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. I support all types of births from home to hospital, unmedicated to medicated. The importance is that you have the knowledge for informed consent and are making decision you feel confident and safe with!

I LOVE Allison. I saw her for a few sessions while I was pregnant and now have continued seeing her without being pregnant as well. She takes such good care of me every time I see her. She’s very intentional about asking if there are any areas she needs to focus on and her space is therapeutic to be in as well. I’ve seen a couple of massage therapists but Allison is definitely my favorite by far. I will continue seeing her as long as I am able!

HI. I’m Abbey, the other half of Kindred, a doula partnership I share with my amazing sister-in-law! I am a wife to my long-time boyfriend, a mother to two wild & free girls, a sister, a friend, a nurse, a small business owner, a musician, &, most recently & excitingly, a doula. I live in the rural greater Dayton area on a piece of land back a long lane, nestled against a wood of trees. It’s becoming my oasis, my resting place, our haven to grow and make memories. I am a lover of adventure and the term “settling down” or “forever home” has always terrified me, but the past few years of some intense grief and loss have taught me that a quiet space to grow into your own, to rest, is a gift and a privilege. I am grateful. My mothering tendency is becoming. With the birth of my first came the birth of my mama heart and a wonder beyond wonder. I surprised myself with the way this season was becoming my absolute best one yet. A cumulation of immense loss and grief, another pregnancy, and the birth of my second baby girl, was followed by a season of despair, as I can now call it looking back. A miscarriage followed and left me bare bones and not thriving. Today I find myself growing into who I am as a mama. I find great joy in watching my girls grow and become, great anxiety in the “what ifs” of their little lives, and am overstimulated way easier than I ever imagined possible. You’ll find us playing in the woods, splashing in water of some kind, taking trips to the library & coffee shop, making so many random breakfasts/lunches, meeting with friends, playing dress-up or make-believe of one kind of another, & soaking up the sunshine. When I’m not mumming, I’ll be reading, playing guitar, walking, working as a homecare nurse, having deep conversations with my guy, waxing nostalgic, drinking black coffee or red wine, & eating fruit of some kind, or recently more than ever, sitting & staring to find some mental rest (anyone else?). It’s so good to meet you here. I am so honored to be entering this sacred space of pregnancy, birth, & womanhood, & am looking forward to getting to know you. We’re here for it all, and want more than anything for this to become a “soft space to land”. I pursued my birth doula and lactation support training with a DONA certified doula, and am now pursuing certification myself. I am also a RN-BSN. Although I am not operating from this title while in the birth doula space, I do bring this background and experience.

As “The Doula PT”, Dr. Alicia actively engages within her community to guide women in ways to live and birth with confidence through pelvic floor therapy and birth support. Her goal is to empower her patients and clients by bringing light to the ways to improve health outcomes and heal their bodies.

Alicia is an incredible Doula! At my first few OB appointments I was unhappy with my experiences, and I felt a great mistrust with my OB doctors. As a first-time expectant mother, I knew I needed an advocate who would bridge the gap between a traditional hospital birth and having an empowering spiritual birthing experience. After first meeting Alicia I felt so empowered! I knew birth does not always go according to plan, but I knew she was going to do everything to help me achieve the birthing experience I wanted. I was so impressed by how much she educated both me and my husband. When I was in labor all this education really helped. As I was laboring at home I hit a wall, and Alicia came over at 3am and helped to keep me mentally strong and progressing through labor. Even though it was the middle of the night she showed up with energy and encouragement. At the hospital she advocated for me to be on wireless monitoring and to use a squat bar and stability ball. When it came time to push, she supported me in remaining side-lying when the OB wanted me to flip to my back. Alicia used her knowledge throughout my labor to suggest laboring positions and provide pain easing techniques to help me have the unmedicated birth I wanted. Without her help, I know having this birthing experience would not have been possible. She kept the spiritual part in our birth and prayed with us throughout our labor. Because of Alicia, the birth of our daughter brought me and my husband closer, and I love the way he beams with pride when he tells people about our daughter’s birth. This is truly Alicia’s calling in life, and having her as a doula was truly a blessing. Brittany S
