Hi, it’s nice to meet you! 
Whether you’re exploring sexual education, expecting, experiencing loss, or navigating early parenthood, I’m here to provide guidance, comfort, and unwavering support. Utilizing my understanding of compassionate care, evidence-based knowledge, and personalized support, I aim to create a nurturing environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to have the experience you desire. I have years of experience participating as a peer educator with Planned Parenthood and have spent the last five years being fascinated with birth work. At the start of 2024, I started training with Doula Trainings International to become a Full Spectrum Doula. When I am not working, I enjoy being in nature on hikes or kayaking, spending time with my closest friends, and experimenting in the kitchen. Can't wait to get to know you :)

Hello everyone, It has been a while since I’ve done an introduction post. I am very happy you’re here and looking into having a doula by your side while going through the most beautiful experiences of life. ••• A little about me, I am twenty-five years old. My husband and I have two daughters. They are our pride and joy with the perfect mix of sassy and sweet. ••• I myself had a very traumatic birth in 2021 and I am very thankful for it because it has led me here, helping other mommas and doing what I have been called to do. I am a Christian Certified Doula located in the state of Ohio. As a doula, I will share all I know about pregnancy, birth, postpartum and newborn care one on one and through my page. ••• I will help you decide on a birth plan, prepare physically and mentally for birth and postpartum…As well as so much more. You deserve peace of mind whether this is your first baby or your last. ••• Having a doula throughout pregnancy has statistically been shown to shorten labor, instill confidence and trust in your body and your care team, as well as preventing unnecessary interventions. ••• I help families all over Ohio prepare for birth both virtually and locally so that parents can have the gift of readiness and ease. ••• Please check out my new website as well as my updated schedule for the next few months. ••• I am excited to continue this journey on supporting moms and helping them advocate for themselves.

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. I became a Doula because every birthing person deserves to have the support they desire. I love helping expecting & postpartum moms so they can be informed, confident & love motherhood from the start. 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!

A Natural!! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to have Kathryn at my daughter’s birth. From the moment she showed up she was very in tune with what I needed and when I needed it such as helping coach me with my breathing, knowing the exact spot I needed pressure during contractions, and empowering me when it was time to push. I would recommend her one thousand times over!

I'm a Christian DONA International doula, serving families in the SW Ohio area. I am a mother of five children, I have had home births, natural hospital birth, and medicated births. I have also assisted as a doula at homebirths. I have spent years collecting information and resources regarding birth, nutrition, and how best to support healing after birth. I have amassed a wealth of knowledge but I am constantly learning and love to guide other women to information so they can make the best decisions possible for their family. I provide birth education and as your labor coach I want to help empower you to have information and understanding surrounding physiological birth so that you can have an amazing labor and delivery. I also provide postpartum planning and resources to help you adjust to life after birth and enter parenthood for the first, third, or fifth time. I want you and your family to thrive and I understand the challenges that come with growing your family.

Hannah was a calm presence at my birth, she was quiet and helped the room to feel quiet and calm. She anticipated my needs and gave helpful suggestions for labor positions and breathing techniques. Hannah was able to show my husband how to apply counter pressure, and I believe her presence helped shorten my labor.
