CURRENT STATUS: Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Trainer, Certified Elite Postpartum & Infant Care Doula, Certified Postpartum Placenta Specialist
Sam is a certified elite Postpartum & Infant Care Doula with over five years of experience providing compassionate support and expertise to families in the Metro Detroit area. She is skilled in making meaningful connections with her clients, anticipating their needs, and helping the entire family navigate the many phases of the early postpartum experience. A conduit of the divine feminine spirit, Sam offers a warm presence, empowering guidance, empathic care, and stress relief.
While working as a graphic designer for over a decade, Sam could not shake the feeling of wanting a more purpose-driven career. In 2015, she gave birth via scheduled C-section to her first son. The ensuing postpartum experience brought on an intense loss of control and a complete rupture of her sense of self. She knew the next time had to be different. In 2018, Sam gave birth to her second child in a successful unmedicated V-BAC, with the incredible support of her birth doula. Weeks later, still basking in the glow of empowerment, connection, and strength, the metamorphosis was complete. Sam knew that birthwork was her calling, and the postpartum space was where she belonged.
Fast forward to today – being a part of ProDoula’s Training and Development team is one of Sam’s crowning career achievements. The opportunity to grow and shape what true postpartum care looks and feels like is an honor beyond measure. As a trainer, Sam’s goal is to make an authentic connection with learners, help build their confidence, and transmute their passion for helping women & families into a fulfilling and prosperous career.
When Sam is not supporting a client or talking to anyone who will listen about postpartum care, she loves to read, paint, look at the moon, and watch the Red Wings with her husband and two boys.
