Welcome! I am a DONA certified Birth & Postpartum Doula and Child Birth Educator for Emmet, Otsego and Charlevoix Counties . I offer services such as emotional, physical and spiritual support to  birthing parents and families during childbirth and postpartum period. My goal is to help you establish a birth plan that will provide a nurturing, caring, supportive environment for you during the amazing life-event of childbirth.
