Kristin Heywood

Hello! Thank you for being here! My name is Kristin, I’ve been on a mission to encourage women to take back birth and own their unique stories through yoga, breath, reiki, Ayurveda healing and traditional remedies. *Please note I only companion women in births at home outside the system*

Dearest Kristin, I am writing you to thank you for the gift you have given my family, myself specifically. It was a no brainer investing in a doula for this second pregnancy, and everyone was right - we had no regrets picking you! A clear comfortable contract didn’t prepare me for the support you provided. Though we hired you for post-partum care, you were a support during my very hard pregnancy. You provided me validation, connection, spiritual healing, not to mention the massages my body so desperately needed! Deciding whether to be induced was a huge mountain for us. I was high risk and my body had enough. You helped me understand my decision with love and compassion. You were so flexible with scheduling to respond to my extended hospital stay. You supported me through the phone and I felt safe leaving the hospital to come home to your care. A day with you nourished our family physically and spiritually. We were so shattered from the trauma of the birth and extended stay in the hospital. You supported our sleep, eating, and encouraged ways for us to connect while we were transitioning to a bigger family. Cooking for us, cleaning for us, yoga with my toddler while my husband and I could regroup. Having you for a few overnights helped so much with my healing and recovery. I am so grateful for investing in my recovery and choosing you. Anna

Having Jennifer by my side during my pregnancy and birth was one of the best decisions I made. She provided constant encouragement, emotional support, and practical guidance that helped me feel calm and confident throughout labor. Her reassuring presence made such a difference, and she always respected my birth preferences while working alongside my healthcare team. I truly felt cared for every step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to any expecting parent looking for a compassionate and supportive doula."

I am a birth worker since 2012, I have provided a variety of services in a variety of settings around the world. I am located in Toronto, Canada, but I am available to travel for minimum one month commitments. I have worked in Macau & Hong Kong, Manila, Nairobi, Vancouver, and Guadalajara, and have a global perspective on birth physiology and traditions. I provide trauma-informed, and culturally safe care, be it education, lactation support, birth and postpartum doula services, or midwifery care. I’m available as a midwife only where a license isn’t required. My approach is very collaborative—rather than “save” you from unsafe practitioners, I prefer to work with you comprehensively in the prenatal period to be sure you have the environment you need for a peaceful and satisfying (physiologic, if possible) birth. My years and depth of experience and knowledge sets me apart from most locally-focused doulas, so I tend to work well with expats and globe-trotters like myself. My happy place is home in Ontario in the near North, at the cottage that has been a part of my family’s experience for 100+ years. I love all animals but especially dogs, and I ADORE drinking coffee and discussing big ideas.

If you want the best, hire Christy. Where to begin? We LOVED working with Christy. If you’re reading these reviews wondering if you should have her as your doula, you definitely should. Our experience with Christy was nothing short of extraordinary. After the birth, I described Christy to my husband as our angel - as it felt that she magically appeared and blended in, giving just the right level of support and guidance, without being overbearing or intrusive. Her presence felt very natural and she completely put myself and my husband at ease. Christy played a pivotal role in helping me establish breastfeeding, which really helped set us up for success with feeding, and having her there to help with this immediately after the birth was invaluable. After our daughter was born, Christy continued to check in with us, and we felt extremely well looked after. She is clearly an expert both in caring for mothers in the postpartum period, but also in caring for newborns, and her years of experience meant we felt in very capable hands. Her dedication to postpartum care is unmatched, and her deep understanding of the emotional and physical needs of both the birthing person and their partner is truly remarkable. Christy’s passion for what she does shines through in every interaction, and her knowledge in perinatal care is both comforting and empowering. I give Christy my highest recommendation – any family would be very lucky to have her as part of their parenting journey!

Bonnie Ledford

In Hebrew, "Qavah" means to wait, hope, and expect. That’s my primary intention alongside the families I serve. I support parents through pregnancy, birth, and those intense, beautiful early weeks postpartum. I'm all about safe, evidence-based care that respects your choices and honors your unique birth journey. I'm here to listen, support, and care for you every step of the way. I've spent over 25 years in women's health, community health, and hospice care. Practicing midwifery has been my lifelong dream. My true passion is partnering with women throughout their entire health journey. After years of working within the hospital system, I chose to return birth to its natural setting: the home. I believe that birth is not a crisis to be managed, but a powerful, transformative experience that deserves time, trust, and tenderness. When I'm not supporting growing families, I'm usually outdoors exploring, whether it be traveling to a new place, hiking a trail, skiing a powdery slope, or out on the water kayaking. At home, you can find me looking up new recipes, baking, or drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying a good conversation.

