You don't need someone to tell you how to give birth. You need someone who will listen, help you understand your options, and stay in your corner.

Birth Support That Centers You

Birth doesn't follow a script -- and neither should your support.

Whether you're planning a hospital birth, home birth, epidural, unmedicated birth, induction or cesarean, I’ll help you understand your options, prepare for what matters most to you, and feel confident navigating the unexpected.

My job isn't to tell you how to give birth. It's to make sure you don't have to figure it all out alone.

I'll support you with evidence-informed information, hands-on comfort measures, emotional reassurance, and a steady presence throughout your pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum experience.

Hi, I'm Alysha.

I'm the doula behind Amaryllis Doula Services.

I became a doula because I believe people deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported during one of the biggest experiences of their lives.

I'm not here to be a savior, and I'm not here to tell you what your birth should look like.

I'm here to stand beside you.

That might mean helping you prepare for the birth you're hoping for. It might mean helping you find your voice when plans change, reminding you to breathe, helping your partner know what to do, or simply being the calm person in the room when everything feels overwhelming.

You remain the decision-maker. I'm here to help you feel confident in those decisions.

Experienced, Prepared & Continually Learning

I’m a DONA-certified birth doula with additional training, certifications, and experience that allow me to support a wide range of families and birth experiences, including:

Body Ready Method®

Birth and labor support

Bereavement support

NICU support

TENS use for labor

Inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming care

Military family support

I've also supported families through births in hospitals, birth centers, and home settings throughout West Michigan.

Your Insurance May Cover Your Doula

Medicaid Covers Doula Care in Michigan

If you have Michigan Medicaid, your doula services are covered. There are no copays, deductibles, or prior authorizations required for covered doula services.

The important question is whether your doula is credentialed with your Medicaid health plan.

I’m credentialed with multiple Michigan Medicaid health plans, so if you’re considering working with me, I can help you determine whether I’m in-network with your specific plan.
