Hello & Welcome

My name is Alicia Montgomery.  I am a certified DONA (Doulas of North America) birth doula in Southeast Michigan.  I offer birth doula services for clients giving birth in hospitals, homes, and birth centers.  I offer postpartum doula care in your home.  I am also a Birthing From Within Childbirth Mentor and Educator and I offer group and private birthing classes.

My approach with couples in my classes and with my doula care is holistic.  We explore the strength and wisdom you already hold as parents.  We prepare emotionally and spiritually for birth and examine hopes and fears.  We discuss pain and practice coping with it.  And last but not least I provide you with information so you feel confident navigating childbirth of today.

I think the most important value a woman can walk into birth with is trust.  When I'm working with you in any capacity this is something important we are working toward.  

As a doula I offer mothering, gentle guidance, encouragement, and experience.  I hold a space for you to discover what you can do, what love you have for this baby, and how you as a new emerging family can grow together.  

All women have an instinctual knowing about birthing and mothering.  I feel honored to be present for these times in men and women's lives when they become parents.

Exciting News! 
 Yours Truly gets a birth story published!

Released December 1st 2012, "Joyful Birth: More Childbirth Stories Told by Doulas". 

When I saw a call for authors for this upcoming book I knew I had to submit a story about the Power of Trust in Birth.

When my story was accepted I was so overcome with joy!

I give special Thanks to the family who allowed me to write about their fabulous birthing journey.  I feel so honored to have been a witness to this special time in their life.  I am also thankful to the editors Lisa Caron and Lisa Doran for working so hard at putting this book together.

Joyful Birth is full of inspiring stories from doulas.  Pick up a copy.
