Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Lexington, KY. My work focuses on 3 pillars of support during the birthing year! Education: knowing your options and planning for your ideal birth experience and the unexpected. A great way to avoid a traumatic birth experience is to be really educated about your options before you go into labor! Advocacy: knowing what you want and making sure that is respected and supported. It's your birth and you're in charge! Recovery: postpartum is a gift to reset your health, but this requires rest, nourishment and establishing new routines with your new baby. I will help you make a plan before baby arrives and implement it after you give birth!

I run a statewide nonprofit doula agency. We have nearly 50 doulas all over the state of Kentucky. We work with all demographics and truly have a doula for everyone. Reach out today to see if we can help provide you your best fit!

Hi there! My name is Philippa Asherwood Jenkins and I'm the doula behind Bluegrass Birthways. Birth and babies are two things I've always been drawn to. As I've gone on to experience my own babies' births, my passion for informed choice in pregnancy and childbirth has grown dramatically. As a doula, I provide tailored support throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Through client-centered care, I aim to empower women to take control of their birth experience. My goal is to help you feel informed, confident and listened to every step of the way! When I'm not doulaing, I can be found helping on my family's farm or loving on my kiddos. My long term goal is to become a Certified Professional Midwife and support home birthing women in KY. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! Every woman deserves a doula.

Hello, My name is Merissa Khumalo, and I am an educator and long-term nanny turned Birth and Postpartum Doula! I have a passion for holistic health and have experience with families of many different backgrounds. I feel called to this career and can use my skills to support families from conception to contraction and beyond! I am knowledgeable in herbalism, nutrition, exercise, breastfeeding, essential oils, sleep training, baby-led weaning, cloth diapering, chronic illness support, healthy home practices, and so much more! 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!

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, 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. 💜

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.

Hello, and welcome! I’m Allison Riddle and I’m a passionate Doula, Postpartum Doula and Epidoula supporting moms in Georgetown, KY and surrounding counties! I also provide support with lactation & education. I’m dedicated to empowering women to embrace their birth experiences fully. My first birth turned into an unexpected emergency c-section, which really made me advocate for myself during my second pregnancy. I was able to achieve a successful VBAC and then went on to have an unmedicated VBAC with my third. It was through those experiences that gave me the passion & desire to help other mom’s achieve the birth that they so long for. By providing comprehensive education and support, I help you better understand your options and make informed decisions. My goal is to ensure that you are an active participant in your birth experience, along with walking alongside you during your prenatal & postpartum periods.

I strive to support your birth to be a beautifully, positive experience for you and your partner as we work together towards your plans and goals. I am currently attending child birth education classes and have completed postpartum education as well. I strive to serve your fourth trimester as a full experience and beautiful Precious Transition to motherhood.

Hello all! I am Monica Piton, and it is my absolute joy to work as a labor and postpartum doula, as well as provide lactation support. With every family I work alongside, my goal is to provide knowledge, experience, and support to empower you to make confident and peaceful decisions in your birthing process. Learning about human growth and development has always fascinated me, leading me to earn my undergraduate degree in Biology and my Masters of Education. Becoming pregnant with my first daughter fueled this passion further as I was eager to learn more about physiological birthing. I enrolled in a Hypnobabies course in awe of our natural ability to create and birth life. Equipped with this education and a strong support system–including my own doula–I was able to birth both of my daughters in a way that aligned with my values and was both beautiful and calm. It is my hope to be part of this support system for other women to allow their births to be full of empowerment, excitement, and joy.
