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!

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am the owner of Liberty Doula Services based out of Liberty Township, OH. I am also a certified doula and mother of four children. I have a license and Masters in Social Work and prior to becoming a doula, I spent 14 years working as a social worker in the community. While I loved getting to know and work with families, my passion lies in helping and supporting women and families in all stages of pregnancy and early parenthood. After having four unique births of my own, ranging from a hospital induction to a home birth, I realized there is a lack of continuous support for women in our society specifically related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum periods. I believe there are many missed opportunities to help set families up for success, starting with pregnancy and extending through the rest of their lives. I realized this was an opportunity for me to continue to support families in my community, but in a different way. This led me to become a doula. My mission is to walk beside families in my community to help them create gentle and memorable transitions into parenthood. The memories of these days will last a lifetime.

NICU nurse/Newborn Care Specialist/Postpartum Doula I have been an RN for 23+ years. 19 years were spent in the NICU. The last 4 years as a newborn/pediatric home care nurse. I am married with two beautiful girls, one is a teenager and the other a young adult. I can be a caregiver for your whole family. I’m a highly qualified and skilled RN with 19 years of NICU/newborn experience, a compassionate human being, caring, loyal, and last but not least, someone to support your whole Family, create an enjoyable experience in the postpartum period, and facilitate healthy habits for you and your baby, as well as help promote the priceless bond between parents and their new sweet peas. What is the Difference Between a Postpartum Doula & a Newborn Care Specialist? During and after childbirth are both incredibly stressful times for new mothers. Whether you are a first-time mom or not, you might have many questions and anxieties regarding how to best care for your child and how to adjust your lifestyle to fit this new arrival. And while a doctor, midwife, or another medical professional will walk you through childbirth and original aftercare, many moms often wish for additional support as they navigate this new step in life. it comes down to what you, as new parents feel you need the most help with! First, we will discuss in great detail what you are looking for, then go from there!

Hey there, my name is Jasmine Johnston and I’m from Cincinnati, OH. I am a Full Spectrum Doula and Wholistic infant feeding and lactation consultant. I am a proud gardener and crocheter. I also enjoy yoga, herbalism, vegan food, and wholistic health. I’m not new to care taking, I Have 10 Nieces and Nephews and I’ll always say my younger sister was my first baby. However, it was through my first born that I was reborn myself. While pregnant, I gained a passion for birthwork and gardening. I began to understand the importance of getting connected with earth’s essence and supporting each seed towards their fullest potential. In gardening, each seed knows exactly what to do when given the right environment to flourish. I believe in that philosophy for birthing people. I aim to support women in their fully informed power and connection to self through the ancestral ways of breastfeeding, birthing, and wholistic wellness.

Hi!! I am so glad you are here. I am a Doula located in Washington Court House, Ohio. I am married to my best friend & I am a mama to two beautiful little babes.

With me as your Doula, I will not replace your current support system but rather we all work as a one. I will emotionally & physically support you & your family for the new life you are bringing earth side. I would love to bring genuine, evidenced-based support to your pregnancy, birth & postpartum period so that you can savor & appreciate your new chapter in life. I hope to speak with you soon!

Early parenthood requires decision after decision for you and your family. When we work together, I support YOUR choices, but I am alongside you to provide evidence-based information and practical guidance as you navigate the grey (and fuchsia and chartreuse). Inclusive, compassionate care is always my goal; the way our identities intersect with our role as a parent are front of mind as I work with clients. Anti-racist and LGBTQ-affirming service is of the utmost importance to me. I am fueled by deep connection to community, my family, adventure + travel, and caffeine. I am dreaming up a connected, visible network of Cincinnati postpartum resources: our local families need and deserve this.

Hi everyone! I’m the oldest of three so reminding mothers to take time for themselves and helping with children is very natural for me. Doula-ing (whether I knew what it was or not) has always been a theme in my life, and is something that has become very dear to me in the past few years. I’m a firm believer that knowledge is power, and with birth as no exception to that my main focus is always providing evidence based, informative care.
