DOULAS
An active list of Independent Doulas serving Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan
This list is not fully comprehensive, as there are some doulas I do not know, or who have specifically asked to be removed from the directory -if you are an independent doula (no agency listings) and would like to be added, please email me at shellyvarelli@gmail.com.
I hope this list is helpful in your search for the right Doula for you!
I encourage you to look at any FB, IG, or website pages offered to see who is actively engaged in their business, ask about their experiences, and find someone who aligns with your values and preferences.
