Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Ypsilanti, MI

Peace! My name is Shekita. I am a CAAPA-trained, Community-Based Birth Doula registered with the State of Michigan’s Doula Initiative. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing that birth is both a transformative rite of passage and, at times, a deeply complex or even traumatic experience—even when everything goes according to plan. I see birth as crossing a threshold between worlds to welcome new life. My role is to walk alongside you as a steady, compassionate guide—moving at your pace, holding space for your emotions, and offering support for both the physical and emotional layers of your journey. In addition to labor and birth support, I specialize in: • Advocacy in hospital settings to help you feel seen, heard, and respected. • Breastfeeding and chestfeeding support to set you and your baby up for a nourishing start. • Community-based resources and postpartum care to help your family feel held beyond the birth itself. Beyond birthwork, I’m a proud plant-based mama of three. I love cooking, exploring the beauty of Detroit and the outdoors, and treasure-hunting while thrifting.

As a dedicated and supportive mother, my goal is to help you take a step back and truly take hold of each moment of your labor. I believe in empowering you to make the choices that feel right for you as your birth journey unfolds. Your birth story should be a beautiful reflection of your experience and the role you play. I live by a simple yet profound motto: “The mother deserves to be cherished and celebrated, the baby deserves to be embraced and revered, and the space around them is sacred and should be honored.” Together, let's create an atmosphere that nurtures all of this. I am a birth doula who equally specializes in all birth outcomes. I delivered my son who was incompatible with life and it opened my eyes to the need of bereavement doulas as well as birth doulas. Hold and honor your babies.

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’m so thankful you’re here. My name is Kara, and I’m a prenatal, birth, and postpartum doula who views this work as a sacred calling—an opportunity to walk alongside families as they enter one of life’s most sacred seasons.

Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I will walk with you in love, prayer, and steady encouragement, gently reminding you that you are never alone. I strive to create a peaceful, prayerful space where you feel supported, confident, and reminded that God is present in every contraction, every breath, and every moment of your journey.

From a young age, I have always found joy in caring for younger children and babies.

I strive to cultivate positive and empowering experiences for all families. With over 16 years of experience in administration, early childhood education, and pediatric healthcare, caring for others is truly my specialty.
