About us
Heidi
I have always been a birth nerd! I grew up always gravitating towards younger children and babies, and I always knew I wanted to be a mother. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, I dove into researching. I listened to countless podcasts & books. I thought I was prepared and knew all there was to know— but my labor, birth, and postpartum experiences still surprised me in many ways and left me wishing I had more support.
This is where my passion for serving mamas blossomed from! I saw the deep importance of having an experienced supporter through those tender moments. Through my own experience and the experiences of others that I have been able to witness, I have a much deeper understanding of true physiological birth, all of the details that play a role in birth stories, and the importance of true support in the fourth trimester. As a doula and birth keeper, I view my role as your experienced sister, mother, or friend; simply supporting you as women have been supporting each other for generations.
I’m west Michigan born & raised. I’m married to my best friend and we have a 4 year old daughter who we adore!
My primary role in this season of life is to be a wife and mother! When I have a free moment I enjoy reading, being crafty, lifting weights, thrifting, & baking. I’m passionate about my relationships, my faith & beliefs, and holistic living (you might even call me “crunchy”)!
Owner, Birth & Postpartum Doula
Cosette
After earning her BSN in 2023, Cosette quickly realized that the traditional hospital model did not align with her desire to pursue root-cause care and cultivate meaningful, unhurried connections with people. However, her time in labor and delivery left a lasting impact. Witnessing new life enter the world stirred a deep passion in her heart for birth work.
“I wholeheartedly believe that childbirth is designed to be a sacred window of time where we have the privilege to share in the suffering of Jesus and experience His glory unlike anything else. This time is meant to be beautiful and transformative”
Cosette serves mothers, offering strength, encouragement, and compassionate support throughout pregnancy and birth. In addition to her work as a doula, she serves as a full-time missionary, traveling to share the hope and transformative power of the gospel.
Cosette is married to her best friend, Kevin, and enjoys long walks outdoors, baking, reading, and hosting friends. She credits every part of her journey to Jesus and considers it a joy to walk alongside families during such a meaningful season of life.
Birth & Postpartum DoulaOUR STORY
I (Heidi, Owner) started Golden Hours Doula Services in 2024. I felt so clearly called into birth work by the Lord and have been so blessed and honored to be in this space. Each and every mother, family, and birth story has a special place in my heart! I remain incredibly humbled by how God has led women here.
As I filled to capacity with clients, I began praying that God would help guide me as to what direction this business should go. I prayed that He would help me know IF I needed to expand my business in some way and if so, HOW. A few months after I began praying about this, Cosette and I connected and I immediately knew she was an answer to that prayer!
