Staci Dasher

Responds within an hour

Hello! My name is Staci and I am a homebirth midwife. We, my husband and 4 children, have lived in NEOHIO for about 7 years. As a homebirth midwife we are eager to to learn about the family and what moves them to birth at home. We walk with the family throughout pregnancy and give as much information as we can get our hands on to share with them so they can make informed decisions about their birth care. We do all of our visits and care in home. We spend an hour or more if needed at each visit. We cherish this time of intimacy. Health, through food, exercise, and herbs, is our utmost focus. We are continually trying to learn and grow and share with our clients all we can. Some clients prefer to have co-care with an OB OR nurse midwife while others want nothing to do with any hospital care (unless a case of transport). We love to customize our care to our individual families.

I have worked closely with Staci Dasher since January, 2021. First, while apprenticing under her, I learned to appreciate her quiet and calm understanding and teaching of the birth process; watching her engage with clients and discuss the intricacies of how birth unfolds is beautiful to see. Now, as her birth partner I deeply appreciate her commitment to serve families with hands-on, individualized midwifery care and to communicate in ways that ensure that families know they're heard and they are deeply cared for.

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.

I love helping women understand and awaken to their own power in birth. Babies profoundly benefit from their mothers feeling a sense of empowerment and freedom throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. During this meaningful and normal physiological process, there is a hormonal orchestra that helps both mom and baby to dance and shift their way into each other's arms. My goal is to protect this space, offering a balance of privacy vs suggestions and guidance. Part of my expertise lies in recognizing and distinguishing normal from abnormal during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is an honor and privilege to walk beside families in their childbearing seasons and adjust care to fit individual needs.

Review for Shelly As I approached the end of my pregnancy, I started to reconsider the free birth I had been planning and began to explore my options. I came across Shelly through Facebook, and we talked at length about what I had envisioned for this birth. Shelly asked very concise questions in order to acquaint herself with my expectations and to deliver a reasonable response to those expectations. She was thorough and honest. Ultimately we both decided that she would attend my birth and provide me with the hands off approach that I desired in my birth. As my due date came and passed, Shelly was speaking with me daily. She provided me with further reassurance that things were going smoothly. She not only answered my questions, but conferred with other midwives in the community so that she could be certain she was giving me all of the information she had available. Shelly and Staci arrived right on time for my birth, responding immediately to my husbands call. They entered my home peacefully and with the utmost reverence for the birthing space I had created. Their presence was non intrusive, and they waited patiently until my husband and I needed them in the room. Shelly allowed me to birth the way I intuitively desired, and asked to step in when she realized my baby girl wasn’t descending any further. She used her judgment in adjusting my position and assisting me with catching my baby. She provided all the necessary care after delivery, paid great attention to details in checking over my placenta and baby, and allowed my husband and I to get comfortable. Shelly followed up promptly and further provided comfort and care to myself and my newborn. She kindly went over the birth with me and we shared some of our passions and thoughts regarding the experience. Shelly was fantastic, adaptable, and humble. She is a great person, and a great midwife. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get in touch with a midwife, and I truly hope she is able to leave her permanent mark in the birthing community.

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!

October 2026

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!
