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.

I had the pleasure of having Mary as my doula for my fourth baby. This was my first experience trying for a birth without an epidural. I was nervous going in, but Mary was amazing at providing resources and answering all of my questions prior to the birth. During my actual experience, she was incredible at supporting me and helping me navigate changes we had to make along the way. She also really helped in advocating for me when there were disagreements with my doctor on how to proceed forward. She made me feel so comfortable and supported and helped me achieve the birth I wanted. Postpartum, she ensured I had additional resources for breastfeeding, pumping, and even helped come up with activities to keep my older kids occupied while solo parenting. Overall, I would recommend Mary and her services to any mama looking for an amazing experience.

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

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 🥰

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!

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.

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.
