Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Lexington, KY. My work focuses on 3 pillars of support during the birthing year! Education: knowing your options and planning for your ideal birth experience and the unexpected. A great way to avoid a traumatic birth experience is to be really educated about your options before you go into labor! Advocacy: knowing what you want and making sure that is respected and supported. It's your birth and you're in charge! Recovery: postpartum is a gift to reset your health, but this requires rest, nourishment and establishing new routines with your new baby. I will help you make a plan before baby arrives and implement it after you give birth!

I absolutely loved having Amy participate in my birth and postpartum care! She was attentive and made helpful suggestions throughout the time she was with us. The Prenatal discussions allowed me to learn more about my previous birth and things that I wanted to go differently in the upcoming birth. Amy assisted me in research that on things that I wanted more information on and was a wealth of knowledge. She provided books and other resources that I didn't even know were out there. I was planning a homebirth and prior to labor she brought me a kit with different size peanut balls and a TENS unit and that was super helpful during my labor. Amy was very supportive throughout my labor and birth and brought essential oils in inhaler forms. She was also very attentive to my needs by providing sips of water, suggesting position changes, and even started a meal in my crockpot so it would be ready after delivery. During the postpartum period Amy helped with meal preparation, guidance on where to gain additional information on breastfeeding, took care of dishes, laundry, pump parts, helped me learn different baby wraps and how to secure the baby in them. She was also very accommodating with my toddler and indoor animals supervising them in outside play in the yard. I also enjoyed getting to discuss the labor and gain more insight to what happened and she even took pictures of the labor and delivery and sent it to me in google photos. This labor, delivery, and postpartum experience was a much better experience then I previously had and much of that is due to Amy's knowledge, care, and attention. I can't say thank you enough.

More than a decade ago, I answered a quiet but persistent calling to walk alongside women during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. My journey began as a doula and eventually led me through nursing school, hospital maternity care, home birth, birth centers, breastfeeding support, childbirth education, and medical advocacy. Along the way, I have had the privilege of attending hundreds of births and supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the many decisions that shape these experiences. These years have taught me that while knowledge matters, information alone is not enough. Women need relationship. They need support. They need space to ask questions, explore their options, and reconnect with the wisdom that already lives within them. I believe pregnancy and birth are not simply medical events. They are profound rites of passage that invite a woman to grow in strength, discernment, and trust. My role is not to tell you what choices to make. My role is to help you understand your options, cultivate confidence in your decision-making, and prepare for motherhood from a place of love rather than fear. Whether you are planning a home birth, preparing for a hospital birth, navigating a VBAC, seeking breastfeeding support, or simply looking for a trusted guide, I bring both clinical experience and deep respect for the innate design of mothers and babies. The women I serve are not looking to be managed. They are looking to be informed, supported, and seen. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you prepare to welcome your baby and step more fully into the mother you were created to become.

Sierra is the absolute best! She is so knowledgeable and shares that knowledge in a way that’s easy for the common (non-medical) person to understand. I was 39 weeks pregnant and reached out to her, somewhat freaking out, because I found out my midwife wanted to induce me. I had a lot of concerns with that. Sierra listened to my concerns, she validated how I was feeling, and was able to give me a real step by step plan of what my options were going forward. I went from panic to peace after speaking with her. Instead of feeling like I was just being shuffled through the system, I felt empowered to make decisions and advocate for myself and my baby. I would totally trust her with anything baby/pregnancy related and would absolutely seek her advice again!

As a mother of two children under two, my journey into doula work was born from personal experience and a deep desire to support families through the transformative stages of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am passionate about guiding first-time parents through the joys and challenges of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care. Ensuring they feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way. Having both breastfed and formula-fed my own children, I understand that every feeding journey is unique. I provide compassionate lactation and feeding support tailored to your family’s needs, helping you navigate this important stage with confidence. Your birth preferences matter, and I am committed to advocating for your wishes while fostering a calm, low-stress environment. Whether you have a specific birth plan in mind or are still exploring your options, I will support you in making informed decisions that feel right for you and your baby. I am currently completing my DONA certification to ensure I provide the highest standard of care. By the end of the year, I will also be a fully certified Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counselor. Continuing to expand my knowledge to serve families with the utmost care. I would be honored to support you on this journey!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Alexis and discussing my future plans for pregnancy and childbirth. Even though I'm not pregnant yet, her warmth, charisma, and extensive knowledge have already made a significant impression on me. She's not only incredibly funny and smart but also a great parent herself. I feel confident that when the time comes, I will be in the best hands with her support. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled doula, without a doubt!

I am a DONA trained Birth Doula in Louisville, KY and am currently raising three kids, ages 14, 12, and 6, with my husband of 15 years in beautiful Shelby County. I became a Doula in June of 2018 and it is a true passion of mine. I have personally had both natural and medicated birth experiences and I support all births! I believe every birth journey is unique and that's the beauty of your story! After having a doula present for two of my babies, I quickly developed a passion and knew I wanted to be able to support others going through pregnancy and birth. I also know how challenging the Fourth Trimester can be and I l have such a heart to support moms in navigating through that postpartum season. I am also super passionate about educating families and empowering you to be an advocate for yourself. I offer in-home birth education, phone support, and consults for families who want the knowledge and prenatal support, but don't necessarily want the full doula labor and birth presence.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Jamie! For my second birth, I decided rather late in the game that I wanted to hire a doula to help me go unmedicated. I can undoubtedly say that I would not have been able to meet my goals without Jamie. In our prenatal visits, she asked all the right questions to understand my goals and preferences. She is incredibly down-to-earth and easy to talk to, which makes a huge difference when planning for such an intense experience. My labor itself had several unexpected turns that felt like setbacks, and Jamie was the steadfast and calm coach I needed when I was doubting myself. She has a ton of tricks up her sleeve - it seemed like she came up with a new comfort measure right when I needed it every time! It is clear that she has vast experience with birth and labor, and I specifically loved that she had lots of experience with natural births at hospitals (vs. home births). I am so happy that God led me to Jamie, she is an excellent doula and an excellent person. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!
