Find a Birth or Postpartum Doula Near Me in Ohio

Hannah was a calm presence at my birth, she was quiet and helped the room to feel quiet and calm. She anticipated my needs and gave helpful suggestions for labor positions and breathing techniques. Hannah was able to show my husband how to apply counter pressure, and I believe her presence helped shorten my labor.

I truly cannot say enough good about Camie. She spent so much time with me leading up to my birth educating and preparing me and walking me through my choices. When she isn’t sure of something she doesn’t pretend, she finds a resource to get you an answer and that just made the trust between us even better. My birth went nothing like we had planned and we hit road blocks at every step of the way, but Camie was there from the moment I went in for my unplanned induction, for every painful moment and difficult decision, right through until my daughter was born. My birth was difficult, long, and taxing, but Camie was a rock through it all, not just for me but also for my partner. Her love for babies, for her role as a doula, for others, and for the Lord is unmatched and I am forever grateful for her.

Cayla is a literal angel! During my pregnancy she taught my husband counter pressure techniques, worked with me to make my birth plan concise, and helped me pack my hospital bag. When we got to the birth center she set up my room with affirmation cards and candles. Throughout labor she helped me advocate for myself, made sure I stayed hydrated by keeping my water full (it’s the little things), gave me consistent words of encouragement, and snapped some photos. My contractions were back to back so I didn’t get a break and neither did Cayla because her double hip squeezes were a life saver and got me through each contraction!! I highly recommend having Cayla be a part of your birth team (because spouses can’t do it all)!

I actually found Stacy on Doula Match. Her reviews were amazing. Our birth went so smooth and Stacy was by my side the Entire time. She is so soothing! She was so calm even during a few times things kinda got crazy. I will hire her again for our next child!

I can't thank Jesse enough for the incredible support during my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. From our first meeting, she made me feel comfortable and informed. During labor, she was a calming presence, using techniques that truly helped manage my pain. Her postpartum support was invaluable, assisting with breastfeeding and newborn care. She was always available to answer questions and provided the emotional support I needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable 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.

Alivia was my doula for my third pregnancy from my second trimester through birth. I had never used a doula before, but I loved my experience. Our first meeting to establish what my goals were for pregnancy and what I needed from her were so helpful to get my focus set on this pregnancy and really set aside time to think and plan. The prenatal meetings were full of great info on ways to have a healthy pregnancy and ways to labor naturally like I wanted. We went over great pregnancy snack ideas and books to read, labor positions and breathing techniques. She was always very responsive when I reached out with questions or updates. When it came time for laboring and birth I'm so glad Alivia was there. Her presence was very calming and reassuring. She coached me through ways to relax and breathe. I honestly grew more confident in having her there, and my whirlwind of a labor needed a little bit of extra confidence and calm. Alivia even went the extra mile by bringing nursing snacks and checking in with me to see how baby and I were doing the next day. Such a considerate and thoughtful person and very good at being an educator and helper.

A Natural!! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to have Kathryn at my daughter’s birth. From the moment she showed up she was very in tune with what I needed and when I needed it such as helping coach me with my breathing, knowing the exact spot I needed pressure during contractions, and empowering me when it was time to push. I would recommend her one thousand times over!

Destiny is an absolute joy to be around. Her calming presence and knowledge about birth is out of this world. Having a baby is already an intimidating experience, but Destiny is able to calm the space and make sure my voice is heard. I would highly recommend Destiny for any person looking for a Doula.

I cannot recommend Trish enough! She was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, making sure I felt educated and empowered every step of the way. She took the time to answer all of my questions and always respected my wishes without judgment. During labor, she was an unwavering source of support, helping me stay calm, confident, and focused on my birth plan. Because of her guidance and encouragement, I felt comfortable advocating for myself, and she helped me successfully carry out the birth experience I had hoped for. What truly sets her apart is the way she continued to care for me after birth. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare postpartum meals, which meant so much during such a vulnerable time. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication made me feel genuinely cared for, not just as a client, but as a mom. I am beyond grateful for everything she did for my family. If you’re looking for a doula who is supportive, respectful, compassionate, and truly invested in your well being, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She made my birth experience more positive than I could have ever imagined.

My experience with Lizzy has been wonderful. She is warm, approachable, and truly listens to both concerns and goals. I felt supported and never rushed during our interactions. She explains things clearly and gives practical guidance that’s easy to follow. What stood out most is how compassionate and patient she is, which made me feel at ease right away. Lizzy really cares about the families she works with, and that makes a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend her to other parents who want someone knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in their well-being.

I had a really positive experience with Charuta. She was consistently supportive, responsive, and reassuring throughout the process. Even in a virtual setting, she made me feel heard and cared for, which made a big difference during such an important time. She provided helpful guidance, answered my questions thoughtfully, and offered encouragement when I needed it most. Her calm and understanding approach helped ease a lot of stress and uncertainty. I’m grateful for her support and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable doula.

Tobbi was our Doula for my first grandson. She was involved from the very start attending appointments and tending to the needs of mom and baby. I absolutely love how she advocated for my daughter while she was in active labor. Her presence was a Godsend. This was my first experience using a doula and I would definitely recommend.
