Certified Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula

I'm Michaela (she/her), a certified birth doula and postpartum doula. I found my calling as a doula after the transformative experience of giving birth to my daughter in 2021. I completed my full spectrum doula training with Doula Trainings International and left a fifteen-year career in biotechnology and venture capital investor relations to establish Poppy Birth.

I believe everyone has the right to an empowered and positive birth. I uphold informed decision-making, choice, and the celebration of individual journeys. Every birth is unique. There is no "right way" to have your baby. As your doula, I am here to help you understand your options, envision your ideal birth, and have a positive birth experience through compassionate, evidence-based, hands-on support.​
