Hello! I'm Mandee, the owner of "She Must Be Loved Doula Services" My name "Mandee" translates to “she must be loved” or “worthy of love,” which inspired the title of my christian based private doula practice: She Must Be Loved Doula Services. I firmly believe that every mother deserves to feel cherished throughout her journey into motherhood, from preparation to the birthing experience and beyond. While I value the moments spent with newborns, my primary focus is on supporting and uplifting mothers. Although I am newer to the role of a doula -I believe I bring valuable insights derived from my doula training that acquired through the "A woman who serves" doula training program, virtual and in-person care I've provided, as well as my personal experiences as a mother of three daughters. My first daughter was born in London, England; my second in Boston, Massachusetts; and my third in Dublin, Ohio. Throughout this journey, I have been fortunate to receive prenatal midwifery care, with my first daughter delivered by midwives and, continued midwifery support for my subsequent children. The knowledge I gained from this experience was invaluable. Unfortunately, my exceptional midwife could not attend the birth of my second daughter, and I was cared for by an OBGYN. This experience taught me the vital importance of receiving love and compassion from your care provider during childbirth. Despite feeling mistreated by the OBGYN in Boston, I recognize my inherent worthiness of love and compassion, which I strive to extend to others. My third daughter was also delivered with the assistance of an OBGYN here in Ohio. That experience was notably more positive because I found my voice, and my husband and I became strong advocates for my needs and desires. I have learned a lot from my birthing experiences, both overseas and in the United States. I am dedicated to ensuring that other women have the best possible birthing experience. A mother must feel loved to foster a positive and empowering environment. The four pillars of doula support include physical support, emotional support, informational support, and advocacy. Additionally, I aspire to introduce a fifth pillar that holds special significance for me: spiritual support. I will earnestly pray for you, your baby, your family, and your birth experience throughout this transformative journey. God Bless, Mandee Rohn

Mandee was an absolute necessity for my non-epidural induction birth. Having heard horror stories about induction contractions, I began to doubt my unmedicated birth plan when I unexpectedly needed an induction around 39 weeks. Now on the other side of it, I’m so happy I get to tell a beautiful story of a relatively peaceful, controlled, and cathartic birthing experience. Mandee provided constant attention and care to help me stay calm in-control, and informed of my options. She has such a sweet and comforting demeanor and her suggestions and encouragement were always timely. I truly feel I couldn’t have had such a great birth experience without her. I tell all my expecting mom friends about her now and know she’s going to have such a powerful impact on so many more women and families :)

Lea Azeltine Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Ohio, last 60 days

Responds within an hour

I’m Lea. A wife, mother, and birth doula (DONA trained). Long before I found birth work, I found myself drawn to supporting women through transformation. I began my career as a fitness coach after spending years healing my own relationship with my body and food. As I learned and grew, it became deeply meaningful to help other women navigate their own journeys with confidence and self-trust. Over time, I felt called to go deeper. I continued my education and began working with women through mindset and trauma-informed healing. My passion became helping women reconnect with themselves, uncover who they truly were beneath the noise, and step into the next chapter of their lives with intention. That work eventually led me to host transformational retreats in Costa Rica, guiding women through some of the most meaningful seasons of growth and change. Then came my own transformation: motherhood. After experiencing pregnancy, birth, and postpartum for myself, everything clicked into place. My doula played such an important role in my journey, and becoming a mother changed me in ways I never could have anticipated. Looking back, I can see that every chapter of my work had been preparing me for this one. Birth is about so much more than having a baby. It is a threshold. A crossing-over. A moment that asks something of you and leaves you forever changed. Supporting women through that transformation feels like the most natural expression of everything I’ve ever cared about. It is an incredible privilege to walk alongside families during one of the most vulnerable, powerful, and life-changing experiences they will ever have. My hope is that I can be the doula who helps you cross the threshold into the next version of yourself.

She helped me step outside of my thoughts / internal chatter and view them from a 3rd person perspective, creating such a breath of fresh air for my mental health. She will change your life i promise! <3

From the moment I had the initial interview with Lauren, I instantly clicked with her and knew she had to be part of my birth team! The knowledge, resources, and support she provided gave me a greater sense of confidence to approach birth and early motherhood while her calm, gentle, and reassuring presence allowed both my partner and I to feel physically and emotionally supported. She made me feel so seen and heard throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Her work is passionate and intentional. I am so grateful to have had Lauren as my doula!

