Let’s talk about ways I can support you!
"The connection of spirit, mind, and body is so important throughout life and especially during pregnancy."
Hello, I am so happy you have found your way to The Original Ann Arbor Doulas! My name is Summer Dunn. I live in Chelsea, Michigan, and am a holistic birth doula and childbirth educator serving women throughout Central Michigan.
I have my Bachelors of Science in Biology from the University of South Florida, and spent a decade pursuing clinical medicine. While western medicine has a place in health care, there is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Knowing this, I help pregnant women take a deep inventory of their overall nutrition, relationship to movement, and take radical responsibility for their choices and pregnancy. I am a certified yoga instructor and avid practitioner. The connection of spirit, mind, and body is so important throughout life and especially during pregnancy. I offer private prenatal and postpartum yoga, breath work, and meditation sessions in addition to doula services.
My main goal as a doula is to help women feel alive and thriving in their bodies, deeply connected to their babies, and arrive at their births feeling empowered. I am an Uncovering Birth trained doula, and I truly believe the way we birth is the way we live. There are so many elements of life that impact the birth space and a woman’s experience. I am here to help women unpack fears, examine relationship energetics, boundaries, and move into a place of empowerment to achieve the best birth outcomes possible.
I have one son, and birthing and parenting him has been the most joyful journey of my life; but not without its challenges and incredible discoveries. I am excited to have many more children alongside a community of likeminded sisters, and share the knowledge I have gained along the way to make this experience more easeful for you. It is my greatest honor to guide women through the portal of maiden to motherhood. I can’t wait to connect with you!
