if things shift along the way. You deserve to feel safe, heard, and cared for throughout your entire experience. I want every mother and family I work with to feel at ease being themselves and confident in their choices. Birth is beautiful, but it can also be intense, emotional, and deeply empowering- sometimes all at once! It is an honor for me to be present with you through such a meaningful moment in your life. When I'm not caring for families, I am spending time with my two boys. We love going on adventures together and making memories whenever we can. Motherhood has given me such a deep appreciation for the journey of pregnancy, birth, and raising children. My boys play a huge role in why I care so deeply about the families I am working with.

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! She was an absolute rock star during the birth of my baby, who arrived 6 weeks early. Through all the uncertainty and stress, Michelle was there every step of the way to keep the calm and peace, offering unwavering support and reassurance. She was a true rock for my family, ensuring I was taken care of and advocating for me throughout the process—especially during the scarier moments when doctors weren’t explaining things clearly. Michelle stepped in to make sure we understood everything. Her compassionate presence made a world of difference. On top of that, she captured beautiful, meaningful pictures when we first brought our baby home from the NICU. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and supportive doula.

Hi there! As a certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, I offer daytime and overnight support to help families transition into parenthood confidently. I have undergone extensive training, including CPR/first aid/AED, Infant Safe Sleep, Adequate Intake, Basics of Lactation, Infant Mental Health, and Infant Sleep Conditioning. I am currently studying to become an IBCLC which will further enhance my ability to support new parents on their chest/breastfeeding journey. I consider myself gentle, attentive, professional and supportive. I strive to provide the highest quality care by viewing every child (and family) as unique and adjusting my care accordingly, based on baby's needs and parent preferences.

Megan was with us for 12 hours a night, for 12 weeks, starting the night we came home from the hospital with our newborn. As the saying goes, it takes a village, and we are grateful that Megan was part of ours. As first-time parents, we were especially grateful for Megan's knowledge and experience. From swaddling techniques to bottle expiration, we learned from her gentle guidance. Megan's expertise was invaluable in helping us establish a routine and gain confidence in our new roles. Megan's duties included cleaning and sanitizing bottles, pacifiers, and pump parts, preparing and feeding bottles, handling baby's laundry, changing diapers, and organizing the nursery. She performed these responsibilities with the love and care we would hope for from a family member. Her meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that everything was in perfect order, allowing us to focus on bonding with our baby. Beyond her technical skills, Megan's warmth and compassion made a significant impact on our family. We truly looked forward to seeing her every day. Her calm and reassuring presence provided us with much-needed support during a time of transition and adjustment. She not only took excellent care of our daughter but also helped us navigate the challenges of new parenthood with ease and confidence. Megan's dedication and professionalism were evident in every aspect of her work. She was always punctual, reliable, and respectful of our home and routines. Her ability to anticipate our needs and offer solutions before we even realized we needed them was a testament to her experience and commitment to excellence. In summary, Megan McLaughlin played a crucial role in our early days of parenthood. Her professional skills, combined with her compassionate approach, made a significant difference in our lives. We are deeply grateful for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough to any family in need of a Newborn Care Specialist. She is an exceptional individual who will undoubtedly bring the same level of care and dedication to any family she works with.
