YOUR HOLISTIC, CHRISTIAN BIRTH & POSTPARTUM DOULA

SERVING GRAND RAPIDS / WEST MICHIGAN

Hi, I’m Heidi, your doula!

I embrace a holistic approach to equipping, preparing, & supporting you through pregnancy and birth and into a restful, bond-building postpartum period. My passion is for serving women planning natural births; honoring the physiological process for labor and birth that God has designed.

Learning to trust and listen to your body and its God given intuition & design can truly transform your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience— some of the most important moments of your life.

Birth & postpartum are raw, vulnerable, and beautiful. You deserve the necessary support to smoothly transition into motherhood or welcoming another baby into your family! It is a true honor to be invited into some of life’s most sacred moments.

NICE TO MEET YOU!

I have always been a birth nerd! I grew up always gravitating towards younger children and babies, and I always knew I wanted to be a mother. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, I dove into researching. I listened to countless podcasts & books. I thought I was prepared and knew all there was to know— but my labor, birth, and postpartum experiences still surprised me in many ways.

This is where my passion for serving mamas blossomed from! I saw the deep importance of having an experienced supporter through those tender moments. Through my own experience and the experiences of others that I have been able to witness, I have a much deeper understanding of true physiological birth and all of the details that play a role in birth stories. My philosophy around birth stems from my beliefs that the God who created all things, including birth, did so without fault. That birth is not a medical event, but rather a transformative experience that can be truly beautiful if left undisturbed.

I’m west Michigan born & raised. I’m married to my best friend and we have a 3 year old daughter who we adore!

In addition to constantly learning more about all things birth related, I enjoy reading, being crafty, lifting weights, thrifting, & baking. I’m passionate about my relationships, my faith & beliefs, and clean living— you might even call me “crunchy”!
