We so often are in search of magic, without realizing we have it right inside of ourselves. For me, becoming a mother has proven that to be true. Birthing Ancestors was created from the idea that when you have a child you are not only birthing a future generation, but you are also birthing yourself as a parent - someone’s ancestor. It is my greatest honor to holistically support you throughout every stage of your childbearing journey, and help you to discover the magic that has always been inside of you. Since becoming a certified Full Spectrum Doula in 2021, I have fallen deeply in love with this work. I have expanded my knowledge to support clients from fertility/preconception planning thru postpartum, with special interests in herbal and nutritional support. I also have 200hr yoga teacher certification giving me knowledge in anatomy, stretching and strengthening muscles, relaxation techniques, and preparing the body for labor.

Micalyn is an amazing doula and I highly recommend her services. I am forever grateful for her crucial role in making my unmedicated, hospital birth a positive and empowering experience. The prenatal meetings were very in-depth and included healthcare during pregnancy, rehearsal of labor positions, and the construction of a birth plan. Micalyn also provided me with handmade herbal tea and was readily available via phone or text at any time I needed support. Going into my birth, I felt prepared and confident. I was immensely thankful for Micalyn’s presence during my labor and birth. Whether it was conversation or physical touch, her peaceful and loving presence was so appreciated. She made the hospital space as beautiful as possible with Christmas lights near the bed and flameless candles around the bathtub. Micalyn collaborated fabulously with the hospital staff, and everyone was very impressed with her. When I was pushing, she was the one who suggested the position change that immediately resulted in my baby’s delivery. Micalyn was right there by my side when my son quickly entered the world: she called to the midwife to catch him and her shoes got drenched with the birthing fluids! Our postpartum visits were extremely helpful. When my son was a few days old, she came over and taught me how to do things such as put a diaper on and wear a baby wrap. She also brought me another handmade tea for sitz baths, which felt amazing. Micalyn is clearly made for this work and I can’t recommend her doula services highly enough!

Hi, I’m so thankful you’re here.

I believe that birth is a beautiful, God-designed experience, and it’s my heart’s desire to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and deeply seen. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I will walk with you in love, prayer, and steady encouragement, gently reminding you that you are never alone. I strive to create a peaceful, prayerful space where you feel supported, confident, and reminded that God is present in every contraction, every breath, and every moment of your journey. My philosophy is rooted in trust: trust in your body, trust in the process, and most importantly, trust in the Lord who has authored your story and knit your baby together with intention and care. Whether you desire prayer, quiet presence, or a reassuring voice during labor, as your doula, my role is not just physical or emotional—I am here to pray with you, speak life over you, and remind you of the promises God has spoken over your motherhood. It would be an honor to walk this path with you.

As a dedicated and supportive mother, my goal is to help you take a step back and truly take hold of each moment of your labor. I believe in empowering you to make the choices that feel right for you as your birth journey unfolds. Your birth story should be a beautiful reflection of your experience and the role you play. I live by a simple yet profound motto: “The mother deserves to be cherished and celebrated, the baby deserves to be embraced and revered, and the space around them is sacred and should be honored.” Together, let's create an atmosphere that nurtures all of this. I am a birth doula who equally specializes in all birth outcomes. I delivered my son who was incompatible with life and it opened my eyes to the need of bereavement doulas as well as birth doulas. Hold and honor your babies.

Emily is very compassionate when it comes to the language and care during childloss. Although we didnt get to experience her during a labor, she was very knowledgeable and would hire her for future birth.

I am a passionate birth doula who is dedicated to helping mothers feel heard and in control of their pregnancy and birth by finding trust, strength, and empowerment through listening to the intuition we all have as mothers. My personal experiences of having a C-section, a miscarriage, and a VBAC have all encouraged me to help educate and support other women throughout their own journeys. My goal is for mother and partner to feel supported through prenatal education and confident in trusting their combined intuition to make the best decisions for their family in this life changing moment.

I am a DONA-certified birth doula practicing in the Ann Arbor, MI area. I believe that doula support is a right, not a privilege, so my fees are nominal and my services are above and beyond. In addition to the usual DONA certification training, I am also trained through Survivor Moms and I also volunteer with the Michigan Prison Doula Initiative, in addition to my private practice. I have no time cut-off, so if your labor is moving slowly, I will stay with you all the way. I have been told that my kindness, compassion and ability to listen and advocate has been a godsend to many of my clients.

I am a birth and postpartum doula who loves working with new families as they grow and develop! When it comes to birth, I believe each person labors and births in their own unique way, and I want to discover what the birth process looks like for you. I believe the postpartum period is a time of rest, healing, and bonding for new parents, and I lovingly support that process in your home. When I'm not doula-ing, I enjoy reading, yoga, and spending time outside.
