Meet The Doulas
We're Carrie and Hannah, a Doula team serving the Grand Rapids and West Michigan area. We created this partnership because we decided that two Doulas are better than one! Our partnership combines our knowledge & passion for birth and our resources to give clients the best care possible. When you hire us you will be getting a team of heartfelt, professional doulas who deeply care about your birth & postpartum experience.
Meet Carrie
I believe that a birth experience should be as special and unique as each one of my clients is. As your doula, it’s my mission that you are thoroughly educated and supported to birth YOUR way without fear or prejudice... to trust your intuition, realize your strength, determination, and beauty. It's truly an honor to be selected to walk with you throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey and to be a part of such a special time in your life.
Most would say I’m an extroverted introvert, and a bit of a day-dreamer with a love for nature, days at the lake, music, devotions, good conversation and iced coffee. When I'm not at a birth, my hands and heart are full with my three kiddos, dog and husband.

Meet Hannah
As a DONA certified doula and a Lactation Counselor, Hannah's goal is to provide you with evidence and support that in turn causes you to trust your intuition and birth in a manner that is fit entirely for you–whether that is an unmedicated home birth or a scheduled cesarean birth. Birth is birth, and it is truly remarkable.
Hannah's a bit of an extrovert and gains so much energy being around others and in the community. To recharge, she takes solace cooking and singing in the kitchen AlONE, haha. I love Jesus and believe the church is all around us...but mainly in the woods.
Hannah is the owner of Steady Ground Doula Services and a Certified Lactation Counselor.

Meet Ashley
I'm a West Michigan mom of four who married her high school sweetheart and runs on chocolate & peanut butter. As a health educator by degree, my desire to support & champion others flourishes every time I hear a birth story. This fascination I have for all things pregnancy, birth & postpartum that led me to become a doula stem from my own experience advocating for my birth wishes and learning to trust my intuition.

Meet Meghon
I'm a mom of two little ones under four, and my passion for supporting families in the postpartum period began after my first daughter was born. That journey inspired me to train as a postpartum doula with DONA, just before welcoming my second baby!
After experiencing a home birth after cesarean, my love for birth work deepened. I became even more committed to supporting families through every stage of their journey—pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
As a doula, my goal is to empower you to feel confident and excited about the choices you get to make during this transformative season. I’m here to help you navigate the emotional, physical, and even spiritual changes that come with pregnancy and birth, creating space for growth, connection, and joy along the way.
