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. Each birth is unique. You are the expert of your body, your birth and your baby. My role as a doula is to walk with you in your journey using my expertise and providing evidence based research along the way.
My call to become a doula began three years ago when my son was born. Despite having a well-thought-out birth plan aimed at a natural birth with minimal interventions some complications arose. Thankfully, with my doula's support during this critical time I was able to avoid a C-section. She was able to calm me down, guide me through pushing, and support me to give 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!"
A few months after my birth, a friend who had a challenging birth asked me to be her doula for her second child. From this incredible experience I knew this is what God called me to do. I have been helping mothers since. I am also a proud member of the Christian Doulas of Michigan.
A little about me: I live on the outskirts of Ann Arbor with my husband and son. I love yoga and would like to one day get certificated in prenatal yoga! I am homeopathic based, and have training with essential oils. I am also experienced with hypnobirthing. I can help with breastfeeding support too!
I look forward to working with you!
