Meet The Midwife

My name is Jenny Zaner.  I am a licensed Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) who serves Southeast Michigan.  My story began in 2004 when I gave birth to our oldest son at home with the presence of a midwife. I was able to catch my own baby, peacefully with love in a birthing tub. The birth of my son was also the awakening of my new found passion... Birth! 

I was  filled with excitement, passion, and a desire to share all of the new information that I had learned. 

 A few short years later, my professional journey into birth work began. I became a Birth Doula who specialized in natural birth, taught private childbirth education classes, and started working my way through a 3.5 year home birth midwifery apprenticeship. During my career, I have trained and worked with many different midwives in Michigan. I am forever grateful for all of the midwives and clients who have all taught me so much along the way.  

 I believe and trust in birth as a normal physiological process in which both mother and baby are simultaneously working together. They are both sharing in the birthing experience. I believe that care during this intimate time in a family's life should be tailored to their individual specific desires and needs. I  believe that every birth, regardless of location, should be a family centered birth. I look forward to working with you through your journey of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. 

Jenny sat on the Board of the Michigan Midwives Association from 2016 to 2019

Meet the Doula 

My name is Paige Pankey. I am a mother, a birth doula and a certified yoga teacher.

 I have a passion for everything birth and the natural way of life. I feel honored to share the experience with others.
Since I was a little girl I dreamed of having a baby at home and that’s exactly what I was blessed with doing! 
Nothing excites me more than having the opportunity to support mothers, babies, parents, and families through this incredible journey.
I am always continuing my education and learning with each new day and every unique client. I look forward to serving you on this natural and special journey that we call birth.

Meet the Doula 

Hi, My name is Darrien Dolan.
I am a Certified Birth Doula through ProDoula.
I’m a home-birthing mother of two.  
I have a strong passion for helping and empowering women in all stages of life, especially in the pivotal time when transitioning into motherhood.
Being able to provide emotional support, physical support and information so that mothers can make educated and informed decisions about their options is a significant reason on why I became a Doula.

My goal is for all of my clients to feel supported throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the journey into motherhood.
