Hello! My name is Marissa Booth, and I'm a DONA International trained doula dedicated to supporting mothers as they bring their little ones into the world. The miracle of life is so incredible, and I'm happy to be there for you during this journey.
My call to become a doula began two years ago when my son was born. Despite having a well-thought-out birth plan aimed at a natural birth with minimal interventions, due to some complications, an emergency c-section was suggested. Thankfully, my doula's advocacy made all the difference during that critical time. She was able to calm me down, communicate my desire to try pushing, and guide me through giving birth naturally. This experience encouraged me to help other women, whether they are first-time mothers or have experienced traumatic births in the past. I want to be there for you!
Let’s talk about ways I can support you!
"This experience encouraged me to help other women...I want to be there for you!"
Just a few months after my son was born, a friend who had a challenging first birth asked me to be her doula for her second child. That incredible experience helped me realize this is what God has called me to do. Since then, I've had the honor of helping several mothers. I am also a proud member of the Christian Doulas of Michigan.
I am homeopathic based and have training with essential oils. I am also experienced with hypnobirthing and can help with breastfeeding support.
A little about me: I live on the outskirts of Ann Arbor with my husband and son. I love yoga and would like to work towards being certificated in prenatal yoga.
I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you!
