Hello there, I’m Lucy Weidig. I’m a certified birth doula, postpartum doula, and newborn care specialist, devoted to serving women physically, emotionally, and physically throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. I was born and raised in Michigan then relocated to Northern Kentucky in 2017. Besides being a doula, I love to learn about health, read fiction, go hiking, and do anything and everything with my amazing husband. Becoming a doula was never in my plans, but I have a passion for reproduction, babies, and all things women’s health which inspired me to take a doula training with ToLabor, an organization in Richmond, Virginia. My Christian Faith plays a huge role in who I am as a person as well as a doula, and I love incorporating this into the birth field. I can’t get enough of the amazing knowledge and potential around supporting and educating women in and around birth! I dream of experiencing birth for myself and raising my own family, hopefully within the next couple of years. Meanwhile I hope to support as many women as possible through this powerful, beautiful work!

Lucy did a fantastic job! She was able to press on some pressure points for me and helped me get through each contraction that way. It made a HUGE difference! She was also there for me in any little thing I needed and didn’t hesitate to meet me where I was at. She suggested different things for me to try and wasn’t too pushy or too laid back. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that is giving birth. Having a doula was so beneficial and Lucy was amazing at doing her work. 🥰

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.

Erica and I met at the beginning of my second trimester during my search for a doula. I knew immediately after our first meeting that she was the doula for me. Erica has many years of experience and has a really calming spirit. I shared with her my “calling” to have a natural birth and she was so supportive of my goals. She taught me how to use hypnobirthing techniques during the 6 months prior to my son being born. She also helped me to find resources and learn about my options as well as what questions to ask my doctor. I had an amazing birth experience and believe I was able to achieve a hypnobirth. Erica is unequivocally the best doula in the greater Cincinnati area. You won’t go wrong if you choose her! ❤️

Thank you for stopping by. I am a holistic nurse, doula, childbirth educator, lactation educator, student midwife and an educator here at Birth Fearlessly Academy. I have 10 years of experience supporting families and mother-baby dyads. ​ Above all else, I am a mother to two beautiful children myself. After having two undisturbed home-births and two very different birth experiences - I understand just how essential having the proper support is during these vulnerable events. My goal is to help bridge the gap in education, care and support that families receive. There is no reason every woman should not have an empowering and memorable motherhood experience! ​ Many times, I support families beginning pre-conception, during birth and throughout their fourth trimester. I absolutely love these lasting connections! If you are searching for a holistic-minded doula to support you throughout your unique journey, to lift you up and nurture you - I would love to be that doula for you. I hope to meet many more sisters and life-long friends; for we are the only ones who can create our own village.

This is going to be a long review, but the short version is that Patience is everything I could have ever wanted in a doula. One of the biggest blessings in our birth experience was having her there. She went above and beyond in every way for us. -She provided support, encouragement, and education during my pregnancy -She listened to my husband’s questions and desires, including his desire to catch baby. She spent over 30 minutes in one of our prenatal appointments rehearsing how to catch baby from different birthing positions so that he would feel comfortable and confident -During my labor at home, she was a calm and intuitive presence, knowing exactly when to be hands-off and when to help me. She made sure I stayed hydrated and nourished by cooking food and feeding me and offering liquids between contractions. She encouraged and uplifted me during a 55 hour labor that was long and grueling. -When we could not get rid of my cervical lip at home, she transferred to the hospital with us. She knew what hospital could give us the closest thing to the birth experience that we wanted. She even packed my hospital bag for me and made sure we had everything from phone chargers to food to baby clothes. -Even though she was exhausted and sleep deprived too, she came straight to the hospital and was waiting for us in the delivery room when we got through triage -She was comfortable and confident advocating for my/our wants and needs with the hospital staff. And she could do that so well because she’d taken the time to really get to know us and help us plan the birth we desired and was intimately familiar with what we wanted. -She quickly developed a relationship with my mom who met us at the hospital, and when the staff made my mom leave the room, Patience kept her updated over the next few hours (with our permission of course) so that she wouldn’t worry and so that my husband could focus solely on me. -Throughout my labor at home and my labor/delivery at the hospital, Patience quietly took professional-quality photos of some beautiful and sacred moments that we will treasure always. -She stayed after baby was born for quite a while and made sure we were settled in and taken care of before she left. -I had an unexpectedly difficult postpartum health-wise and Patience was there throughout (long past when her contract ended), providing support, asking after my wellbeing, doing research, offering suggestions, sending reminders, and always sending encouragement. -At my postpartum visit with her, she brought us sweet and thoughtful gifts, including an umbilical cord keepsake and colored prints of my placenta -She encapsulated my placenta for me and did a fantastic job, even down to the detail of using vegetarian capsules due to my health issues. She also makes delicious NORA tea that I drank in my 3rd trimester and postpartum - highly recommend. (I tried another popular brand and it tasted like grass.) There are a million more examples and details I could give you of the way that Patience took care of us so perfectly. I would recommend her to anyone and we will be hiring her again if we are blessed to be able to grow our family further. I am happy to discuss my experience in more detail and/or answer any questions for families considering hiring her!
