Greetings! My name is Christine Scarlett. I am a former pediatric nurse and now a certified birth, sibling, and postpartum doula. I am also a Certified Perinatal Patient Advocate, a Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and Gift Registry Advocate. Perhaps my best credential is being the mother of seven adult children and grandmother of many. I have had one cesarean, six VBAC’s, and sadly, one miscarriage. My personal experiences run the gamut of hospital, home, and waterbirth. I have many years of breastfeeding experience and do volunteer work in that field. I homeschooled for many years and still teach in a co-op one morning per week. Other specialties include cloth diapering, babywearing, healthy cooking, and even just laundry services. Contact me for a free interview to see if I can help you meet your unique goals.

Christine was a great resource for me during my pregnancy. She gave me endless resources to help me prepare for a natural birth. When my water unexpectedly broke at 35 weeks, she answered the phone at midnight when we were on our way to the hospital and helped talk us through options and potential situations we might come across and made herself fully available. I ended up having an extremely fast labor before Chris got there (no fault of hers, I gave birth before the time we spoke about her coming) but Chris stayed with me extra time during postpartum care and when my baby had to go to the NICU. She went out and got my baby premie clothes and was continually following up until we were home and our baby got discharged. Even though our plans were very different from what we were expecting, Chris adjusted and helped us immensely! She is filled with so much knowledge of pregnancy, birth and postpartum care!

Hi! My name is Alyssa I am a birth doula and living in southeast Michigan. I have always loved babies, caring for my friends, and giving my all and helping whenever they are pregnant, postpartum, or simply raising their families. I have always enjoyed being able to offer acts of service and support to others, and becoming a doula has helped me embrace this love language in so many new ways I never knew possible. With becoming a doula, my goal is to help support new families and moms by emotionally and physically supporting them through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Advocating for them with knowledge, and helping them make thought out decisions when needed in labor. I want to help every mom take back their birth and make it an experience they love to talk about and remember. As said in Isaiah chapter 66, verse 13, “As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.” My goal as a doula is to hold the mother through every stage and be there for her and her family.

Alyssa was so supportive during my pregnancy and is still holding me up through post-partum and the newborn trenches. I was so thankful for her continued support during my labor when midwife and nurse shifts would change, she was a constant. I don’t think that my labor experience would have been as positive or would have gone as smoothly without Alyssa there to support me and my husband. I feel so appreciative of her support through this time in my life and I can honestly say that I gained a friend. 11/10 would recommend Alyssa to be your doula.

Hi everyone! After I became a mom, I realized how much more I wish I had known. I looked back at all sorts of decisions I made in the birth process that affected my experience. My passion now is to enter the journey with others and make sure they have the information and resources that they need to confidently make decisions for themselves. Birth is also a very vulnerable and major transition in life for both the birther and the partner. My role is to provide reassurance and emotional support to both! Helping you create a plan to come as close to your desired birth experience as possible is also on my list of to do’s. You may know what you want it to feel like but you’re not sure how to achieve that. I’m here to help! Whether you’re having a c-section, a med-free birth, a birth with pain medications, a home birth or a hospital birth, I’m happy to support those decisions and make it the best experience possible. I see myself as a gap-filler. What ever seems to be missing for you (physical, emotional, or informational support), I’m there to fill it in.

Stephanie is a Godsend! Stephanie's warm and loving presence always made us feel comfortable and well-informed during our birth journey. Stephanie cried with us in our lowest moments and celebrated beside us in our highest. Anyone who chooses Stephanie as a Doula will have a close friend, a Mother, a sister, and a knowledgeable advocate.

I have nothing but great things to say about Debra! I was her client during 2024, and had my son in November 2024. I never hired a doula with my oldest so the process was as new to me and I wasn't sure what to expect, but Debra met me where I was at and guided me through the process so it was effortless. She was always available either by text or call and always checked in on me and made sure that I had any information and support I may need! I'm not in contact with my mother so Debra, being and mother and grandmother herself brought the motherly vibes which looking back is something I personally preferred Vs having a doula around my age. She actively listened to my preferences surrounding my birth experience and when the time came she was both respectful and thoughtful of my wishes. She advocated for things I didn't want in the delivery room for me while I was deep in labor. If you want a kind, caring, compassionate, reliable, and loving doula please don't think twice about hiring Debra you will not regret it!

Recent doula reviews near Toledo

Aris is an absolutely incredible doula. I recently gave birth to my first child and can honestly say that having Aris at my birth made what would have otherwise been a pretty traumatic experience, a very calm and empowering one. My birth plan had to pretty much go out the window due to unpredictable events during labor, and Aris was with me every step of the way, helping me feel like I was still in control when everything seemed like it was crumbling. She helped me reframe things in ways that my brain could understand at the time, and for that I am so grateful! She also advocated for me at multiple points to keep whatever aspects of my birth plan could still be safely implemented. She constantly anticipated my needs during the labor process and never once seemed tired despite staying up with us all throughout the night. She was also amazing at physically supporting me during labor with various counter-pressure and distracting sensation techniques. She taught my husband what to do as well, but honestly she was 1000x better at it and was so much stronger than him lol! My husband and I are both physicians who are relatively educated about the birth process, but she is truly a labor and delivery expert and taught us so much. Her experience as a labor and delivery nurse as well as a mother of five children makes her extremely qualified for this role. I cannot think of anyone I would recommend more if you are looking for a doula. If you are considering having a doula support you during your pregnancy/birth/postpartum, choose Aris -- you won't regret it! It was truly the best decision we made for my birth.

— Jess Cummings, review of Aris Ervin July 2026

I cannot recommend my doula enough! She was by my side through not one, but two induction experiences, and I truly don't know what I would have done without her. During my first induction, it became clear that my body simply wasn't ready. She helped me understand all of my options so I could make informed decisions without ever feeling pressured. With her support, I ultimately chose to leave the hospital and trust my body to do its thing, and I will always be grateful for how empowered and confident she made me feel. When I was induced again for the birth of our baby, she was there every step of the way. Through every contraction, she used massage and counter-pressure, guided me with Christian HypnoBirthing affirmations, and brought such a calm, peaceful presence into the room. When I became overwhelmed during my epidural, she held me as I cried and helped me through one of the hardest moments of labor. She wasn't just an incredible support for me—she was amazing for my entire family. She anticipated our needs, encouraged us every step of the way, and made us all feel supported and cared for throughout the entire birth experience. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, faith-filled, and truly passionate about helping families. If you're on the fence about hiring a doula, this is your sign. She helped make my birth experience empowering, peaceful, and unforgettable, and I truly could not have done it without her.

— Grace LaForest, review of Aris Ervin July 2026

I really can't put into words how amazing Aris was. She was very hands on, made sure my needs and wants were met. She was my voice when I could speak for myself. My peace in a room full of chaos while giving birth to my first baby. I highly recommend!!
