Meet Our Birth Workers

Service area is Primarily Macomb County, but I will travel within 1 hour for lactation support.

I am a Christian mom of 2 great kids! I believe our bodies were beautifully designed by God and my passion is educating families on how to work with that design to achieve a positive birth experience. I've been a childbirth educator for 11 years and a CLC for 6 years. I strive to show the love of Jesus through my work in birth education and support

Hello!  I’m Chris Borowski and I am a Certified Nurse Midwife.  I work with an amazing group of women at Women First OB GYN in Royal Oak, Michigan. I am affiliated with Corewell Royal Oak Beaumont and Karmanos Center for Natural Birth.  I was a Labor & Delivery RN for 18 years before becoming a CNM in 2011.

I am passionate about caring for women in every stage of their life.  I especially love taking care of pregnant mommas. I am well versed in all of the labor methods and an expert in Spinning Babies.  I have been a part of thousands of births since 1995 and love everything birth related.

I am passionate about my faith.  I became a Christian and dedicated my life to Jesus at 22 years old.  Becoming a nurse and then a Nurse Midwife as my life calling!  Patience and kindness, and praying everyday on my way to the office or hospital is my labor of love.

I am married (about to celebrate 30 yrs) and have 3 children who are all in their 20’s. 

I love spending time with my family & friends, good food, Christian music, beaches, sunrises and sunsets!

For the past 14yrs I have had the privilege of working with families during the most transformative time of their lives. It has been an honor to be welcomed into this space. 

Over the years I have held many roles in the birth community serving as a Doula, Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, Birth Assistant, Herbalist, and traditional Midwifery Student. During this season of life I am focusing on offering in-home Lactation Consulting to families in South East Michigan and the thumb area. I believe that offering on-going, compassionate, holistic care to postpartum families can help bridge the gap to thriving future generations.

Her masters degree is in nursing from the University of Michigan– Ann Arbor, Where she also earned her advanced practice certificate in nurse midwifery. Finally, Lyric obtained her doctorate degree from University of Detroit Mercy.

She enjoys the health teaching that is part of annual exams, Pap smears for cervical cancer screening, ordering mammograms, and ordering colonoscopies if needed. Lyric is dedicated to providing prenatal care and midwifery combined with doula care at the birth. Lyric has delivered more than 950 babies and is honored to be present at the intimate time for each family. Lyric has four adult children and her husband is a chiropractor who also has been trained in prenatal and infant adjustments. Lyric enjoys baking sourdough bread, gardening, and walking her dogs. Lyric is passionate about volunteering at a free prenatal care clinic called the Luke Project 52 Clinic Of Flint . As often as possible, she attends daily mass at St Matthews in Downtown Flint. Lyric is delighted to be part of the Christian Doulas and abirth Workers of Michigan. 

In birth work since 2018 and running a home birth practice since 2021 I prioritize high-quality, client-led care. I am especially passionate about supporting women well through the postpartum period and preparing for a successful postpartum season prenatally. 

Outside of birth work I have 6 children, two of my own that I birthed at home and 4 beautiful bonus daughters. I enjoy baking sourdough of many kinds, going to the park with the kids and attending mass at St. John the Evangelist in Davison

As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I empathize deeply with the challenges in seeking breastfeeding support, stemming from my own journey after the birth of my first son. This experience not only resolved our breastfeeding issues but redirected my career towards lactation. Affiliated. I offer dedicated guidance, professionalism, and expertise, supporting individuals with evidence-based information on their breastfeeding journeys.

Hello, I am a CPM, LM, with a BSM, in the Fenton/Hartland MI 

and service areas that fall within 1 hour OR a 45-mile radius from my home. As a believer, I sensed a calling to midwifery about ten years ago but actively pursued it after five years. Through my training, my eyes were open to the lack of evidence-based, compassionate care for women in the childbearing years. With each woman I served, my passion grew and my dedication deepened. I wanted to learn as much as I could. It often felt like I was created to be a midwife. It felt so natural and some of it came easily to me. I feel passionately about providing women and their families with compassionate and informed care! Now, on the other side of my training, 

I have attended over 100+ 

births with hundreds of prenatal and postpartum visits for mother and baby. This includes thousands of hours of clinical work.

My name is Krystal Throne and I have been in the medical field for over 13 years. Just like you, I would reach for any and every resource that was credible to gain knowledge. Anything to feel like I wasn’t the only mother on the planet who didn’t know what they were doing.So after the birth of my third child I permanently changed to maternal fetal care focusing primarily on lactation and education.

 Named by my husband, my little business is meant to be an inclusive and supportive  evidence-based resource hub for mothers of all stages. As a Nationally Certified Lactation Counselor, I provide lactation education, classes, and consulting via virtual and in-person to help nursing moms. My mission is to listen to your goals and help you create a feeding plan that works best for you and your family without judgment. Breast, bottle, pumping, supplementing- My goal is to help you reach your goal, no matter what that looks like. .I love giving prenatal education for moms to feel empowered before baby arrives, and help them  feel supported after baby is born.

My primary region is 1 hour radius from Romeo, MI, but in some instances, I may travel outside that radius or help virtually in any capacity I can.

Dr. Rachael Elizabeth Miller and her team love helping mamas discover that the process of becoming and being a mother doesn't have to be scary. Instead, pregnancy, giving birth and postpartum life can be customized to align with what they envision all stages of motherhood to be like. 

