Our
Story
Birth Doulas of Michiana was founded in response to a concern over the rate of doula burnout and the need to guarantee continuous support to a larger number of local clients.
We realize that one doula cannot do it all, and great strength, growth, and support comes when we join together rather than going it alone!
Choosing Birth Doulas of Michiana ensures that you will receive a high level continuity of care from a team of highly experienced, compassionate doulas. You will never be stuck with a doula who is overly exhausted or "needs to leave." You don't have to worry about a doula not being available to support you.
We support one another so we can support you more fully! Join us an an upcoming "Meet the Doula" event to learn more!
No woman should be left alone in her time of need! We are here to ensure you have the support you long for!

Our clients hire us individually and we provide continuous prenatal support, but we share an on-call schedule for supporting our clients in labor and birth.
Our passion is to empower women to optimally prepare for a positive birth experience through education and continuous support. We assist our clients in discovering and embracing their inner strength and confident beauty throughout their birth experience. We respect each client and birth experience as unique and individual and will tailor our care to meet the needs and desires at hand.
As a doula partnership, we maintain our independent entities but provide a collaborative support network of birth doulas to be present through your labor process.

We request that all of our clients attend an approved childbirth education class so that you are optimally prepared to navigate the labor process.
