Hi, everyone! My name is Phoebe Lapps, I am a CAPPA Certified Birth Doula and CAPPA Trained Postpartum Doula in the Cincinnati, OH area. I have been fascinated by birth work since I was a child! I worked as a nanny for many years and loved supporting moms and babies, and now I am extremely passionate about empowering women with evidence-based support in the sacred birth space, offering compassion, comfort and encouragement. I want every mom to feel seen, heard and supported in her vision of her birth. I work with an amazing group of doulas at Nurture. We have a beautiful space in Hyde Park, where we offer 3D Ultrasounds, Hypnobirthing Classes, Massage Therapy, Prenatal Yoga, Postpartum Mom's Groups, and more. We would love to support you on your journey to meeting your baby!

Cheryl Bartone, MS, HCHI, CLD Cheryl brings a unique element to the birthing world with her passion for health-sciences and her love of natural solutions. She graduated from University of Cincinnati College of Medicine with a Master’s degree in Epidemiology and has worked for The Christ Hospital in a research setting. The birth of Cheryl’s two children had such a positive impact on her that she decided to train with CAPPA to become a labor doula. She wants nothing more than to support women so they, too, can have the births of their dreams. Since hypnosis was the tool that she used to have her own joyful births she completed her training with Hypnobabies to become a certified Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor. When she’s not working on statistics or supporting a mother in birth, you can find Cheryl alongside her chef husband helping him with a catering event. You may even find her playing video games with her children, walking her dogs, or digging in the garden.

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.

Hi, I'm Kay! I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a proud member of Marigold Birth Collective. My doula practice is centered around evidence based education, a strong belief that every birth can be improved by support, and a deep passion for learning and advocacy. One of my biggest goals as a doula is to convince the world that all birthing people can use a doula - doulas are not just for unmedicated births, vaginal births, or "crunchy" home births. I DO support those, but I also enthusiastically support medicated births, planned inductions, c-sections, VBACS, and all other flavors of birth. All birth deserves empowerment, education, and advocacy. My personal birth experiences with inductions, epidurals, VBAC, and planned c-section make me particularly suited to support these types of clients. In my free time, I love crafting, wrangling my three sons, and seeing live music with my husband.

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!

Hello! My name is Brittany Thomas. I am a jack-of-all-trades mother of nine children (and soon to be grandma!) I have always had a passion for helping women and children in my community with a special focus on first time mothers. I had counseled at a crisis pregnancy center for 6 years and unofficially supported close friends and family members through pregnancy, labor, birth, breastfeeding, postpartum and parenting for the last 15 years. I then finally decided to make a career out of it and I am now a Ceritfied Birth Doula through DONA. I had my first child at 19 and knew almost nothing about pregnancy, labor and birth which resulted in a very difficult and traumatic delivery and postpartum. After that experience I was determined to research and learn everything I could about human anatomy, the female body and reproductive system, pregnancy, labor, birth and breastfeeding. I went on to carry and give birth to 6 more children (and breastfeed all of them) each of them having unique challenges which provided me with invaluable experience. It is my dream to see a time in which education and caring personal support of women, from pregnancy through postpartum, is normal and accessible to all. I would love the opportunity to help you feel prepared and educated to face the various challenges labor and childbirth presents. I will be there to support you through labor and delivery and cultivate peace and confidence no matter what type of birth you have.

difficult pregnancy. She listens and assesses the
problem and is very knowledgeable of the anatomy
and treats the person as a whole. I highly recommend her!” - Linzie Crute

Hello!! My name is Payton Anderson. I’m a California native currently living in Ohio due to military life, and I’ve been married to my husband for three years after being together since our freshman year of high school. I’m 22 years old and have a deep passion for women’s health, birth, and lactation—work that truly feels like my calling. I am a trained birth doula who has completed my doula education and am currently working toward certification through DONA International. This certification requires attendance and documentation of three births from both myself and the families I support. Because of this, I am offering my birth doula services at a discounted rate while completing these requirements. While I may be early in my professional doula journey, I am confident, well-educated, and fully committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and continuous support throughout your labor and birth experience. In addition to birth support, I am also on the pathway to becoming an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). This means I bring strong foundational and developing lactation knowledge into the birth space, allowing me to support early breastfeeding goals, comfort measures, and informed decision-making immediately after birth. I want to note that my services are specifically focused on birth doula support. At this time, I do not offer postpartum doula services, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to supporting you through pregnancy, labor, and birth. My goal is to create a calm, informed, and empowering birth experience where you feel supported, respected, and confident in your choices. It would be an honor to walk alongside you during such a meaningful moment in your life

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.
