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.

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.

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!

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!

Hi, I’m Lexi! A devoted doula, nursing and psychology student, and a passionate follower of Christ. I'm also a proud dog mom to a sweet fur baby named Bill. My journey into healthcare began when I cared for my grandmother after she was diagnosed with multiple stage 4 cancers. That sacred experience ignited a deep desire in me to support others through life’s most vulnerable and meaningful transitions. I'm especially fascinated by women’s health and drawn to holistic approaches to healing and wellness. I believe in nurturing the whole person body, mind, and spirit. I’m always eager to grow in my knowledge of holistic medicine and compassionate care. Currently, I work with postpartum mothers and pediatric patients in a hospital setting, offering support, comfort, and presence during times of healing and new beginnings. My heart is to walk alongside new and experienced families alike, honoring the divine beauty of birth and the incredible journey of parenthood. It’s my joy to serve God’s little blessings and their families with empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based care.
