Welcome to the BirthPro Doula Mastery & Mentoring Program 🌿

I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Lorie, and I’ll be walking alongside you as your instructor and guide through this program. I created BirthPro because I believe in the power of community, skill-building, and compassionate support — and I believe deeply in you.

I’ve come to this work as a healer, a bodyworker, a childbirth educator, an Army veteran, a survivor, and a mom — each experience shaping how I show up for others with empathy, integrity, and presence. My background in psychology and chemical dependency counseling gave me tools, but it’s birth work that showed me the heart of transformation. It is an honor to support birthing people and now, doulas like you, who are answering the call to serve.

This path asks a lot of us — courage, compassion, curiosity. But it gives even more. In this program, we’ll build your knowledge, your confidence, and your voice. You’ll learn to support clients from all walks of life with skill and sensitivity, and I’ll be here to support you as you grow.

We are partners in this journey. And the more we lift each other up, the better this world becomes.

Let’s get started.

Warmly,

Lorie Michaels
