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.

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.

Hello! I'm Sydney Hough Solomon of Water Lily Sleep Consulting and I'm a certified child sleep consultant. I believe parents can have it all; a warm and nurturing relationship with their child and a full night's sleep. At Water Lily Sleep Consulting we follow a child's natural bodily rhythms, create strong routines, and work at your pace. Quality rest plays a major role in a child's mood, health, and development. I think it's important to remember that parents are human, and in order to be present and engaged with their children they need sleep too!

With certification in perinatal mood disorders, and personal experience as a wife and mother, I am well-suited to help women navigate the complexities of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. Although starting a family has its joys, it also brings all kinds of unexpected stresses. I help with problems such as: adjusting to the demands of motherhood, bonding with baby, caring for ill baby, problems with intimacy or connection with partner, self-care, balancing home and work demands, low family support, miscarriage, post-partum depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, obsessions, loss, and grief.

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.

From the first contraction to the first 40 days—I’ve got you. I’m Jade, a birth and postpartum doula and mom of five from Detroit. I’ve been supporting families for over 10 years—through labor, birth, and those tender postpartum weeks. In the birth room, I bring calm, steady support so you and your partner feel confident and cared for. Once baby is here, I shift into hands-on help—cooking nourishing meals, guiding breastfeeding, and making sure moms get the rest and recovery they deserve.

After caring for families of all kinds of backgrounds and in various situations, I’ve realized how much support is actually needed, specifically in the early Postpartums days with your newborn.

Chloe was the most professional, helpful, and trustworthy postpartum doula imaginable. She had a relaxed/thoughtful demeanor, was incredibly competent, and our baby loved spending time with her. She was always one step ahead of our little guy's development, was the perfect addition to our home, and we really couldn't be more grateful.

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!
