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.

Hi, my name is Alaila. I've been working as a doula for about 1 year now. I have 8 years of experience working in childcare as an early childhood education teacher. I have 3 children of my own, 1 boy and 2 girls. I became a doula because, I myself have preterm labor so I know the struggle to be heard during such an emotionally and physically difficult time as labor. I wanted to become a voice for anyone who is experiencing this struggle, to lift up their voice in the birthing room. I am currently enrolled and taking classes at Henry Ford to become a Medical Assistant. I plan to specialize as a Radiographer so that I can be even more helpful to the mothers I serve in the community and clinic settings.

When it comes to the birth space, my goal is to support you in any of your choices, even if they change. I focus on inclusivity (I work towards anti-racism, anti-transphobia, anti-fatphobia, and disability visibility). I am an advocate and guardian in the birth space. I have a lot of passions and interests and have books on everything from rain, moss, clouds, pregnancy, birth, parenting, and death. when I am your Doula, I’m your friend. Not only do I provide comfort and knowledge, but I’m also here for you to confide in, talk things through, and laugh with! Sometimes I’m witchy, sometimes I’m crunchy, sometimes I’m basic, sometimes I’m punky. That’s me!

With an innate passion for babies and their families, Danielle has an insightful and peaceful presence as a postpartum doula. Her compassion and understanding grew for the postpartum period after having her own set of Irish twins. Two little boys, resulting from back to back pregnancies a little over 7 years ago, gave her the wonderful experience of parenting that she wanted to share. Many of her friends called on her for advice and emotional support through their own pregnancies and postpartum times. ​ Knowing this life-changing time in a person's life should not be spent alone, and believing she could help, Danielle followed her goals and became officially certified in 2023. Completing ProDoula’s program has given her the confidence and ability to help all those in the postpartum stage of life. Although her degree in elementary education isn’t front and center anymore, all the years in child development and classroom management have given her even more tools to become a successful doula. ​ Danielle has been a doula to many clients, friends and family members. She realizes her unbiased strengths in this field are worthy of a true career and cannot wait to meet and guide new families through this time.
