Michelle Mark (SBD)
I’m a Full Spectrum Doula, dedicated to providing compassionate, informed, and holistic support throughout the entire reproductive journey. I am honored to serve families during various stages, including preconception, pregnancy, labor, postpartum, loss, adoption & surrogacy.
My journey as a doula began before I knew what the role of a doula was as I’ve always had a servants heart. I started out as a postpartum doula and that will always be my first love as my mother is a survivor of postpartum depression, anxiety and psychosis. The experience left a lasting impact and strengthened the importance of support during the fourth trimester. Also Having an extensive childcare background and providing nanny care, I was called to mother the mother when pregnancies were announced with the families I worked for. I listened to where I was being lead and it was the best decision I ever made. Positively impacting communities and improving maternal care is what keeps my heart beating and soul eager to continue the vital work of being a doula. Serving various types of families, I understand that each individual's experience is unique and deeply personal. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where you feel empowered to make informed choices that align with your values and desires. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of the reproductive journey.
In my free time you’ll hear me talk about memories made with friends and family. I love hot yoga, food trucks, festivals, binge watching comfort series, live music and going plant shopping. I’m a fur mama to my basset baby, olive and Im a dedicated sister, auntie and safe space to everyone.
