With an innate passion for babies and their families, Danielle has an insightful and peaceful presence as a postpartum doula. Her compassion and understanding grew for the postpartum period after having her own set of Irish twins. Two little boys, resulting from back to back pregnancies a little over 7 years ago, gave her the wonderful experience of parenting that she wanted to share. Many of her friends called on her for advice and emotional support through their own pregnancies and postpartum times. ​ Knowing this life-changing time in a person's life should not be spent alone, and believing she could help, Danielle followed her goals and became officially certified in 2023. Completing ProDoula’s program has given her the confidence and ability to help all those in the postpartum stage of life. Although her degree in elementary education isn’t front and center anymore, all the years in child development and classroom management have given her even more tools to become a successful doula. ​ Danielle has been a doula to many clients, friends and family members. She realizes her unbiased strengths in this field are worthy of a true career and cannot wait to meet and guide new families through this time.

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 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.

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!

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.

When it comes to the birth space, my goal is to support you in any of your choices, even if they change. I focus on inclusivity (I work towards anti-racism, anti-transphobia, anti-fatphobia, and disability visibility). I am an advocate and guardian in the birth space. I have a lot of passions and interests and have books on everything from rain, moss, clouds, pregnancy, birth, parenting, and death. when I am your Doula, I’m your friend. Not only do I provide comfort and knowledge, but I’m also here for you to confide in, talk things through, and laugh with! Sometimes I’m witchy, sometimes I’m crunchy, sometimes I’m basic, sometimes I’m punky. That’s me!

Recent review

Desiree turned what could have been a traumatic pregnancy and birth experience into an experience where I was well informed, prepared and put at ease. I had a high risk pregnancy and was told at only 20 weeks that I would give birth prematurely. Desiree was always available when I called her with news from the doctor and not only did she remain calm at all times, but she gave me great advice which ultimately taught me how to advocate for myself and my child. I would highly recommend her doula services!

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❤️

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.
