Our Doula Team

METRO DETROIT BIRTH, POSTPARTUM & NEWBORN CARE SPECIALIST AGENCY

Each doula is trained and then certified with a top doula training organization. They are all insured and have CPR training.

We match potential clients with 1 or 2 doulas to interview and choose the right fit for their family. Clients typically get a primary doula and a backup doula, depending on how many hours chosen. You will have the opportunity to interview, virtually, with your doula before you select the one for you.

Jessie

Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist

More about Jessie

Hi, I am Jessie and I am an experienced, non-judgmental doula who wants to make your postpartum journey something you will always look back on with fond memories.

My passion for postpartum work is the result of going through my own traumatic birth and postpartum experiences. Despite being surrounded by a wonderful partner and fantastic family, I felt overwhelmed and unhappy after the birth of both of my daughters (born just 17 months apart). I found myself having a hard time asking for help, partly because I was in such a fog I didn’t know what I needed.

As I emerged from this postpartum fog, it was crystal clear to me that my purpose in life is to help others through it. With a bachelor's degree in Hospitality Business from Michigan State University, I pride myself on being able to anticipate the needs of others before needing to be asked.

While the end result of finally holding my baby in my arms was everything I had hoped for, the experience of labor & delivery as well as emotions postpartum, were far less than ideal. My experience grew into me wanting to be that calming support for other families during labor, delivery & postpartum. I want to make sure you are fully prepared for the incredible experience of birth, as well as help you and your family care for your new little blessing.

Postpartum Doula

More about Kait

I pursued a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula certification because I have such a heart for those navigating the postpartum period and saw a great need for both emotional and physical support during this critical time. I kept encountering the societal expectation that new parents must muddle through this exciting, but admittedly challenging, time of transition alone. It broke my heart to see new parents getting lost in the sometimes-overwhelming responsibility of caring for an infant without a community of support. I cherish the opportunity to come alongside you during this transformative journey into parenthood, to celebrate each accomplishment but also to empower you during the more difficult moments. I would be honored to provide your family the support needed so you are able to thrive during this precious time with your new baby.
