Greetings, my name is Deserie Hurt I am a traveling doula. I am passionate about being a birthworker. I believe that educating and encouragement are fundamental in your birthing process regardless if this is your 1st birth or your 5th. I want every client to feel empowered and an active participant with their birthing process. I am based in the Cleveland area, however, I accept all Ohio Medicaid products and Tricare East. I accept private pay clients in the state of Ohio, throughout the United States, US Territories and Canada. Yes this birth doula travels!

I honestly can’t thank Deserie enough for everything she did for me during labor and delivery. ❤️🥹 As a first-time mom, I was going through so many emotions. I was nervous, scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to expect, but having her by my side made such a huge difference. She was there to support me, encourage me, comfort me, and remind me that I was stronger than I thought. Labor is such a vulnerable and emotional experience, especially when you’re becoming a mom for the very first time. Having someone who genuinely cares about you, understands what you’re going through, and makes sure you feel supported is priceless. She made me feel less alone and gave me the reassurance I needed during some of my hardest moments. I will forever be grateful for the love, patience, kindness, and support she showed me while I brought my baby girl into this world. 💕🥹 Becoming a mother for the first time is a moment I will never forget, and having Deserie as part of my birth journey made it even more special. I truly don’t think I could ever fully put into words how much her support meant to me and my family.

Alyssa Taylor Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Ohio, last 60 days

I am a Certified Professional Midwife, Certified International Midwife, Licensed Midwife, Certified Labor Doula, Certified Lactation Specialist, university educator, published author, and researcher with over 1,000 births attended. I am now mostly retired from midwifery practice and accept repeat midwifery clients only. I am currently accepting new clients for birth support at Summa Health in Akron. Occasionally, I will consider support at another hospital. If you would like to discuss this possibility, please feel free to send me a message here or via my website. I have supported families as a doula for many years, beginning prior to midwifery school and continuing throughout my midwifery career. I bring the knowledge of a midwife and the presence of a doula, walking with you from early pregnancy through those tender first weeks postpartum. I intentionally limit my calendar so that when your labor begins, I am fully rested and able to focus entirely on you. I am a wife, a mother of four, mother-in-law, and a proud grandmother of two. I know firsthand how much this season of life matters, and I would be honored to be part of yours.

After two cesareans, I was really hoping for a vaginal birth, and having Alyssa as my doula made all the difference. I had worked with another doula previously, and Alyssa’s knowledge, experience, and calm encouragement made it immediately apparent that she is unique. She helped me feel confident and supported throughout both my pregnancy and labor. Whenever I had a question, she responded quickly with a thorough answer. As a medical provider myself, I deeply appreciated her evidence-based approach. She was amazing at helping with positioning, comfort, and ensuring I fully understood my options. I got the VBAC I had hoped for, and I am so grateful she was part of such an incredible experience. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Deserie is the definition of professional. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable & thorough, but also tremendously compassionate, caring, & comforting. It was very clear to us from minute one that she would go above & beyond for us the way that she did. Our son’s delivery was challenging to say the least, but Deserie’s drive to be there for us every step of the way made our experience exponentially better. She is as genuine a person as you will find in life & we wholeheartedly recommend Deserie to anyone that is fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with her!
