Hello, my name is Jane Boyakjon, and I am a birth doula based in Highland, Michigan. I’ve been interested in birth and working with mothers since my internship with a local pregnancy center in high school. I considered being a doula for several years during college before getting my training in September of 2024. I am passionate about helping pregnant women release fear associated with birth, and help them prepare for it as much as possible. I believe the moment of birth can and should be one of connection, empowerment, and joy rather than chaos and stress. With the right tools and support, that vision can become a reality. I work to create an atmosphere of confidence, love, and advocacy for my clients during their journey to motherhood. In my free time, I enjoy sewing my own clothes, making ceramics in my home studio, and spending time outside in nature. Hope to connect with you soon! I can’t wait to make your birth an experience to remember. Lots of Doulove, ~Jane

Hi, I’m Courtney a postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor, and mom to a singleton and a set of twins. I’ve breastfed all three of my children for over a year, and through that experience, I found my true calling: helping new mothers feel confident, supported, and empowered in their postpartum journey. Feeding your baby is deeply personal, and I’m here to help you find what works best for your family. Whether that’s breastfeeding, formula feeding, pumping, or a combination. My priority is helping you feel informed and supported every step of the way. I bring patience, compassion, and a listening ear to every visit. This work is my passion, and I’m honored to support you during this beautiful, vulnerable, and transformative time in your life.

I'm Stephanie with Gentle Birthing, and my interest in birth work was awakened the day my first child was born in 2010 at home, surrounded by our midwife and birthing team. It was at that point I realized that more women need to know their birthing options. We had 4 more home water births in South Carolina before returning to Southeast Michigan where we welcomed our 6th child at home in 2020. I enjoy learning about the physiology of pregnancy and the process of giving birth and am fascinated with all the different natural coping techniques for pain management. With each of my own births, I implemented something new I had learned along the way. I hope to support expecting mothers in the ways I have received encouragement and support from the birth workers in my life. Their support changed the way I thought about birth and what I was capable of doing.

As a doula, my goal is to support you physically and emotionally, advocate for you and your choices, answer your questions, and help provide you a positive, unbiased/non-judgmental birth experience.

Hey badass birthing warrior! I'm a mom of two tiny humans, a certified Birth Doula, Birth Photographer and Childbirth Educator serving expectant families throughout Southeast Michigan. I usually serve within an hour of Jackson, MI. I got my start in birth work by being a wedding and family photographer first. Then on Pinterest, I found birth photography photos and I thought it was beautiful. So I got into birth photography and was hooked. Then after I had my first kid, I took a birth doula training and realized that this was my calling. Not everyone has an empowering birth story and I want to help change the cultural attitude around birth by making them excited, (It's okay to be a little nervous!), confident and prepared for birth. Birth is a transformational experience for both the birthing person and their partner.

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.
