Adding a new baby to your home, whether it was through naturally conceiving, through fertility treatments, surrogacy or adoption, is a life-changing moment and you need support. My team and I can help! You don’t have to start your journey alone! My name is Mary and I am a CAPPA certified postpartum doula with additional training in perinatal nutrition. I was introduced to this amazing work over 20 years ago and realized my true calling is supporting and empowering families during their postpartum transition. I love the outdoors; my hobbies include hiking, kayaking and camping and I am an avid animal lover. I am also a music and trivia nerd. I am a mom and stepmom to five amazing (adult) children and I look forward to the opportunity of serving your family. As postpartum doulas, my team is here to support and guide you as your family explores this new terrain, commonly referred to as the fourth trimester. This term, coined by Dr. Harvey Karp, denotes the 3 months following your baby’s birth and is a time of great physical and emotional change as your baby(ies) adjusts to life outside the womb. It is also the transition period that families undergo as they adjust to life with a new baby. My team takes pride in providing you space to rest, recover, and bond with your new bundle(s) of joy while providing newborn care and tackling household tasks such as meal preparation, laundry, dishes etc. I offer non-judgemental, evidence-based support for you and your family as we believe parenthood looks different for every family. Our goals are to instill confidence in your decisions and empower you and your family as you navigate your way through the fourth trimester. Every family deserves care that is evidence-based, emotionally safe and inclusive regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or ability. I am absolutely honored to have the pleasure to serve Dayton, Cincinnati and the surrounding communities.

I'm a Christian DONA International doula, serving families in the SW Ohio area. I am a mother of five children, I have had home births, natural hospital birth, and medicated births.

I have amassed a wealth of knowledge but I am constantly learning and love to guide other women to information so they can make the best decisions possible for their family. I provide birth education and as your labor coach I want to help empower you to have information and understanding surrounding physiological birth so that you can have an amazing labor and delivery. I also provide postpartum planning and resources to help you adjust to life after birth and enter parenthood for the first, third, or fifth time. I want you and your family to thrive and I understand the challenges that come with growing your family.

I am a certified birth doula with a passion for pregnancy and birth advocacy. I am a true geek when it comes to anything birthy.

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am the owner of Liberty Doula Services based out of Liberty Township, OH. I am also a certified doula and mother of four children. I have a license and Masters in Social Work and prior to becoming a doula, I spent 14 years working as a social worker in the community. While I loved getting to know and work with families, my passion lies in helping and supporting women and families in all stages of pregnancy and early parenthood. After having four unique births of my own, ranging from a hospital induction to a home birth, I realized there is a lack of continuous support for women in our society specifically related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum periods. I believe there are many missed opportunities to help set families up for success, starting with pregnancy and extending through the rest of their lives. I realized this was an opportunity for me to continue to support families in my community, but in a different way. This led me to become a doula. My mission is to walk beside families in my community to help them create gentle and memorable transitions into parenthood. The memories of these days will last a lifetime.

NICU nurse/Newborn Care Specialist/Postpartum Doula I have been an RN for 23+ years. 19 years were spent in the NICU. The last 4 years as a newborn/pediatric home care nurse. I am married with two beautiful girls, one is a teenager and the other a young adult. I can be a caregiver for your whole family. I’m a highly qualified and skilled RN with 19 years of NICU/newborn experience, a compassionate human being, caring, loyal, and last but not least, someone to support your whole Family, create an enjoyable experience in the postpartum period, and facilitate healthy habits for you and your baby, as well as help promote the priceless bond between parents and their new sweet peas. What is the Difference Between a Postpartum Doula & a Newborn Care Specialist? During and after childbirth are both incredibly stressful times for new mothers. Whether you are a first-time mom or not, you might have many questions and anxieties regarding how to best care for your child and how to adjust your lifestyle to fit this new arrival. And while a doctor, midwife, or another medical professional will walk you through childbirth and original aftercare, many moms often wish for additional support as they navigate this new step in life. it comes down to what you, as new parents feel you need the most help with! First, we will discuss in great detail what you are looking for, then go from there!

Hey there, my name is Jasmine Johnston and I’m from Cincinnati, OH. I am a Full Spectrum Doula and Wholistic infant feeding and lactation consultant. I am a proud gardener and crocheter. I also enjoy yoga, herbalism, vegan food, and wholistic health. I’m not new to care taking, I Have 10 Nieces and Nephews and I’ll always say my younger sister was my first baby. However, it was through my first born that I was reborn myself. While pregnant, I gained a passion for birthwork and gardening. I began to understand the importance of getting connected with earth’s essence and supporting each seed towards their fullest potential. In gardening, each seed knows exactly what to do when given the right environment to flourish. I believe in that philosophy for birthing people. I aim to support women in their fully informed power and connection to self through the ancestral ways of breastfeeding, birthing, and wholistic wellness.

Early parenthood requires decision after decision for you and your family. When we work together, I support YOUR choices, but I am alongside you to provide evidence-based information and practical guidance as you navigate the grey (and fuchsia and chartreuse). Inclusive, compassionate care is always my goal; the way our identities intersect with our role as a parent are front of mind as I work with clients. Anti-racist and LGBTQ-affirming service is of the utmost importance to me. I am fueled by deep connection to community, my family, adventure + travel, and caffeine. I am dreaming up a connected, visible network of Cincinnati postpartum resources: our local families need and deserve this.

Hi! I have been a doula and childbirth educator for 17 amazing years! I'm a CAPPA certified labor doula and faculty doula trainer; certified childbirth educator, and certified midwife assistant. I'm also waterbirth credentialed, CPR and NRP certified. I have professional memberships with CAPPA, Birth Arts International, DONA, and the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH). I am grateful to have served over 1000 families in my tenure as a doula and childbirth educator since 2006. I've held board positions with the Cincinnati Area Doula Society, the Buckeye Birth Coalition, International Cesarean Awareness Network, and the Dayton Area Labor Support but my real passion lies in working with new families and being an integral part of their birth care team.

I started Beyond the Bump Cincy Postpartum Doula services to support families in the Greater Cincinnati area about 3 years ago. We help new families get rest, feel more in control, and figure out how they want to parent. We offer non-medical evidence-based services.

Hi everyone! I’m the oldest of three so reminding mothers to take time for themselves and helping with children is very natural for me. Doula-ing (whether I knew what it was or not) has always been a theme in my life, and is something that has become very dear to me in the past few years. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power, and with birth as no exception to that my main focus is always providing evidence based, informative care.

I want every mom to feel seen, heard and supported in her vision of her birth. I work with an amazing group of doulas at Nurture. We have a beautiful space in Hyde Park, where we offer 3D Ultrasounds, Hypnobirthing Classes, Massage Therapy, Prenatal Yoga, Postpartum Mom's Groups, and more. We would love to support you on your journey to meeting your baby!
