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 there! I'm Jill, and I'm an IBCLC and a holistic sleep specialist. I work with families to get to the root of their feeding and/or sleep challenges. I accept several insurance plans and offer sliding scale pricing for out of network clients. Unique from other IBCLCs and sleep consultants, I work with families to help understand & address the root cause of their baby's night wakings without ANY form of separation-based sleep training. My approach centers attachment and is informed by neuroscience & infant brain development, as well as biological feeding norms. Because I specialized training in lactation care, oral function, and nutrition, I have helped hundreds of families identify missed (or dismissed) issues affecting sleep and improve their child's health & well-being for life.

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.

I'm Stephanie with Gentle Birthing, and my interest in birth work was awakened the day my first child was born in 2010 at home, surrounded by our midwife and birthing team. It was at that point I realized that more women need to know their birthing options. We had 4 more home water births in South Carolina before returning to Southeast Michigan where we welcomed our 6th child at home in 2020. I enjoy learning about the physiology of pregnancy and the process of giving birth and am fascinated with all the different natural coping techniques for pain management. With each of my own births, I implemented something new I had learned along the way. I hope to support expecting mothers in the ways I have received encouragement and support from the birth workers in my life. Their support changed the way I thought about birth and what I was capable of doing.

Stephanie was a great help to us as we prepared for the arrival of our fourth baby and during delivery as well.

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, “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.

Recent review

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.

I am a certified Labor Doula, Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, and Lactation Specialist with over twenty combined years of professional and personal experience. I took the leap in 2020 during COVID to become certified and continue to educate myself regularly. My passion is supporting new families as they navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum journey. As a mother of six and a proud Nana, my personal experiences have helped shape my deep commitment to empowering women during these most memorable, and sometimes vulnerable, moments of their lives. Even as a young mother, I was determined to understand every aspect of motherhood — learning extensively about what pregnancy entails, how childbirth transforms us, and for that brief moment why nature reminds us to pause. My dedication deepened in light of the alarming maternal mortality rates among women of color, which led me to become a Labor Doula. I quickly recognized the critical need for support after the baby came home and became a Postpartum Doula with a special focus on overnight care. I took action on my passion. I am honored to help families navigate the beginning of their new journey.
