✨ The Best Gift for Growing Families ✨

If you’re searching for a meaningful, unforgettable gift for a family preparing to welcome new life into the world… this is it. 💛

Birth and postpartum doula support is a gift that goes far beyond the moment — it provides comfort, confidence, guidance, and continuous care during one of the most transformative times in a family’s life. From emotional support and hands-on help to education and advocacy, a doula becomes a steady presence every step of the way.

And the best part? You can gift this support.
Our Birth & Postpartum Doula Gift Certificates are now available and make the perfect present for:

🎁 Baby showers
🎁 Holidays
🎁 Expectant parents
🎁 Families welcoming another little one
🎁 Anyone who deserves extra care during this journey

Your gift will truly keep giving — offering reassurance during labor, grounding during the unknown, and support in the early days of postpartum that families remember forever.

If you’d like to give a gift that makes a lifelong impact, message us for details. We’d love to help you support a family in the most meaningful way possible. 🤍✨

✨ When Collaboration Becomes Magic ✨

Positive outcomes don’t happen by accident — they happen when professionals come together, build trust, and support families with open hearts. Last night, we were reminded just how powerful that collaboration can be.

We received a late call from a Munson employee asking if we could support a momma who was headed into a C-section alone. What an honor it was to show up for her. 💛

In just a short window of time, we were able to create a circle of support alongside an incredible team —
• A compassionate professional who made the initial call
• An OB with an open mind and a bubbly, welcoming personality
• An anesthesiologist willing to adjust from his usual routine
Together, we built trust quickly with this momma and supported her from the moment she walked into the hospital until her family arrived to meet their newest addition.

This experience was such a reminder that continuous doula support truly matters — and it was beautiful to have a medical team see, firsthand, the impact it can have in moments like these.

Thank you, Munson Traverse City, for the opportunity to serve, to collaborate, and to continue building positive relationships that lead to better outcomes for all families. 💛

And thank you to every medical professional who has opened their arms to us and embraced the value of working together. It is truly an honor to support each family we meet.

🌿 Let’s talk about true, evidence-based informed consent.

Informed consent isn’t just a signature on a form — it’s a conversation, an understanding, and a right.

It means every person deserves to receive clear, honest, and evidence-based information about their care — including the risks, benefits, and alternatives of every option (and yes, even the choice to decline).

True informed consent honors the birthing person as the ultimate decision-maker in their care. It means slowing down enough to ensure understanding, respecting every question, and supporting every decision made from a place of knowledge — not pressure or fear.

And here’s the important part:
🩺 Both medical and non-medical professionals are responsible for upholding informed consent.
Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, midwife, doula, or support person — we all share the responsibility of protecting autonomy and promoting evidence-based, respectful care.

At Delicate Doula Services, we believe that informed consent is the foundation of trust. It’s how we empower families to move through birth feeling confident, supported, and in control of their own story. 💜

One of our amazing co-founders, Diane, is known for the gentle, grounded way she supports families — meeting them right where they are with compassion, knowledge, and care every step of the way. 💕

She still has openings for due dates through December 15th and is already booking into 2026! It’s not too late to have her as part of your birth team.

Diane is covered by all Michigan Medicaid plans as well as private pay.

She supports both home births and births at McLaren Petoskey, Munson Grayling, Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Cadillac — and will even travel to Alpena or West Branch to ensure families get the support they deserve.

Her calm presence brings peace and confidence to every birth she attends. ✨

Message us today to connect with Diane and learn more about having her by your side for your birth journey. 🤍
