Tameka was my doula for my second daughter’s birth. I had a traumatic experience delivering my first daughter, so I chose to have a doula for the birth of my second daughter. She was very helpful during my labor and postpartum. She helped instruct my husband on things he could do to help my pain. She also helped me to advocate for myself while I was in labor. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking to have a doula.

Hi, I'm Emily! I've been a Doula for over two years now, and walking with mothers through pregnancy, birth, and Postpartum has truly become my passion. No matter the outcome, I'm here to support you. I was born and raised in Casey County KY and being able to support moms in my area has been a huge blessing to me, Supporting both Hospital and Homebirths ❤️ Casey county is still where I call home and where I base all my adventures out of. Aside from birthwork, I love hiking, painting, gardening, and a good doughnut! Here's to finding the Beauty in your Birthing Journey. No matter what it looks like. -Emily

Absolutely loved having Emily. She’s excellent at making sure I was informed about every possible thing and talking me through all my fears associated with the birth. Then at birth not only understood all my mumbling but also did comfort measures when she could see I needed them without me trying to say anything. She definitely made the whole experience a breeze and if you’re wondering you definitely need Emily it’s no question. 1,000x recommended her.

I’m Courtney Walkenhorst and I am a birth doula serving the Cincinnati area. I have been serving families for 2.5 years as a doula. I trained through DONA and certified through AWWS. I love to serve all women seeking support in doula care but I have particular soft spots for 2nd time moms seeking a different experience than their first birth, and VBAC clients! I’m a wife and mom of 3 boys. If you’re interested in my business name story, find it here: https://bit.ly/3Znr12e

Courtney was my doula for my little boy born Feb 28, 2022. Courtney was absolutely the best decision we have ever made in regards to birth, I am so thankful I got to have her at my birth and I’m so glad she was our doula. What could have seemed like a chaotic and crazy third VBA2C birth was made calm and achievable from Courtney. I am so glad she was there and she was so helpful in countless ways. She was not only a physical support with self sacrificing hip squeezes and cups of warm water down my back, but also and maybe even more importantly a calm and relaxed voice of reason, a shoulder to cry on, an encouragement when I needed it most and truly the only reason I was able to have a VBAC in a hospital setting. Any woman who chooses Courtney will be blessed by having her at their birth.

Hi! My name is Aubrey, I’m 24, and I am a mama to 3 wild toddlers. My journey to this profession started in 2019 when I had my first born. I had a hospital birth and had no clue what I was doing and neither did my husband. It was a rough experience to say the least. So when I got pregnant with my second baby I wanted things to be different. I did a lot of research and ended up having a home-birth. It was beautiful, I had never been so close to God. I got pregnant again less than a year later and had another beautiful home-birth. I realized that some women never get to feel like I did, I want to change that. I want mamas to feel what it is to have a faith-filled, relaxing, beautiful birth is like. Even if it isn’t at home. Every woman should get to experience what I experienced.

Aubrey was nothing short of wonderful. I had called her to attend my birth very late in pregnancy, she was quick to respond and ready to help where she could. She made sure the room was filled with confidence, encouragement, peace and the love of Jesus. During labor she made sure I had everything I needed close by and quickly, always thinking ahead of how my needs could change. After birth, she was so helpful in getting everything squared away with me and the baby. She also checked on me quite a bit after birth to make sure we were all doing well. ❤️ I look forward to birthing with her again 🥰

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.

Monica was a great Doula for my second birth. She was calming and helpful and reassuring. Her knowledge of counter pressure and alternative pain management methods made active labor without medication possible. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs a calming and helpful presence during childbirth

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 had an amazing experience with Emma! Emma met with me twice prior to birth, once just to get to know each other and then one prenatal appt to go over my birth plan, meet my husband & give us some good tools for my husband to have to be able to be a supportive partner during birth. I chose to have an all natural labor & birth and emma was amazing the second she got to the hospital with setting up my room to be comforting & helping me while in active labor with counter pressure/ applying essential oils topically per my request & encouraging me. Emma made me feel completely comfortable and helped me advocate for what I wanted in labor. She helped me understand multiple options for keeping labor progressing so I could continue with natural labor as I wanted and not have unnecessary medical intervention. Emma helped me in anyway I asked - in the labor tub/ walking around the hospital with me/ praying with me/ advocating for me and everything in between. Emma was an amazing support mentally, physically & spiritually and I cannot recommend her enough. If you are wanting a doula who is calming, encouraging & makes you feel seen & heard no matter what your birth plan then emma is your gal! I had the exact birth I wanted & a perfect healthy baby girl!

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.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Jamie! For my second birth, I decided rather late in the game that I wanted to hire a doula to help me go unmedicated. I can undoubtedly say that I would not have been able to meet my goals without Jamie. In our prenatal visits, she asked all the right questions to understand my goals and preferences. She is incredibly down-to-earth and easy to talk to, which makes a huge difference when planning for such an intense experience. My labor itself had several unexpected turns that felt like setbacks, and Jamie was the steadfast and calm coach I needed when I was doubting myself. She has a ton of tricks up her sleeve - it seemed like she came up with a new comfort measure right when I needed it every time! It is clear that she has vast experience with birth and labor, and I specifically loved that she had lots of experience with natural births at hospitals (vs. home births). I am so happy that God led me to Jamie, she is an excellent doula and an excellent person. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

I hired Liz to be my doula and it was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. She has such a positive and calm demeanor and answered any and all questions I had. She was by my side as much as I felt I needed her and she supported me pre, during and post partum. I am positive that my birth experience would not have gone as smoothly without her guidance and support. She supported my decisions and wishes surrounding my birth plan and even my own healthcare wishes. She is an easy person to be around and you can let your “guard” down and relax when you have Liz on your team. Do yourself a favor and hire her to be your doula!

Hello, my name is Bashy, and I am a passionate and certified doula dedicated to supporting individuals and families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. My role as a doula is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to each client's unique needs. I am trained in techniques that promote comfort during labor, such as breathing exercises, positioning, and massage, and I strive to create a calm and empowering environment for birthing individuals. Beyond labor support, I offer guidance during the prenatal phase, helping families prepare for the birthing experience and navigate any concerns. In the postpartum period, I assist with recovery, breastfeeding, and adjusting to life with a newborn. What inspires me most about being a doula is the privilege of witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing individuals while contributing to their positive birth experiences. I am committed to fostering trust, respect, and confidence, empowering families to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.
