Alexa Zamora

Alexa Zamora is a certified birth doula based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a heartfelt passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. She holds deep respect for the individuality of each birth experience and is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers parents to make informed choices and feel confident every step of the way. Whether supporting a home birth, hospital delivery, or something in between, Alexa brings a calm, grounded presence to help create a safe, nurturing environment tailored to each family's unique needs and wishes.

Though newly certified, Alexa brings real-world experience to her doula practice. While completing her formal training, she independently supported families through labor and birth. These hands-on experiences have shaped her approach and deepened her commitment to providing calm, knowledgeable care. Her recent certification has only strengthened the foundation she had already built through firsthand involvement in the birth space.

Before becoming a doula, Alexa spent over five years working in special education, a role that taught her so much about patience, empathy, and how to support families through both challenges and celebrations. Working closely with students and their families helped her develop strong communication skills, a deep sense of compassion, and the ability to stay calm and grounded in high-stress situations. These are all qualities she now brings into the birth space, where every family deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Alexa’s path to becoming a doula felt like a natural next step. After years of supporting families through the education system, she found herself drawn to another incredibly meaningful part of life: birth. She has always been passionate about helping others feel empowered and cared for, and once she began attending births, she knew she had found her calling. Becoming a doula has allowed her to combine her love for nurturing others with her belief in the power of informed, supported, and deeply personal birth experiences.

Outside of her work as a doula, Alexa enjoys spending time outdoors, cooking, knitting, cozying up in bed with a book, and being with her family and friends. She feels incredibly grateful to walk alongside families during one of life’s most transformative journeys, offering not only her experience and knowledge but wholehearted support from beginning to end.

When I think about the families I support, I hope they feel seen, heard, and truly supported. I want them to feel safe and empowered to make the choices that are right for them, knowing they have someone by their side who cares deeply and will advocate for their needs without judgment. One of my favorite parts of this work is being able to nurture and empower families during one the most memorable milestones. I love witnessing their strength and resilience and knowing that my presence helps them feel confident, calm, and cared for throughout their birth journey.
