Hi I’m Tiffany Becton. I’m a Certified Birth Doula. I support women throughout pregnancy and during labor and delivery. I support at home births as well as hospitals. With my services I provide 3 prenatal visits, day of delivery and a postpartum family follow up. I give mom a nesting party to prepare for the baby. Mom receives a gift bag with my No Cramps tea to drink after birth to help with the bleeding and cramping. I also bengkung bind mom the day after delivery to help with posture and prevent diastasis recti.

Tiffany was my doula for my second pregnancy. She attended a few prenatals and was available via phone and text for any concerns I had. When I went past my due date she came over to exercise with me. She hosted a nesting party and provided herbs for pregnancy and postpartum support. During the birth she used her skills and knowledge to assist me through labor. She was a source of great support and affirmations throughout labor. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I am so lucky to have had her as my doula!

Hi I’m Jess! I am a wife to Cody, mom to five girls, and a Certified Birth Doula. I have worked for three years with families. Grace-filled Birth Doula Services was created out of my desire to see families supported, empowered and advocated for during their pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum.

I don't think I would have gotten my natural birth as well as I did without Jess. It was my very first pregnancy and Jess was keeping me from panicking all throughout my 10 hours in active labor in the hospital. She was quite literally there for me to lean on. Her affirmation cards were so helpful at keeping me calm through the pains. She never ceased to help me by making sure I always had hot water on my back in my tub, water tp drink, and snacks. She never let up on helping the whole time! Not only that, her follow up leading up to and after birth makes you really feel supported and cared for. She always had great advice for exercises and mindset practice leading up to labor. I know my husband was also so grateful to have her support as well as it is very scary to be the strong one for your wife in the most pain of her life. We are so blessed to have her as our doula.

Hello! My name is Hailey. I am an Innate Traditions certified postpartum doula. I found my calling in this field after my own early postpartum experience. Lacking not only in the village but in hands on, at home, holistic care. It's important to me that all mothers, new and seasoned, experience the kind of love and attention I have been taught to provide. When I am not serving postpartum women, I am spending time with my son, our friends and family, trying fun new nourishing recipes, or at work. I work for a chiropractor in Concord Township which has been a great resource for the women I serve. Email me and we can plan your dream postpartum season together!

Hi, I'm Victoria, also known as VicTheDoula, and I am the proud owner of The Crowned Nest Doula Company. As a dedicated doula, my mission is to support birthing individuals through their unique pregnancy journeys. Primarily, I offer remote doula services via text, calls, and Zoom meetings, ensuring that you have the guidance and support you need from the comfort of your own home. While I may occasionally offer in-person support on a case-by-case basis, my focus is on providing accessible care tailored to your needs. Though I do not have biological children, I am a loving mom of one and a foster/adoptive parent. My passion for becoming a doula stems from my experiences as a queer woman of color, where I have witnessed firsthand how the medical field can sometimes disadvantage women of color. With rising statistics highlighting these disparities, I felt compelled to advocate for those who may feel voiceless. I proudly support all couples and single parents, and my identity within the LGBTQIA+ community brings a unique perspective to my services. If you're seeking a remote doula who can be a steadfast rock during your time of need, provide valuable resources, and assist you and your partner in your journey to parenthood, I am here for you. Let's embark on this beautiful journey together!

Victoria was my doula for my pregnancy. As my sister I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else besides her to be there with me. Remotely and in person she was an amazing resource. When having complications while laboring doctors were ignoring my concerns. Vic quickly stepped in and had doctors realize something was wrong. Due to her diligence we realized my baby had already passed his meconium and an extra team needed to be present at his birth. I ended up having a c section of 25 hrs of laboring but Vic was right there cheering me on. Her being there for the birth of her nephew was pure magical. Best doula ever.

Hello and congratulations on your upcoming birth! Birth is a gift. Working a birth doula since 2009 has been a great joy in my life. I love walking the journey with couples - providing caring support, calm confidence, and years of experience to help make birth the best it can be. Other than supporting birth, my favorite days include time with my family (4 grown children and one grandson), being out in nature, prayer, and reading a good book.

We were so thankful to have Cheryl with us during the birth of our son! My husband and I both said we didn’t know what we would’ve done without her! During my long labor, she stayed by my side the entire time and helped with any decisions that arose. She gave us honest answers, making sure we knew the pros and cons of each decision. We appreciated that Cheryl was very conscious of the kind of birth we wanted and did her best with helping us achieve that as much as was in our hands. She worked very well with the other staff during delivery which meant a lot to us. We loved her soft, confident manner. Thank you so much, Cheryl!

Thank you for taking a minute to learn more about me! My name is Cari Walters. After an eight year battle with infertility, including a full year of testing, medications, and numerous hospital visits, I started my own mom Journey. My husband was deployed to Iraq for the birth of our first child. I would have been all alone if it wasn’t for the close-knit military wives (and occasionally my mom who lived out of state) that encircled me during this precious time. If it wasn’t for these women loving on me and advising me before, during, and after my birth, I know it would not have been such a positive experience. I knew at once that I wanted to support and love other moms in the same manner. I started out supporting new moms by being a part of a group called MOPS. My husband returned from war and shortly after we were blessed with a second baby without all the fertility trials. I continued working with moms through the MOPS organization as we moved across the country to Colorado. It was there that I met a beautiful friend and fellow MOPS mentor who introduced me to being a doula. In 2020, after taking the 200hr course with 75hrs of clinical work I began my journey as a full spectrum doula. I absolutely love birth and postpartum work but quickly learned that I really shined on the postpartum side of birth work. I concentrated on obtaining my Newborn Care Specialist certification and Sleep Guide Certification to improve and round out my skills as a postpartum doula.

Cari has been wonderful to work with. Highly recommend. She is very professional, supportive & knowledgeable. She always arrives on time, maybe even a little early. I appreciate that she always leaves a note recapping the night with how much the LO ate, diapers & any comments on sleep or suggestions. My animals also loved Cari and the extra late night pets!

I can't thank Jesse enough for the incredible support during my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. From our first meeting, she made me feel comfortable and informed. During labor, she was a calming presence, using techniques that truly helped manage my pain. Her postpartum support was invaluable, assisting with breastfeeding and newborn care. She was always available to answer questions and provided the emotional support I needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable doula!!
