Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in East Lansing, MI

Hey badass birthing warrior! I'm a mom of two tiny humans, a certified Birth Doula, Birth Photographer and Childbirth Educator serving expectant families throughout Southeast Michigan. I usually serve within an hour of Jackson, MI. I got my start in birth work by being a wedding and family photographer first. Then on Pinterest, I found birth photography photos and I thought it was beautiful. So I got into birth photography and was hooked. Then after I had my first kid, I took a birth doula training and realized that this was my calling. Not everyone has an empowering birth story and I want to help change the cultural attitude around birth by making them excited, (It's okay to be a little nervous!), confident and prepared for birth. Birth is a transformational experience for both the birthing person and their partner.

I bring 10 years of heartfelt service to families in a variety of setting to my role as your birth and postpartum doula. I am certified in birth and postpartum doula work and have attended numerous births and postpartum periods.

As a doula, my goal is to support you physically and emotionally, advocate for you and your choices, answer your questions, and help provide you a positive, unbiased/non-judgmental birth experience. I have been attending births and supporting women through childbearing for over 25 years. I look forward to working with you!

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.
