Find a Doula in Michigan

The doulas listed here are all self-employed and have designed their own service packages and set their own fees. You are encouraged to contact individual doulas to determine who will best be able to meet your unique needs. When a business name is listed instead of an individual, you will typically find two or more doulas working in a partnership or doula collective. The locations listed are to give you a general idea, however, many doulas travel up to one hour to serve clients so don’t be afraid to reach out. To learn more about doulas and tips for hiring a doula, check our All About Doulas: A Consumer’s Guide.

All service providers listed are independent from Center for the Childbearing Year. Featured listings are paid ads and those are listed first. Inclusion of a doula practice on this list is NOT an endorsement of any one individual or group by the Center. You are encouraged to investigate individuals further by checking references and credentials.
