Find a Doula Near Me in Lima, OH

I have been supporting families in Northwest Ohio as a Birth Doula since 2018 and a Certified Lactation Counselor, Postpartum Doula, Infant Care Specialist, and Childbirth Educator since 2022. My approach to doula care focuses on holistic, inclusive, non-judgmental support. I believe there are many ways to birth and I strive to create a safe and loving space for each client. In my spare time, or when I'm not running kids to sporting events, I enjoy camping, reading, crafting, visiting new coffee shops, and sports.

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 also assisted as a doula at homebirths. I have spent years collecting information and resources regarding birth, nutrition, and how best to support healing after birth. 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.

Greetings! My name is Christine Scarlett. I am a former pediatric nurse and now a certified birth, sibling, and postpartum doula. I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and Gift Registry Advocate. Perhaps my best credential is being the mother of seven adult children and grandmother of many. I have had one cesarean, six VBAC’s, and sadly, one miscarriage. My personal experiences run the gamut of hospital, home, and waterbirth. I have many years of breastfeeding experience and do volunteer work in that field. I homeschooled for many years and still teach in a co-op one morning per week. Other specialties include cloth diapering, babywearing, healthy cooking, and even just laundry services. Contact me for a free interview to see if I can help you meet your unique goals.

I became passionate about supporting growing families after the water-birth of my now eleven year old daughter. My husband and I chose to receive maternity care from a midwife and peacefully brought our baby into the world in a tiny apartment in Huntington Beach, CA. My pregnancy and birth experience was made beautiful through research and informed choices, a safe birthing location, and a strong support team. Almost five years later I birthed my second daughter into the world right at home again. I also experienced an unmedicated birth in a hospital setting late 2019 when my son was born. After attending births in 2012, I began my maternity related education and received my birth doula certification through Childbirth International. CBI is a thorough program accredited with distinction as a provider of continuing nurse education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). I hold a Childbirth Education Certification as well as a certification in Safety and Infection Prevention and Control. I also hold an up to date CPR certification. I attend births in home and birthing center locations in the Fort Wayne area. I have supported mothers and their partners through unmedicated and medicated births alike. Alongside birth work, I am the founder and director of Community Doula Collective, Northeast Indiana's only all certified birth and postpartum doula organization that values education and compassionate care. When I'm not supporting growing families in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area I love spending time with my three children, researching all things health and wellness, homeschooling, making music with my musician husband, and creating a simple and cozy home for our family. My hope is that your pregnancy, future birth, and family transition will be made up of the best of memories and I would love to support you on your unique journey!
