I am a birth and postpartum doula located in the Metro Detroit with a background in public relations. I have over a year of experience with a vaginal birth rate over 80%. I am passionate about birth work as a result of my own experiences with 2 preventable c-sections and a vaginal birth after cesarean (attended by a doula). In addition this work is dear to my hear having witnessed the impact of the advocacy, support and assistance doulas provide especially in the lives of women of color.

Hi, I’m Amanda! I am a licensed psychotherapist and perinatal mental health specialist. Helping moms adjust to (and actually enjoy!) their motherhood role is my passion. I work with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (postpartum anxiety and rage are my special areas of interest), as well as with mamas that just need little extra support as you navigate raising good humans; strengthening your relationship after baby; and managing the mental load of motherhood.

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.

Hi everyone, I'm Ashli Burney, The Viberant Doula, here to support you and your family during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My passion is to equip families with the tools they need to self advocate and create a rememberable birth experience. I am really big on self-care and I believe that you have to do for yourself, like you do for everyone else. For self-care I like to go for walks, give myself a facial, paint my nails and toes, arts & crafts, and just sit and do nothing while I listen to music.

Recent review

Ashli was absolutely fantastic during my birth with my second baby. She advocated for me and encouraged me throughout my whole labor and delivery and was very informative during my prenatal and postnatal visits! She made my birth such a beautiful and wonderful experience and my husband and I will be forever grateful for her support! If you need a doula I promise you Ashli is the women for you!

Because of my unique blend of training and experience in both counseling and doula work, I am a good choice as a doula for anyone who would appreciate the extra depths I can go to in our prenatal and postpartum visits, as well as during your birth! In addition to the transformative and emotional side of birth, I also have done extended study in spinning babies, what different labor patterns mean, and what positions help in different situations. My toolbox includes all the standard “comfort measures” most doulas use for labor as well as a lot of “outside the box” ways to cope that I have learned from my extensive reading.

Recent review

Morielle was a peaceful and incredibly helpful presence during pregnancy and birth. She was insightful, calm, and knowledgeable. She offered ideas, strategies, exercises, and knowledge that helped me immensely. Her peaceful presence helped me navigate difficulties during pregnancy, such as having a baby in the breech position and undergoing the ECV procedure. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for emotional, physical, and spiritual support during pregnancy and childbirth!

Recent review

I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional doula for the birth of my twin boys, and I can't recommend her enough. From our first meeting, it was evident that she was highly educated and knowledgeable about childbirth, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my pregnancy and labor/delivery, she provided unwavering support, offering valuable advice and comfort. Her presence during labor was incredibly reassuring. My doula played a crucial role in helping me achieve the natural birth I desired. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, skilled, and committed to your birth experience, look no further. Worth every penny trust me!

I must say, Elizabeth is an amazing doula, she’s my cousin and I’m just so blessed to have her. She flew down to me, with her own daughter who wasn’t even one at the time to come assist me during my early stages of postpartum. She truly goes above and beyond. A 10/10 doula. I do recommend
