Hi! My name is Brandi. I'm so glad you are here! I began my journey into becoming a Doula after having a powerful birth (cliché, I know).

On my down time I stay busy being a wife and a mother to 6 active, awesome kids. You can almost always catch me on the field or in the gym. Some of my passions include God, coffee, plants, essential oils, baby-wearing, traveling, group exercise, crafting, crystals, nature, tattoos and herbal healing. But above all, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to learn and grow. I like to encourage and empower families through their life journeys! There is nothing like becoming a family! I absolutely LOVE birth and can't wait to be a part of yours. And beyond. ❤

Hello! My name is Staci and I am a homebirth midwife. We, my husband and 4 children, have lived in NEOHIO for about 7 years. As a homebirth midwife we are eager to to learn about the family and what moves them to birth at home. We walk with the family throughout pregnancy and give as much information as we can get our hands on to share with them so they can make informed decisions about their birth care. We do all of our visits and care in home. We spend an hour or more if needed at each visit. We cherish this time of intimacy. Health, through food, exercise, and herbs, is our utmost focus. We are continually trying to learn and grow and share with our clients all we can. Some clients prefer to have co-care with an OB OR nurse midwife while others want nothing to do with any hospital care (unless a case of transport). We love to customize our care to our individual families.

Hi there! My name is Tomera Breedlove and i am located in the Cleveland, OH area. I am moving towards becoming a life coach for expected and postpartum moms. I am a Certified Pre/Postnatal Coach (CPPC) and a birth/postpartum doula. I am a mother of a beautiful 4 year old boy and have been working with children for over 11 years. Because of my own birthing/ postpartum experience, I am an advocate for moms and their mental and physical health.

I want to be that helping hand that gives the parents and baby the comfort and peace they need to recover themselves.

Greetings, my name is Deserie Hurt I am a traveling doula. I am passionate about being a birthworker. I believe that educating and encouragement are fundamental in your birthing process regardless if this is your 1st birth or your 5th. I want every client to feel empowered and an active participant with their birthing process. I am based in the Cleveland area, however, I accept all Ohio Medicaid products and Tricare East. I accept private pay clients in the state of Ohio, throughout the United States, US Territories and Canada. Yes this birth doula travels!

I love helping women understand and awaken to their own power in birth. Babies profoundly benefit from their mothers feeling a sense of empowerment and freedom throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. During this meaningful and normal physiological process, there is a hormonal orchestra that helps both mom and baby to dance and shift their way into each other's arms. My goal is to protect this space, offering a balance of privacy vs suggestions and guidance. Part of my expertise lies in recognizing and distinguishing normal from abnormal during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is an honor and privilege to walk beside families in their childbearing seasons and adjust care to fit individual needs.
