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!

I am an internationally published birth photographer with over a decade of experience in birth work.

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 🙂

Hello there! I have been a registered nurse for over 30 years but my passion is for birth work. I have certifications in breastfeeding education, doula support, placental encapsulation and several others. My family just moved to Ohio this past Spring and I'm looking forward to serving a new community.

HI. I’m Abbey, the other half of Kindred, a doula partnership I share with my amazing sister-in-law! I am a wife to my long-time boyfriend, a mother to two wild & free girls, a sister, a friend, a nurse, a small business owner, a musician, &, most recently & excitingly, a doula. I live in the rural greater Dayton area on a piece of land back a long lane, nestled against a wood of trees. It’s becoming my oasis, my resting place, our haven to grow and make memories. I am a lover of adventure and the term “settling down” or “forever home” has always terrified me, but the past few years of some intense grief and loss have taught me that a quiet space to grow into your own, to rest, is a gift and a privilege. I am grateful. My mothering tendency is becoming. With the birth of my first came the birth of my mama heart and a wonder beyond wonder. I surprised myself with the way this season was becoming my absolute best one yet. A cumulation of immense loss and grief, another pregnancy, and the birth of my second baby girl, was followed by a season of despair, as I can now call it looking back. A miscarriage followed and left me bare bones and not thriving. Today I find myself growing into who I am as a mama. I find great joy in watching my girls grow and become, great anxiety in the “what ifs” of their little lives, and am overstimulated way easier than I ever imagined possible. You’ll find us playing in the woods, splashing in water of some kind, taking trips to the library & coffee shop, making so many random breakfasts/lunches, meeting with friends, playing dress-up or make-believe of one kind of another, & soaking up the sunshine. When I’m not mumming, I’ll be reading, playing guitar, walking, working as a homecare nurse, having deep conversations with my guy, waxing nostalgic, drinking black coffee or red wine, & eating fruit of some kind, or recently more than ever, sitting & staring to find some mental rest (anyone else?). It’s so good to meet you here. I am so honored to be entering this sacred space of pregnancy, birth, & womanhood, & am looking forward to getting to know you. We’re here for it all, and want more than anything for this to become a “soft space to land”. I pursued my birth doula and lactation support training with a DONA certified doula, and am now pursuing certification myself. I am also a RN-BSN. Although I am not operating from this title while in the birth doula space, I do bring this background and experience.

I love to serve expectant and new parents with beautiful heirloom maternity, newborn and milestone/family photos that will only increase in value as time passes and our little ones change!

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.
