Michaela (Mikki) Bell is the face behind TheDoulaBell and has really been preparing for this gifting her whole life. She jokes, "The first doula client I ever had was a momma sheep out on our family friend's farm in Colorado when I was 9 years old. That was the first birth I ever participated in and since then, I've been so enthralled with birth in every form." Mikki's real journey to becoming a doula began with the birth of her firstborn, Jensen. She states that having a doula herself changed her whole perception about what birth is really like and what the human body is capable of. She says "My doula really helped me achieve what I hoped for in childbirth. She supported all of my decisions and was just that constant reassuring presence of someone who knows birth. Birth is hard and sometimes scary and I think it's absolutely essential to have someone that the birthing person and her partner can rely on and who can help them achieve their goals and dreams on potentially one of the most memorable days of their lives." ​ Mikki has been able to work with parents in all types of birth settings, deliveries with OB's in the operating room and with midwives at home in a bedroom, and for parents of twins, singletons, and for IVF and VBAC families. Without a doubt, you will feel supported in every way during your pregnancy, labor and birth if you decide to hire Mikki, TheDoulaBell.

Hello Parents, I decided to begin my service as a Postpartum Doula because I have a passion for the wellness of women and children. I worked before as a Youth Liasion advocating for young people who battled homelessness. In my service, I met with several clients with little ones and they lacked the necessary resources to care for their children. I noticed the emotional strain that was placed on the mothers so I would help out where I could. I love spending time with children so I made the decision to become educated. My philosophy is this: you are not alone and it is perfectly fine to not know. You have support and you deserve it. My role is to help educate your family on how to care for your newborn and also provide emotional support so you can enjoy the process. Please feel free to reach out and contact me!

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter. My journey into birth work is rooted in a deep calling to support families through one of life’s most sacred transitions—with presence, encouragement, and care that honors the unique story of each family. I understand that birth is not just a physical experience—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual. My role is to hold space for all of it. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you with steadiness and respect. I believe birth is a profound rite of passage that belongs to the birthing person and their family. My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.
