Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Kentucky

Hello! I’m Monica, a God-fearing Army wife and mother of two beautiful children. I have a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science and am a trained DONA birth doula working toward certification! Baby wearing, cloth diapering, and pregnancy nutrition are a couple of my favorite research topics. After I had my first child, I wanted to help support women in the best ways I could. There are so many questions and anxieties around pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum that I felt called to help bring comfort and peace to women through such a sanctifying time. All life is sacred, both mother and baby. Doulas have been shown to have a positive impact on mothers feeling supported and having a positive birth experience. No matter what choices a woman may make for herself and her child, I strive to listen, support, and care for all lives involved. Reach out to me if you are looking for a doula in the Hopkinsville, KY and surrounding areas! I would be honored to support you and your family in this season of your life.

More than a decade ago, I answered a quiet but persistent calling to walk alongside women during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. My journey began as a doula and eventually led me through nursing school, hospital maternity care, home birth, birth centers, breastfeeding support, childbirth education, and medical advocacy. Along the way, I have had the privilege of attending hundreds of births and supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the many decisions that shape these experiences. These years have taught me that while knowledge matters, information alone is not enough. Women need relationship. They need support. They need space to ask questions, explore their options, and reconnect with the wisdom that already lives within them. I believe pregnancy and birth are not simply medical events. They are profound rites of passage that invite a woman to grow in strength, discernment, and trust. My role is not to tell you what choices to make. My role is to help you understand your options, cultivate confidence in your decision-making, and prepare for motherhood from a place of love rather than fear. Whether you are planning a home birth, preparing for a hospital birth, navigating a VBAC, seeking breastfeeding support, or simply looking for a trusted guide, I bring both clinical experience and deep respect for the innate design of mothers and babies. The women I serve are not looking to be managed. They are looking to be informed, supported, and seen. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you prepare to welcome your baby and step more fully into the mother you were created to become.

Hi there! My name is Katie Sam Smith. I am a birth doula based in Bowling Green, KY and serving the surrounding KY/TN area. I am passionate about matrescence and want to help my clients envision and accomplish the birth of their dreams! I am a mom to a miracle baby, and my pregnancy involved a very rare diagnosis, fetal surgery, bedrest, and a NICU stay (when my original plan was a homebirth!). I am well aware of how vulnerable and scary this season of life can be. But I also know that your body and your baby were MADE to do this! My goal is not to teach you how to birth, make choices for you, or replace your partner. My goal is to provide you with information as well as physical, emotional, and spiritual support so that you can feel confident walking into your birth. I have been told that I instinctively know how to support my clients, and that I am a calming presence. Due to my son's diagnosis, I am also a veteran at communicating with medical personnel and advocating for those in vulnerable situations. Reach out today to schedule a free interview (call, text, or message through the site)! I am happy to support clients regardless of birthing preferences, marital status, religion, etc. I am comfortable in hospitals, birthing centers, and in homes and will travel on a case-by-case basis. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and I look forward to hearing from you!

As a doula and birth advocate for almost 15 years, I am committed to providing the best care to my clients. I pride myself on being a constant student of physiological birth and how to manifest that. While on my journey to be a Midwife I have enjoyed taking that extra knowledge and passing it down to my clients. So that they are fully informed in the choices they are making about what they want their birth to look and feel like.

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.

I will help you sing, shout, and let it all out during birth while acting professionally as your biggest advocate--whether you decide on a home or hospital birth. I will support you with nourishing meals, pelvic floor exercises, and positive affirmations in the postpartum period and even help you get your baby on a schedule that gives you peace of mind as you recover. In my free time, I love playing tabletop games, reading books, crafting, and trying new recipes!

Aloha, parents! I’m Jenna Clarke. My husband & I have two beautiful daughters plus an adorable Miniature Schnauzer, and we all love to sleep. I was born and raised in Hawai’i, our girls were born in New Zealand (where my husband is from), and we recently moved to Lexington, Kentucky for a new adventure. I am an experienced pediatric sleep consultant, birth & postpartum doula, and advanced newborn care specialist. I truly believe that sleep is a foundation for our overall well being. Rested parent(s) and baby can recover quicker from birth, and the household is happier. You CAN get your child to sleep, and I can help. I have been coaching friends and clients for the past 13 years on how to achieve the sweet gift of sleep. It brings me so much joy because I know it is life-changing. For newborns, having a plan for establishing sleep hygiene and gently conditioning baby to sleep is important. For older infants, toddles and preschoolers, I utilize a range of methods (both responsive and traditional) to achieve your sleep goals. I meet with each of my clients to tailor an approach that resonates best with your parenting style and capacity. I provide virtual and in-home pediatric sleep consulting services to families across the country. Looking forward to working with you.
