Find a Doula Near Me in Royal Oak, MI

I am a DONA trained birth and postpartum doula, as well as a BSW/MSW level social worker! I believe that it's important to take a holistic approach to birth and parenthood. These experiences are sacred and everyone deserves to have the support they need. The correlation of mental health and birth/postpartum is huge. With my knowledge of community resources, mental health, and trauma, I can provide the care to all who need it.

Hi, I’m Tori Ferrier! I’m a birth and postpartum doula with a passion for helping parents feel empowered—whether that means supporting you in having the birth experience you desire or guiding you through those early postpartum days with confidence and care. I believe everyone deserves compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-based support. I have special experience working with neurodivergent parents, LGBTQ+ families, and individuals who have experienced trauma, and I’m committed to making doula care accessible for all. I’d love to connect—whether you’re expecting, in the postpartum phase, or just curious about how a doula can support you! Let’s chat!

My name is Katie Crow and I have been supporting pregnant women in our community for the past five years. I started out as an advocate helping pregnant women in crisis get the resources they need, and then moved into birthwork. My passion for women drives me forward everyday Having six births with varying stories myself, I meet families where they are at and help their vision come to pass. I support birth at home, in the hospital both natural and medicated believing that only mom knows which choices are right for her body and baby.

Hello! I am a new doula and childbirth educator. I am a total birth nerd and am so excited to help you on your journey through motherhood. How you birth is YOUR choice. It is my passion to ensure you feel empowered in your choices during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Hi there Mama! My name is Faith and I’m a labor and delivery nurse and certified doula, passionate about helping women have empowering and informed births. I pride myself on being a knowledgeable, approachable and accessible presence during such a transformative time in a woman’s life. My goal is to empower women, educate them about their options, and help them feel supported every step of the way. I’m exceptional at listening to the specific needs of each family and tailoring my care to meet their unique requests. As a doula, I provide emotional and physical support before, during, and after birth. I’m skilled at creating a calming environment, offering comfort measures like massage and relaxation techniques, and being an advocate for the birthing person’s wishes. I also assist with breastfeeding, guide families through postpartum recovery, and help partners feel confident in their roles. With certifications in NRP, ACLS, BLS, EFM, breastfeeding, and more, I bring both clinical expertise and compassionate care to my work. Whether it’s through antepartum support during high-risk pregnancies, encouragement during labor, or postpartum reassurance, I’m here to ensure the family’s journey is as smooth, personalized, and empowering as possible.

I am a birth doula, wife, and mother of two; and co-owner of Heart of the Thumb Doula Services. Having had high risk pregnancies myself, I aim to help pregnant women feel less alone. My goal is to provide love, give support, and guide mothers through pregnancy, labor, and beyond.

As a doula, I can: - encourage you to find and utilize your voice to advocate for yourself and your child -provide you with evidence-based information about pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period and walk you through creating a birth plan; I even create a formal PDF copy for you or I to take to the hospital after our thorough discussions! :) - provide physical and emotional support throughout our time together through appointments, phone, and text check ins -locate and connect you to local resources to help bridge needs, find compassionate and patient-centered care, and keep you up to date on local family events and programs -give tips on comfort during pregnancy, birth ball demonstrations, breastfeeding education and postpartum lactation (including pumping and flange fitting) text, phone, and in person support and assistance -play the role of a pregnancy companion; text me how your provider appointments went! I want to know! :) Yes, I want to know the gender, and YES I want to know when you’re feeling down and lonely! Feel comfortable telling me about the stress of returning to work or the stress of affording food this week. Let me be the person who says, “Okay, so how can I help?!” -and soooo much more! With personalized services geared towards education, perinatal medical advocacy, and physical and emotional preparation, and the goal of preparation for childbirth and caring for both your new baby and postpartum body. Although our birth plan may not go EXACTLY as planned, I do believe every birthing person should feel heard, respected, and in control of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. With that, I will always go the extra mile if that mile is within my reach, to ensure that happens for each of my client families. My birth experiences may not have gone exactly the way I imagined it would.. But the end result always came out even better than I could have dreamed! I am the lucky parent of 2 beautiful children who, as CLICHE as it is, are the absolute light of my life! I have a 3 year old son who melts hearts for a living (Ha! He knows he’s a little ham), and a very intelligent 11 year old daughter who loves art, kittens, and peace and quiet away from her brother (we are your typical American family you can say lol..). I have a wonderful significant other named Brandon who has helped me to be able to support my client families and community. Every time I take off for a birth, he says “Take your time with them, babe! Your clients need and deserve it!” Brandon also supported the growth of our family when we decided to introduce two cats to our household earlier this year! Felix is a super friendly kitty who gives strange, but satisfying human-like hugs and Doula (yes, I did think this was hilarious at the time lol) is a total sweetie who is always ready for love! Shortly after we adopted our final family member, Clyde, a super relaxed bearded dragon who quickly learned that if he acted EXTRA cute I would probably offer him an extra bug instead of making him eat ALL of his fruit and veggie salad. As IRONIC as it is, in the experiences of creating and bringing up my family, life has shaped me into a person with a passion in serving other people who are bringing up their own growing families. As someone with the experience of a teenage mother, I am transparent of the fact that pregnancy, birth, and parenting can be a scary road to navigate if you are doing it without support, guidance, or knowledge of “how all this works.” I have a passion for what I do because I believe every current and expecting mother deserves to have someone they can turn to without judgement and biases in a time that can be an excruciatingly vulnerable time for a lot of us.

My philosophy is that birth is a normal and natural process. Women have an innate ability to birth their babies. Our bodies and our babies are perfectly designed for the journey. If you’ve never given birth before, let me be the first to assure you that you hold an incredible power within to grow, birth, and nourish your baby after they’re born. I believe in your power and the strength of women. Pregnancy and birth are incredibly transforming experiences in the life of a woman and her family. The stories and people that you surround yourself with during the months of pregnancy and at your birth have the potential to either enhance or diminish your belief in yourself. Every woman and birth deserves to be respected and held in a caring environment. Empowering yourself with education and support for birth helps build confidence in your ability to give birth. Education allows you to be an active participant on your journey into motherhood. It helps lead to higher rates of satisfaction of your birthing experience and a reduction in fear and anxiety. It is also associated with higher rates of vaginal birth.
