Hi! I am Allison Holloway, licensed massage therapist and owner of Dayton Prenatal Massage. I specialize in pain relief for Moms during pregnancy, during postpartum recovery, and beyond! While my specialty is in helping women who are expecting and recovering from birth, I will also serve women in the process of conception with fertility massage as well as women who are well beyond baby bearing! My heart truly is to meet women where they are at in their journey and help them calm their nervous system, relieve muscular tension and pain, sleep better, and feel good in their body!

April has spent over twenty years working with pregnant people and their babies. Attending over 1,500 births has convinced her that everyone deserves evidence-based information and unconditional support, and that when those things are offered, creating and birthing our babies can be a powerful and transformative experience. This is the foundation of all of her work. April has her masters in midwifery, is a Certified Professional Midwife, IBCLC Lactation Consultant, massage therapist specializing in pregnancy, birth and postpartum with an emphasis on Craniosacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release, and is an author and nutrition coach focusing on women’s health. She is also the founder of the Birth With Spirit Doula Certification program. “April is very gifted! She is helping me through a
difficult pregnancy. She listens and assesses the
problem and is very knowledgeable of the anatomy
and treats the person as a whole. I highly recommend her!” - Linzie Crute

Hey there, my name is Jasmine Johnston and I’m from Cincinnati, OH. I am a Full Spectrum Doula and Wholistic infant feeding and lactation consultant. I am a proud gardener and crocheter. I also enjoy yoga, herbalism, vegan food, and wholistic health. I’m not new to care taking, I Have 10 Nieces and Nephews and I’ll always say my younger sister was my first baby. However, it was through my first born that I was reborn myself. While pregnant, I gained a passion for birthwork and gardening. I began to understand the importance of getting connected with earth’s essence and supporting each seed towards their fullest potential. In gardening, each seed knows exactly what to do when given the right environment to flourish. I believe in that philosophy for birthing people. I aim to support women in their fully informed power and connection to self through the ancestral ways of breastfeeding, birthing, and wholistic wellness.

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 am new to the area of Dayton I also services Columbus and surrounding area, I am taking new clients in Dayton and surrounding area. so please reach out to me, even if it's just questions I also offer encapsulation services

There is truly nothing more empowering than bringing your baby into this world. I believe in the natural process of birth; that mothers are wise, strong, intuitive, & capable. My goal as your doula is to support you, make you feel heard, & encourage & honor you in whatever your preferences may be. My hope is to give you the education & resources to feel confident in your choices, & be a balanced viewpoint throughout your pregnancy & birth. Your birth experience is YOURS. I will always respect that & advocate for YOU.

Hi! I’m a Pediatric Sleep Consultant with 13 years of experience as a nanny and newborn care specialist! I work with new parents to teach them how to help their babies learn healthy sleep habits from day 1 and give them the tools they need to become independent sleepers!

Early parenthood requires decision after decision for you and your family. When we work together, I support YOUR choices, but I am alongside you to provide evidence-based information and practical guidance as you navigate the grey (and fuchsia and chartreuse). Inclusive, compassionate care is always my goal; the way our identities intersect with our role as a parent are front of mind as I work with clients. Anti-racist and LGBTQ-affirming service is of the utmost importance to me. I am fueled by deep connection to community, my family, adventure + travel, and caffeine. I am dreaming up a connected, visible network of Cincinnati postpartum resources: our local families need and deserve this.

Hi There! I'm Arianna Crews and I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist and night nanny servicing Cincinnati, Ohio. With a background in early childhood development I have always been fascinated by how the infant and child mind works and grows. I began my professional childcare career in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, so working under pressure is very familiar to me. Within my practice I aim to curate an environment where new and seasoned parents alike feel comfortable and confident in their abilities, but also have the courage to ask questions! In my day to day life I love all things creative, language learning, and music. A quick fun fact about me: I have loved anime and manga since I was a kid, and I love going to anime conventions!

I started Beyond the Bump Cincy Postpartum Doula services to support families in the Greater Cincinnati area about 3 years ago. We help new families get rest, feel more in control, and figure out how they want to parent. We offer non-medical evidence-based services.

I am Rhonesha Isreal, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I provide lactation services prenatally and postpartum via home visits and virtual appointments. After breastfeeding for 13 months, I recognized the importance of moms and other chest-feeding individuals receiving support throughout their journey. My goal is to support families from the time they are pregnant until they decide to wean their baby (voluntarily or involuntarily). I want moms to feel more confident and secure after working with me. I also want families to know, breastfeeding is not “all or nothing” and being comfortable and confident in their breastfeeding journey will change their daily outlook while they are nursing or expressing milk.

Hi! I am a birth and postpartum doula who is passionate about helping you have a more supported journey into parenthood. I am a queer woman who also supports LGBTQ+ folks on their fertility journeys. My husband and I welcomed a son into our family last September. We enjoy going on walks with our dog and getting outside. Coffee is life and I love checking out new coffee shops. Hope to connect with you soon.
