About Me
I’m Jill, and in many ways, I feel I’ve been a doula my entire life. My journey began at five years old when my mother opened an in home daycare. Surrounded by babies and young children, I developed an early love for nurturing others—a passion that grew as I started babysitting at eight years old (it was the 80’s!). Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many friends family members through their births and postpartum periods, and then experienced the profound transformation of my own three births.
Through these experiences, I became captivated by the physiological beauty of birth—the incredible power women exhibit and the awe-inspiring moment that a baby enters the world. Caregiving has always come naturally to me, and now, with my own children grown, I am able to fully commit to serving women and families in my community during one of life’s most meaningful transitions.
With more than 25 years of hands-on experience and a deep passion for birth and postpartum care, Doula Born provides compassionate, evidence-informed support for expectant parents in SE Michigan.
