Specialized and Enhanced Pregnancy & Birth Doula Support
Exie is specially trained in the Prevention of Birth Trauma. My goal is to ensure that you have what you need to feel fully safe and supported during this special time. From the point of contract, we will work together to understand what that means for you and how it can be accomplished, including creating your Birth Care & Support Plan. I strive to use my years of knowledge, education, and experience so that all of your pregnancy and birth concerns will be addressed. Since the pandemic, virtual support at ‘Tranquil Touch’ has extended to clients outside the state of Michigan and even into Canada. It is a privilege to join your birth team.

Why Should You Invest in Birth Support?
▪Pregnancy and Birth are Life-Changing Experiences
▪The average rate of births worldwide for each birth-giver is <3 times
▪There are no “do-overs” in birth, each one leaves a lasting impression on the birth-giver and their family
▪Our experiences in pregnancy and birth can impact our relationships with the new baby, older children, partners, and others
▪Being emotionally supported by a Birth Specialist who is knowledgeable in both pregnancy and all kinds of births and can help you navigate potential twists and turns while facilitating effective communication with your providers. This can be the single most important factor in how you feel about your entire experience
▪Maternal Mental Health Disorders are the most common pregnancy and childbirth complications. Partners can also experience trauma after childbirth but frequently suffer silently – the risk to either parent is significantly increased if they experience a lack of support or feeling of safety
▪Although every birth is unique and no one can know exactly how it will unfold, having a Birth Specialist available to educate you and answer your questions any time during your childbirth season can greatly decrease the “fear of the unknown” by teaching you tools that can help you and your partner cope and work with the entire process
At Tranquil Touch Birth & Women’s Wellness, you receive birth support services in a personally connected and reassuring way with thoughtfulness and respect to help you feel nurtured, supported, and confident about your pregnancy and birth journey, however it unfolds.
As a Trauma-Informed Birth Specialist, Exie applies a trauma-sensitive lens to her teaching by designing childbirth education that honors the body-mind connection, helping you and your birth partner feel physically and emotionally prepared to meet your new baby.
