Allison Gonzalez Doula Services
My goal in providing doula services is to support women and families in the West Michigan area during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I believe that your birth story matters. Research has shown that parents remember their birth stories for their whole lives, even down to the smallest detail. Let me help you prepare for it. I work with families out of an evidence-based approach to provide education, support, and encouragement throughout the childbearing year. You have choices and with my experience and education, I can help you create your ideal birth plan.
Providing birth & postpartum doula services with evidence-based care to West Michigan areas; including, Plainwell, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids. Please reach out to see if your area is within range.
