More Than a Month: Michigan Family Doulas’ Heart for Infertility Awareness

June is Infertility Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on the struggles, triumphs, and complex emotions that can surround the journey to parenthood. Infertility is far more than a statistic or a medical diagnosis; it’s a deeply personal experience that touches every aspect of a person’s life. This month, we want to reaffirm our commitment to supporting families through all paths to parenthood. Today though, we want to love on those who have navigated the often-challenging path of infertility.

We understand that the traditional path to conception isn’t always a reality. That is precisely where our experience and compassionate care shine!
