We have 5 doulas in the guide for Ann Arbor families: 2 with an office in Ann Arbor and 3 that list Ann Arbor in the area they serve. 1 more is a short drive away in Ypsilanti. 4 of them are locally owned: Michigan Family Doulas, Baby, Bump & Beyond (Elaine Schweitzer), Sacred Roots (Katy Gladwin) and Doula Cindy (Cindy Evans). Open a few and compare. Details change, so a quick call before you book is always worth it.

How we chose these: every listing is checked against the provider’s own published information, and the order is based on things we can verify, such as credentials, scope of care and published quality recognition. Star ratings never set the order. Listings marked Jasmine’s Pick are businesses our studio knows and recommends, and they are shown first. We are a photography studio, not medical advisors, so treat this as a starting point for your own calls. More about our method
