Deep Roots Doulas was founded in 2015 ! After my third baby was born using a Doula I quickly realized I wanted to be able to serve women and families the same way my doula did for me. We strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment for all expectant families! We honor your wishes while hold space for you in such vulnerable moments of your life. We provide preparation and education tools to help you plan for your birth experience! Then nurture you and support you once labor starts. With 9 years of experience we have attended all types of birth from natural to cesarean births we will be there to guide you and honor your space as you transition into motherhood!

You can find me sipping coffee in a local shop, my head stuffed in a book, hiking and camping throughout the weekends, running, and talking with everyone and anyone about all things birth. Certified through A Woman Who Serves Doula Services (AWWS), I seek to empower women to see their true potential and beauty during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I have been blessed to walk with so many women throughout the last 3 years! I am passionate about how our bodies are so intentionally designed to reflect what we are capable of. A successful labor doesn’t just start at pregnancy, it starts way before! Let’s chat about what it would look like to support you, I’m all in for you 🙂

I am a DONA trained Birth Doula in Louisville, KY and am currently raising three kids, ages 14, 12, and 6, with my husband of 15 years in beautiful Shelby County. I became a Doula in June of 2018 and it is a true passion of mine. I have personally had both natural and medicated birth experiences and I support all births! I believe every birth journey is unique and that's the beauty of your story! After having a doula present for two of my babies, I quickly developed a passion and knew I wanted to be able to support others going through pregnancy and birth. I also know how challenging the Fourth Trimester can be and I l have such a heart to support moms in navigating through that postpartum season. I am also super passionate about educating families and empowering you to be an advocate for yourself. I offer in-home birth education, phone support, and consults for families who want the knowledge and prenatal support, but don't necessarily want the full doula labor and birth presence.

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.

Passionate about pregnancy, labor, birth, feeding babies, postpartum recovery, and empowering birthers in their journey. DONA and Indie Birth trained birth doula, IDI certified CLC, trained in postpartum belly binding, and owner of my own business since 2016.

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.

I offer comprehensive support to new mothers. My expertise includes birth and postpartum packages with in-home visits, breastfeeding support, labor support, emotional and physical recovery assistance, newborn care education, and nutritional guidance. Additionally, I provide specialized services like placenta encapsulation, placenta candies, and various keepsake packages, including placenta and cord keepsakes. These services are designed to help mothers transition smoothly into parenthood while commemorating their unique birth experiences.

As I doula, I take pride in my ultimate goal, to make my client's experience more positive. With over 10 years of experience, I have learned that my personal beliefs of birth are just that, mine. I have grown my skills of empowering families with education and support, giving them the ability to choose what is best for their family. This allows for their preferences to become priority and create the experience that is most positive for them.

Hi, I’m Taylor! I’m a central Kentucky birth doula and social worker dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering birth space for every family. My work is deeply trauma-informed, shaped by both my professional background in social work and my personal birth experiences—a difficult C-section followed by a healing VBAC. These moments taught me the importance of being truly seen, heard, and supported in birth. I specialize in TOLAC, VBAC, and redemptive birth, but my heart is with all families—whether you’re preparing to welcome your first baby or adding to your family with new hopes for your next birth experience. For first-time moms, I provide extra guidance and reassurance, helping you navigate the unknowns of pregnancy and labor with confidence. For those carrying past birth trauma, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process, heal, and step into birth feeling supported and in control. My role as your doula is to listen deeply, advocate for your wishes, and provide continuous emotional and physical support. Every family deserves a birth experience that feels safe, informed, and empowering—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. 💜

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!
