Hello there! My name is Gabriayle Stapf, owner of Five and Mine Doula Care LLC. I am a mother of four beautiful children with a passion to help others have the birth and postpartum experience they desire! I know that help can be expensive and I try my best to keep my prices low so that everyone can afford the support and care that everyone should have during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Birth can be scary and postpartum can be lonely and we all need a village. I cannot wait to be your village!

Hello! I am a student postpartum doula near South Haven, with a special interest in maternal mental health. I strongly believe in the sacredness of the postpartum period and have seen firsthand how an additional support person can benefit a family during this special time. Because I am still working towards certification, my rates are adjusted accordingly.

Hi, I’m Jamara — a proud mom of two and a passionate doula who believes every woman deserves to be supported, seen, and empowered during her journey into motherhood. Becoming a mother myself opened my eyes to the emotional, physical, and spiritual strength that birth requires — and the importance of having someone present solely for you. That experience grounded my purpose: to advocate, care, and stand beside women during one of the most sacred transitions of their lives. To me, this is more than a service — it’s heart-filled, purpose-driven work. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where mothers feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Whether it’s offering comfort, guidance, or simply being a steady presence, I am here to advocate for your voice and your birth experience. Your birth. Your story. Your strength. I’m honored to walk this journey with you

My name is Claire and I am starting my doula journey. I feel that I have been called to support women during pregnancy and postpartum. I'm outgoing, supportive of your choices as a mother, and a great listener. I am skilled at de-escalating situations in which you may feel panicked or afraid, and explain things in simple terms so that they aren't overwhelming. I will advocate for you in whatever situation you need, whether with a high-pressure medical provider or your nosy mother-in-law. I have worked with children 5 to 18 years old who have mental, physical, and emotional handicaps as well as a multitude of students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Working with these students has brought me so much joy and understanding of a world that can be very hard to explain to those with no experience in it. Whether it is you, your children, or loved ones who identify with the previous disorders, I would be beyond honored and ecstatic to help work through the crazy mystery and miracle of birth. I am currently going through the certification process to be a doula and need to attend three births to be fully certified. I am looking to help anyone I can in this process.

Maker Maternal Health seeks to provide a comprehensive approach to redeeming the birth experience. Our team of doulas serves Southwest Michigan and collectively equips clients with evidence-based information. We advocate for the birthing mother to make informed decisions through the use of varied practices to aid in trusting her body and ultimately reducing her fears. We envision changing the negative narrative of birth in a distinctly different way: combining the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of maternity support.

Hi, I’m Jaynie!

My job is to nurture and care for the newborn, the birth parent, and the entire family. As your Newborn Care Specialist, I’ll establish safe and comforting sleep practices, help you develop an easy-to-maintain daily and nightly schedule and routine, and create a system to track feedings, diaper changes, and sleep.

Hi! I'm a Birth Doula and a Pediatric Sleep Consultant in Lansing, MI. The root for my interest in supporting women during birth started years ago when a neighbor told me the story of her natural birth (with a doula!). It planted a seed of fascination that eventually led to me certifying as a doula and becoming a student midwife. I love birth, and I support all kinds of births as a doula. I believe having extra support prenatally and during birth is 100% worth it. And as a sleep consultant, I help babies, toddlers, and families get better rest so they can be happier people during waking hours.

Hi I’m Abigail! From educating you on safe sleep, car seat safety, fed and sleep schedules to helping out with household chores I’m here for you. As a Postpartum doula my goal is to make your life and adjusting to parenthood/another little one as easy as possible!
