After falling in love with my birthing experience, I wanted to help support other expectant mothers in having the birth experience of their dreams. During the pandemic I was becoming a first time mom and had no idea what to expect so I researched and found an amazing doula. My doula helped me gain the knowledge and resources needed to plan and have an unmedicated vaginal birth at a birthing center. After this, I became certified as a Doula through Best Doula. Giving birth helped me to realize that having a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies as well as 10+ years experience working with children and families did not fully prepare me for the preparation needed to give birth. That was the job of a doula and support team. Since this time, I have been working as a doula in and around Detroit❤️

India is a certified birth & postpartum doula, who loves to read, cook & eat, exercise, drink tea, & have a good time. Certified through BMBFA, India graduated with three births, which kickstarted her doula career. India’s mission behind Laboring with Love, Doula Services is to change the way women experience motherhood & lessen the stress & anxiety surrounding childbirth & the 4th trimester. This will be achieved by providing you with adequate & evidence-based information, resources, comfort measures during labor, emotional, physical & mental support, while advocating for you & teaching you the proper way to advocate for yourself so you’re able to achieve your desired birth experience. Caring for you during the 4th trimester, LWLDS practices the Ayurvedic approach, which is an Indian practice that relies on a natural & holistic approach to help you heal physically & mentally, by focusing on four things: rest, warmth, nutrition, & body work. Mothers need to be mothered and nurtured so they’re able to properly mother & nurture their child, which is why during the 4th trimester, the focus is to care for the mother. Every woman deserves a doula & there’s no way to labor than to Labor with Love!

My favorite moment during birth is seeing the laboring person tap into a strength that most do not realize has always been there. I am Kayla Connors; a black birth worker from Allen Park, MI. I trained with DONA International in March of 2020 and have recently re-trained with ProDoula. While black and native laboring people statistically face more complications from and after labor, the inflexible nature of the healthcare system impacts ALL of us. I am here to help you navigate your labor by grounding you in your birth experience. What does that mean? I recognize that each laboring person has that kernel of strength within them. It is natural for that strength to be clouded by uncertainty. I will channel the seed of that strength through my own enthusiasm and facilitate its growth throughout the birthing process whether that looks like words of affirmation, deep breathing, breathing exercises, etc so that you can say “I did that” with a giant grin on your face. I am here for you, and am grateful for the opportunity to be invited into such a sacred space.

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.

Hi I am Maria, and I came to doula work after working in childcare for 8 years. After spending time with parents who had relatively no postpartum care or support, I soon started my training to bridge that gap. I believe that the postpartum period is one of the most crucial stages of pregnancy. Many parents experience feelings of loneliness, confusion, and exhaustion and it is Maria’s top priority to help parents feel their best during your fourth trimester. Maria believes that every family who wants a doula should have one. Promoting a judgement free zone, she happily works with families and individuals of any age, race, & gender. Instilling confidence and nurturing a new family is what makes Maria excited to go to work every day. Maria has been trained as an EMT, birth and postpartum doula, IBCLC.

When I'm not doula-ing, I enjoy reading, yoga, and spending time outside.
