Michelle Sanford | Educator, Certified Doula & Master of Chaos
Since 2016, Michelle has served the Greater Fox Valley and Green Bay areas as a ProDoula Certified Specialist in labor, postpartum, and infant care. Her journey into the birthing world was deeply personal; after having her first two children, the birth of her daughter at age 38 opened her eyes to the need for empowered, informed support. With a “gentle nudge” from her mentor, she transitioned over 23 years of teaching experience—ranging from middle schoolers to adult learners at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College—into a career of maternal advocacy.
Michelle holds a BSA in Education (Grades 1-8) and a Master’s in Educational Technology, making her as proficient with complex software and digital systems as she is with birth support. She is a lifelong organizer who thrives on turning chaos into order. This skill is evident whether she is helping to coordinate community fundraisers for the Wisconsin Doulas Association or Scouting America Troop 1107 or managing the logistics of a 34-day, 9-state road trip out West with her husband, daughter, and dogs. going to visit her son (24) in Madison, or chilling with her oldest son (29) at home. When she isn’t teaching or supporting new parents, Michelle is likely planning her next family adventure or enjoying the quiet of nature with an audiobook.
“If we learn from the experience, there is no failure, only delayed victory.” — Carrie Chapman Catth

Hello, my name is Robin Dietel. I am a mother of four adult children and a Mema to four beautiful granddaughters. I have been a nurse for over 36 years, 28 of those being in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, NBN Nursery, Lactation and Childbirth Education. My passion to provide education and support to expectant parents allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a certified doula.
In March of 2021 I started Mema D’s Doula Services, LLC providing both labor and postpartum doula services to the Central Wisconsin area. I continue my “day job ” as a casual status Lactation Consultant with the Marshfield Health Care System in Marshfield, and pursue my “passion” of providing birth and postpartum support in between.
On a personal level, I enjoy travel, reading and reality TV! My goal as a Regional Coordinator is to bring doulas together with support and education in order to best serve parents in the Central Wisconsin area.
Hello! I’m Ashley Schmitz, a mom to 2 boys and a wife to a supportive husband. Our life in Central WI keeps us busy with farming along with our “day jobs.” Growing up, I worked on a hog farm helping sows deliver piglets which grew my passion for labor and delivery.
My experience as a 1st time mom having a c-section at 33 weeks, I knew I had to change my outcome for my 2nd pregnancy and talk to others about their perspective on motherhood in rural WI. With that, I was able to have my dream VBAC and this was when I knew my calling in life was a doula. In June, 2024, I started You are the World Doula Services and have been providing birth support since then. I am passionate about all things birth and babies and love supporting women as they transition into and through motherhood.
For over 29 years, my life’s work has revolved around nurturing families and empowering parents. As a mother, seasoned Postpartum Doula, and Infant Care Specialist, I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to every client. My own journey through motherhood, where I relied heavily on the support of fellow mothers, underscored the critical need for community and compassionate guidance.
This personal understanding fuels my dedication to providing empathetic, tailored care through Doula Co. MKE. We offer comprehensive support, including emotional and mental health resources, newborn care education, and vital self-care strategies during the postpartum period. My unwavering belief is that no parent should navigate this transformative time alone.
Beyond individual client care, I am deeply committed to strengthening the Milwaukee doula community, fostering mentorship, and breaking down barriers to ensure every birth worker can thrive. Together, we can build a stronger, more supportive environment for families in Milwaukee.
