I Googled "postpartum doula near me" at 4:00 am after 2.5 weeks at home with our newborn. We were…read moreexhausted and overwhelmed, unsure if we were doing things right. We had never met Charissa before, but in meeting with her over Zoom we felt she was just what we needed. She was kind enough to provide us references before we handed our daughter to a stranger--all of whom could not say enough nice things about her. We came to know everything they said was true: Charissa is so kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful! It was clear that she truly cared about our baby, my husband, and me. Not only did she help with many household tasks and look after our baby so we could sleep or do other things, but she also taught us a lot, both directly and through just getting to watch her with our girl. We are so grateful and look forward to staying in touch!

I was completely and utterly terrified to give birth, but I was pregnant, so it needed to be done…read more A friend recommended Birth Kalamazoo, and I'm so glad she did. At first, I didn't think I needed a doula because I wanted a hospital birth with a doctor and ALL the pain meds they could give me. But after talking to some friends and exchanging emails with Jessica, the owner, I realized that a doula could still support me despite the fact that I wasn't planning on a natural birth with a midwife. After I reached out to request a doula, Jessica set up an appointment for me and my husband to meet one. She made it clear that this was to see if we would be a good fit, and it was totally acceptable to decide we weren't. And that was great because while I'm sure she was totally competent, we didn't feel comfortable with her. When I relayed this to Jessica with some reasons why, she said it wasn't a problem and set up a meeting with a different doula. This is when we met Teresa, and she was wonderful. After we officially hired Teresa, in addition to the first casual meeting, we had two meetings to discuss what I was looking for, draft a general birth plan, and answer any questions I had. I had tons. When it all went down, Teresa was a calming presence. My husband and I had never been through any of it before, so having an expert there, advocating for us and helping us through was tremendously helpful. Teresa also did a follow up appointment and provided us with a timeline of what happened when--it was great because everything was a blur for us.
