Are you looking for extra support during pregnancy or birth? Do you have questions about labor, birth, or what to expect? Have you considered working with a doula?

A doula is a trained support professional who guides, assists, and coaches you through pregnancy, labor, and beyond. And the best part…doulas are more accessible than ever thanks to many online directories and community-based programs.

Explore your options and find the support that feels right for you!

We’re excited to announce that inquiries are now open for our 2026 Postpartum Doula Training!

Are you interested in supporting families and strengthening our community?

We’re seeking dedicated individuals who:

• Identify as Black or Indigenous

• Are 18+ with a high school diploma

• Live in Ingham, Eaton, or Clinton Counties

If this sounds like you, fill out the inquiry form in our bio. Once applications open, we’ll send them straight to you!

Black history is community care, collective power, and showing up for one another. We honor the Black leaders, healers, and birthworkers who continue to shape our future. 🖤✨

Meeting at the Black Mothers Breastfeeding Association Conference in September was an absolute pleasure! Her thoughtful, inclusive designs truly stand out, it's clear she's passionate about storytelling. These postcards have been a hit at doula training, so take a moment to check out and support ! 💚🤎

It's disheartening to see our Black birthing people and mothers face this. That's why our advocacy is crucial and showing up for your community counts! Doulas, your role is vital! YOUR WORK MATTERS!!!

Considering a career as a doula? We're looking for passionate individuals to become postpartum doulas! In this role, you'll provide vital support to new parents after birth. Develop your skills through our training and mentoring program with the Ingham County Health Department. Link to apply in bio! Don't miss out - applications close 10/24.