So many moms and moms-to-be feel afraid of the unknown and wonder if they are going to be able to handle pregnancy, labor and delivery, and recovery. But, what this team knows and believes is that mamas have so many tools and skills in their own power that can bring a healthy labor, delivery, and recovery for both mama and baby. 

For nearly 2 decades Dr. Rachael has become a mom to 5 kids via multiple birth methods and settings, and also built a thriving women's pelvic health physical therapy and coaching practice.

As a mom of four, Dr. Meagan joined the team because she understands firsthand the joys, challenges, and physical demands of motherhood.

In their journey as moms and pelvic floor physical therapist, this team has learned first hand that each mom's journey from pregnancy to recovery is unique and can be full of joy and excitement, rather than fear.

I service Fenton/Hartland area and up to an hour away for birth and newborn sessions. On some occasions I will travel farther, just reach out:) 

Hi, I'm Keri! I'm a mama of 8 and I fell in love with photography 14 years ago when I just had 2 children at home. I desired to take better photos of my kids, because photographs are freezing moments in time and memories in our hearts and it was through capturing my own kids that Keri Harrison Photography was born. I am a published photographer that specializes in Birth, Newborn + Family Photography.
 

If you are on the hunt for a Metro Detroit Michigan Birth Photographer, I’m your girl! I LOVE babies and am so passionate about my birth work! Birth sessions are my very favorite to document and I would shoot them all day if I could! As a mom of eight, I truly treasured each of my pregnancies, the births of my babies and those first days and weeks with my new baby. It is such a sweet and special season in life that should be captured and remembered for years to come.

The moment a new mom hears her baby’s first cry. The moment a new dad holds his baby for the very first time. I have photographed many different things, but there is nothing like the excitement of capturing the moment a new life comes into this world.

The day you bring your child into this world is one of the most beautiful days of your life, and it should be documented. Hiring a birth photographer allows dad to be focused on mom and baby, and be a part of the birth story. If he’s behind the lens taking photos, he's missing out on being fully engaged in the birth + baby's arrival and that's not how it should be.  Without a birth photographer, it’s easy to be left with just a couple photos of baby after delivery. Having 8 children myself, I’ve been on both sides of the birth process – which has given me insight on the key moments to capture for you. I can't wait to capture your miracle! 

My name is Samantha Mehaffey, LM, CPM, BSM, I’m a wife and a mother of five.  My husband was in the Navy for 8 years, and we had two of our children while he was still in service, the third, fourth, and fifth were born in our home with midwives after his naval service ended. 

I believe that God has strategically placed me in the Battle Creek Community to help guide women toward informed and compassionate care.  It is important to me that I utilize the life he has given me to help others.  Among many other things I have personally experienced c-section, miscarriage, cord prolapse, stillbirth, trisomy 18, genetic mutations, and other interesting and somewhat rare situations.  These personal trials have led me to become more empathetic, sympathetic, caring, and respectful of the unique stories of each woman I help in their preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and well woman care.   

Areas Serving: Oakland and Macomb Counties, and some surrounding areas. 

Bio: 

Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and Women’s Fitness Specialist. Serving Oakland and Macomb Counties. I am also the owner of Lovely 9 Months,  a nutrition and fitness coaching business designed to help women feel empowered, strong, and confident throughout pregnancy, birth, and recovery.

I am a Mama to two beautiful girls, and I had amazing, happy pregnancies! I attribute those positive experiences to having an incredible support system that educated and prepared me for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This opened my eyes to how many women do not have access to that same level of care and guidance and drives my desire to work in this field.

I currently coach and train women in one-on-one, group, and virtual settings. One of the unique ways I serve prenatal and postpartum women is by offering prenatal and postpartum–specific strength classes in Rochester Hills. These classes combine the fun and affordability of group fitness with the personalized attention of one-on-one training, allowing women in any trimester—including postpartum—to train safely and effectively.

I am a follower and friend of Jesus, and love seeing his fingerprints all over birth work. I am a wife and mama, and love running, painting, reading, and community!

Service Area: Virtual Therapy Services throughout Michigan 

Hi, I am Mikala Selich, a Master's Level Psychologist and owner of Guided Goals Therapy LLC. I am very passionate about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, anxiety, stress, and life transitions with compassion and understanding. As a Christian, I value faith, grace, and the importance of emotional support during every season of life. My approach is warm, supportive, and goal oriented, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where women can feel seen, heard, and empowered as they navigate life's challenges. I believe therapy can be a place for healing, growth, and renewed hope, helping women care for both their mental wellness and overall well-being. 

​I’m a registered nurse since 2013, including working in Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and
Postpartum at McLaren Flint since 2016. I’ve had the honor of walking alongside so many moms
and families during one of the most meaningful times in their lives, and it’s truly where my
heart is.
My Catholic faith is a big part of who I am and how I care for others. I believe birth is more than
just a physical experience: it’s something deeply personal and God-designed. My approach
blends clinical knowledge with compassionate, faith-centered care. I love being able to support
moms not just with what I’ve learned with a nurse, but also with encouragement, peace, and
prayer when it’s wanted.
When I’m not at the hospital or supporting families, I volunteer with Luke Project 52. Serving
others in my community is something that’s really important to me and has shaped the way I
approach birth work.
Outside of birth work, I’m a wife and a mom to two active kids, and you’ll often find me
cheering at their sports events. I understand firsthand the beauty and busyness of family life,
and I bring that perspective into the care I offer.