Our family is so thankful for Bonnie! I felt very safe and supported with Bonnie's calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge . Although this was my 6th child, it was our first home birth. I only wish that Bonnie had been a resource for the prevous births. I cannot speak highly enough of her!

I love helping women understand and awaken to their own power in birth. Babies profoundly benefit from their mothers feeling a sense of empowerment and freedom throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. During this meaningful and normal physiological process, there is a hormonal orchestra that helps both mom and baby to dance and shift their way into each other's arms. My goal is to protect this space, offering a balance of privacy vs suggestions and guidance. Part of my expertise lies in recognizing and distinguishing normal from abnormal during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is an honor and privilege to walk beside families in their childbearing seasons and adjust care to fit individual needs.

Review for Shelly As I approached the end of my pregnancy, I started to reconsider the free birth I had been planning and began to explore my options. I came across Shelly through Facebook, and we talked at length about what I had envisioned for this birth. Shelly asked very concise questions in order to acquaint herself with my expectations and to deliver a reasonable response to those expectations. She was thorough and honest. Ultimately we both decided that she would attend my birth and provide me with the hands off approach that I desired in my birth. As my due date came and passed, Shelly was speaking with me daily. She provided me with further reassurance that things were going smoothly. She not only answered my questions, but conferred with other midwives in the community so that she could be certain she was giving me all of the information she had available. Shelly and Staci arrived right on time for my birth, responding immediately to my husbands call. They entered my home peacefully and with the utmost reverence for the birthing space I had created. Their presence was non intrusive, and they waited patiently until my husband and I needed them in the room. Shelly allowed me to birth the way I intuitively desired, and asked to step in when she realized my baby girl wasn’t descending any further. She used her judgment in adjusting my position and assisting me with catching my baby. She provided all the necessary care after delivery, paid great attention to details in checking over my placenta and baby, and allowed my husband and I to get comfortable. Shelly followed up promptly and further provided comfort and care to myself and my newborn. She kindly went over the birth with me and we shared some of our passions and thoughts regarding the experience. Shelly was fantastic, adaptable, and humble. She is a great person, and a great midwife. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get in touch with a midwife, and I truly hope she is able to leave her permanent mark in the birthing community.

Staci Dasher

Responds within an hour

Hello! My name is Staci and I am a homebirth midwife. We, my husband and 4 children, have lived in NEOHIO for about 7 years. As a homebirth midwife we are eager to to learn about the family and what moves them to birth at home. We walk with the family throughout pregnancy and give as much information as we can get our hands on to share with them so they can make informed decisions about their birth care. We do all of our visits and care in home. We spend an hour or more if needed at each visit. We cherish this time of intimacy. Health, through food, exercise, and herbs, is our utmost focus. We are continually trying to learn and grow and share with our clients all we can. Some clients prefer to have co-care with an OB OR nurse midwife while others want nothing to do with any hospital care (unless a case of transport). We love to customize our care to our individual families.

I have worked closely with Staci Dasher since January, 2021. First, while apprenticing under her, I learned to appreciate her quiet and calm understanding and teaching of the birth process; watching her engage with clients and discuss the intricacies of how birth unfolds is beautiful to see. Now, as her birth partner I deeply appreciate her commitment to serve families with hands-on, individualized midwifery care and to communicate in ways that ensure that families know they're heard and they are deeply cared for.

Mimi made THE difference between a potentially distressing and re-traumatizing birth experience, and a powerful memory I can look back on with pride and joy for the rest of my life. I personally had planned for a home birth but ended up needing to be in the hospital due to PROM. Mimi knew and cared about my birth plan and helped me achieve a birth that still felt as close as possible to the type of birth I was hoping to have. She also really honed in on the type of emotional and physical support that I needed in a very personalized way. My midwives were very impressed with her knowledge and presence, and literally told me to "recommend her to everyone" so that's what I am doing. Thank you Mimi!

I cannot recommend Isabel Nantaba enough as a birth and postpartum doula. From the moment we met her, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and compassion that immediately put me at ease. During labor, Isabel provided unwavering support, intuitive guidance, and gentle encouragement, helping me feel empowered and informed every step of the way. Her care didn’t end after birth; she was a constant source of support during the postpartum period. She helped me navigate the early days with practical advice, emotional reassurance, and hands-on assistance, making the transition to parenthood so much smoother and less overwhelming.

October 2026

We had an amazing experience with Nina and cannot recommend her highly enough. Her hypnobirthing classes were incredibly helpful and gave us the knowledge, techniques, and confidence to feel prepared for the birth of our daughter. During labour, Nina was calm, caring, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She knew exactly when to guide us, reassure us, and help my wife through the difficult moments. As a husband, I also really appreciated having her there—her experience and support made a huge difference for both of us. We are truly grateful that Nina was part of such an important moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Nina, for everything you did for our family!
