Endira has demonstrated a passion for pregnancy, birth, and childcare since she was a young child. As a ten-year-old, she studied hundreds of pages of pregnancy and childbirth manuals, constructing detailed posters illustrating every stage of pregnancy and thereafter.
Fast forward many years, Endira has invested her energy in showing up for families as they transition into parenthood. Endira is an Elite Certified Labor, Postpartum & Infant Care Doula offering support through pregnancy leading up to the birth and all that comes after. She prides herself in being able to adapt to the specific philosophies of each family she is serving.
When Endira partners with a family, she brings a sense of well-being to those around, along with empathy, diligence, and attention to detail. She has a great sense of humor and is able to put people at ease in the face of both known and unexpected stresses and anxieties that do naturally come. Endira values differences of opinion and approaches to making things run smoothly. While she is flexible, she is also consistent and dependable.
Originally from upstate New York, Endira moved to Grand Rapids in 2019 to be closer to family and new opportunities. If she’s not offering birth/postpartum support, you will find her searching for the best local coffee shop, enjoying a refreshing swim, or planning her next adventure. Above all, Endira feels called to her work as a doula, seeing it as a sacred trust; it is an honor to be welcomed into people’s homes and lives in such an intimate way.
