Meet The Team
Michele Akosua Chin-On
As a birth worker who honors the sacred process of bringing new life into this world, I bring a calm, peaceful energy to each client and their family. As an advocate for social justice in birth, I aim to expand access to reproductive healthcare and empower those historically excluded. My passion and commitment to advocate for birthing people globally is unwavering.
My journey was inspired by the birth of my son and our decision to have a medication-free home birth. That profound experience launched my life onto a better path; my son is my greatest inspiration.
I have the following credentials and experience:
- Certified birth and postpartum doula
- Infant and child care nursing specialist
- Chronically ill adult specialized nursing.
- Certified Reiki Mistress
- HIV test counselor
- Ackerman Institute certified family therapist
- Trauma-release bodywork practitioner specializing in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and sound healing
- Certified Integrative Therapist specializing in living and working with complex trauma using Indigenous Tools for Living (ITFL).
- Certified pregnancy and infant loss advocate.
I provide support during difficult times. My lifelong study of herbal traditions connects me to Mother Earth and her healing plants. I am grateful for this life and the opportunity to collaborate with you in co-creating the empowering birth you and your baby deserve.

When I discovered doula work, I knew I had found my calling. As a nurturer at heart and mother of three, I have a wealth of experience in compassion, empathy, listening, and being fully present. As a certified birth doula, I believe all families deserve unbiased, non-judgmental care. I want every birthing woman to feel loved, confident, and comfortable, as I believe providing that support builds up communities for generations.
I see my role as providing emotional, physical, and spiritual preparation for birth. I am a resource, helping clients navigate medical terminology, protocols, and systems while inspiring trust in a woman’s innate ability to birth. I hold space for each client, focusing on her individual needs during labor. I use intuition so birthing moms receive care and attention without asking. I offer diplomatic communication with hospital staff so mothers can be fully present and families fully attentive.
I respect and embrace each client’s vision for their birth, knowing every experience is unique. My work evolves continually as I strive to provide compassionate, judgment-free, evidence-based education and support.
If you seek a birth doula, I look forward to supporting you. My promise is to exercise love through service and action.
