So excited to be able to support clients in the OR at Butterworth now!

OR support has been requested for so many years, I'm glad that women won't have to fight for it (at Butterworth) anymore. Though if you do want OR support somewhere else, I can help advocate for that for you sometimes we're successful!

Last night was wonderful! The speakers were great and able to answer lots of questions. Counting babies there were over 70 in attendance.
Thank you to Amanda and Samantha for being willing to speak and share knowledge on the Pelvic Floor and breastfeeding.
Thanks to Amaryllis Doula Services and &A Sunrise Farms for sponsoring the evening. Heavenflow Coffee Co. for the coffee and all the vendors, like Smart Nutrition, who came and shared their businesses and knowledge.

Looking for health and wellness businesses/services that serve women in the childbearing season (whole families as well, but need to also serve that population specifically) who would like to have a booth at the Birth and Beyond Expo on Novmber 11th at the Fremont Rec Center South Commons. This is the 5th year of the event, and besides having the expo/vendor booths, there are breakout sessions on a variety of topics applicable to women who are trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum. Previous years speakers and topics have included Samantha Kauffman a local RN, IBCLC and oral rehabilitation expert- about helping babies after they have had oral ties released, Dr Mailloux of Mailloux Dentistry, an airway specialist- on symptoms and health issues that may be realated to oral ties, a fertility coach, Jules Carpenter of Your Health Your Healing with Jules , and more. One year we also had a panel of homebirth midwives and hopsital providers from Corewell Ge**er who answered questions from the audience on a variety of topics.

If your business is interested in having a booth, or you have questions, please PM me for more information.

Big Rapids area Moms, Tina does a great job with these breastfeeding meetups. It is so fun getting to meet other local moms with babies of similar ages and you get lactation support too!

Watching siblings meet is the absolute best. Their curiousity and joy is infectious.
I was able to attend this beautiful homebirth last week and seeing the concern and care these boys had for their momma was so touching. They were so excited when labor was finally over and they could meet their new baby.

Looking over the calendar, I have space for two more November clients and then the calendar is closed for the year. Let me know if you would like to sit down and chat about having personalized support during your pregnancy and delivery!

Hi there! It's been a while since I've shown my face, so I figured I should reintroduce myself.
I'm Rebekah the owner of New Life Doula Services.
I got into this beautiful work after I had a midwife friend step in to be my doula as I attempted, and achieved, a VBAC. Having her support for myself and my husband was invaluable and I wanted to be able to allow other women to have that as well. I attended training through DONA International.
I have used that training and some from many other classes over the last eleven years to offer support during pregnancy, labor, and the first weeks postpartum to many women both locally and hours away.
I support medicated births as well as unmedicated, home and hospital births, cesareans and vaginal births.
I do believe inductions are over prescribed and can harm women more than help them.
I believe that our culture has to relearn the depths of a mother's strength and one of the first places you see it is as she travels through the mountains and valleys of labor.
I believe that YOU choose what happens at the birth of your child, not your care provider, your spouse, or your mother.
I believe that you are strong enough to have the unmedicated birth you want.
I believe that being loud does not equal being in pain.
I believe that you can breastfeed your baby.

If you are looking for support throughout your pregnancy and delivery, feel free to reach out. I would love to set up a time to chat with you!