I started thinking about hiring a night nurse or nanny before I even got pregnant again, but never in a million years did I think I would actually meet someone I felt like I could truly trust with my baby (especially after suffering severe postpartum anxiety with my first) - that was until I met with Kinsey. I immediately felt a connection with her and after chatting for a bit, knew without a doubt I could count on her to care for my baby. Not only did she have the right background, but hearing her “why” behind starting this business helped seal the deal for me. Kinsey truly has a passion for not only caring for babies, but us mamas as well. After Kinsey left our interview, my husband and I decided to sign a 6 week contract with her. During those 6 weeks, she was unavailable for 2 of them due to traveling (this was disclosed ahead of time during our meeting). She let me know she had a couple other options for us to cover for her during that time, although she was the only pediatric RN. Kinsey knew how much this put me at ease, and she even asked if I wanted to meet one of her colleagues at her doctors office to cover for her, which I thought was very thoughtful! However, I decided I would still like to meet her business partner, Kati and see how I felt. Fast forward to my meeting with Kati, and once again, the moment I met her I felt an instant trust and connection. It was within minutes that I knew I could count on her to cover for Kinsey while she was out of town. 6 weeks later, our contract was up and we decided to renew with Kinsey for an additional month. Of course, shortly after signing, our little guy decided he wanted to pretty much sleep through the night (which I also attribute to Kinsey helping with)! While this was amazing for us, it was also a little frustrating as we juuuust extended our contract. However, Kinsey made sure we were still benefitting from her services at this time. She was not only flexible when it came to days/times, but she helped me with so many projects on my to-do list that I just could never get to caring for a toddler and a newborn - and she put genuine effort and thought into the help too! She helped me with an amazing toy rotation/organization system for my toddler, meal prepped quick and easy meals and snacks for her that I could freeze, and even helped me update all of our photo frames in the living room. Whether she was doing overnight sleep care or something else for us, she truly wanted to make sure she was helping to make this postpartum period as stress free as possible for us as a family. I truly believe that because of Kinsey (and Kati), I escaped postpartum anxiety fueled by lack of sleep this time around. I was able to truly enjoy the newborn stage as a well rested mom without feeling utterly exhausted for months on end like I did the first time around. I was able to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to actually enjoy the day with both my newborn and my 2 year old. My husband and I weren’t snapping on each other from being so tired and waking up all night with a fussy baby. While I know it is a bit of a luxury to be able to hire this kind of help, it is worth every.single.penny. Whether you already have the funds to do it or you have to make certain sacrifices to do it, I’d recommend Kinsey and her services a MILLION times over. You just can’t put a price on rest and mental health (especially during those first few months) and having someone you can truly trust to care for your baby is priceless. 10/10 would recommend Kinsey and The Village Doulas.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care and support I received during my postpartum experience. Having my first baby was one of the most beautiful, emotional, and overwhelming experiences of my life, and having such a supportive person made all the difference. From the moment I gave birth, I felt cared for, heard, and supported. The postpartum period comes with so many new emotions, questions, and adjustments, especially as a first-time mom. The kindness, patience, encouragement, and reassurance I received helped me feel more confident and comfortable as I navigated motherhood for the first time. I truly appreciated how much Destiny took the time to check on me, answer my questions, and make sure both my baby and I were doing well. I never felt like I was just another patient. I felt genuinely cared for as a new mother during such a special and vulnerable time in my life. I will always be grateful for the compassion and support I received. Those first moments of motherhood are something I will remember forever, and having such a positive postpartum experience made them even more special. Thank you for making my transition into motherhood a little easier and for treating me with so much care and kindness!

November 2026

"I'm 40 years old and just had our 6th child after a 6 year gap from our youngest. I have given birth in 3 different settings - birth center, hospital and homebirth. I had 2 different midwives before Dorothy due to early retirement for both and they were good, but Dorothy was my favorite for numerous reasons. Dorothy is what I would consider a "gold standard" midwife. Her professionalism, thorough training and diverse experience nationally and internationally stand out. What I appreciated most were the numerous services and products she provided right out of her "mobile office" (AKA vehicle): ultrasound, blood work, and natural supplements to name a few. Not every midwife does this which is why I was very impressed with Dorothy. She has a humble yet confident competence in the knowledge and wisdom she no doubt learned through her training and various experiences, including a peaceful calm demeanor, which I credit to her faith. Great qualities to have in a midwife! She invests her whole self into her vocation and truly exemplifies her passion and artistry for midwifery. She took the time to answer my questions and concerns, educate me on nutrition and other means to have a healthy pregnancy, and even considered my previous pregnancies/births in order to make the right decisions with this most current baby. I'm happy to share that I got the waterbirth that I wanted and Dorothy helped make it happen. Without reserve I whole heartedly recommend Dorothy!"

We had a wonderful experience with our night nanny Raven! She was incredibly helpful, attentive, and intuitive to our newborn’s needs. She seemed to know what was needed before we even had to ask, which made us feel so supported and at ease. Her care and attentiveness made such a difference during those early newborn days, and we’re so grateful for her help. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, reliable newborn care!
