I'm a Christian DONA International doula, serving families in the SW Ohio area. I am a mother of five children, I have had home births, natural hospital birth, and medicated births. I have also assisted as a doula at homebirths. I have spent years collecting information and resources regarding birth, nutrition, and how best to support healing after birth. I have amassed a wealth of knowledge but I am constantly learning and love to guide other women to information so they can make the best decisions possible for their family. I provide birth education and as your labor coach I want to help empower you to have information and understanding surrounding physiological birth so that you can have an amazing labor and delivery. I also provide postpartum planning and resources to help you adjust to life after birth and enter parenthood for the first, third, or fifth time. I want you and your family to thrive and I understand the challenges that come with growing your family.

I’m an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). That’s just a fancy way of saying I know a lot about boobs and breastfeeding 😉 At times, breastfeeding can be really challenging but my goal is to meet and support mommas where they are, providing help and encouragement along the way. My passion is to help save lives, one at a time, through the miraculous gift of mother’s milk.

My desire is to support you in whatever type of birth you are dreaming of! My calming presence and childbirth knowledge will come alongside you and your support person to empower you to relax and savor this special event.

My mission at Healthy Happy Sleep is to equip parents with the knowledge and skills required to lay a healthy sleep foundation for their child(ren). I believe the positive effects of learning to sleep well will last a lifetime! Healthy Happy Sleep is a place to find help, support, and guidance without judgment or guilt. As a mother of seven children and two-stepsons, I’ve experienced and overcome my share of sleep challenges! I am also a certified child sleep consultant through the Family Sleep Institute where I received one-on-one instruction with founder, Deborah Pedrick. Throughout the course of my certification I completed over 70+ hours of training and currently attend continuing education classes and seminars regularly. I am qualified to work with children from newborns through age 5, as well as multiples and children with special needs.

Nourish and Bloom with Rayna is a heart-centered practice dedicated to bridging the gap between pregnancy, birth, and postpartum life. With a holistic approach, I guide pregnant individuals through the transformative journey of birth while fostering deep, lasting connections between mothers and their babies. Specializing in doula support and lactation counseling, I am passionate about creating a nurturing space where breastfeeding relationships can flourish and grow. Together, we’ll honor your body’s wisdom, celebrate your strength, and embrace the beauty of motherhood in its most natural, connected form. Let’s nourish, bloom, and thrive—together.

Hello there! I have been a registered nurse for over 30 years but my passion is for birth work. I have certifications in breastfeeding education, doula support, placental encapsulation and several others. My family just moved to Ohio this past Spring and I'm looking forward to serving a new community.

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.

A trailblazer and advocate for women’s health and wellness, Dr. Alicia C. Baker has made it her mission to cultivate safe spaces for growing families and bridge the gaps in healthcare education for patients and clients alike.

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 a Registered Nurse with 13 years experience in the hospital. Most recently I have doing travel contracts but am taking a break until the fall. I have 4 children of my own ages 6, 10, 15, and 17. I know how stressful it can be with a newborn getting no rest and being expected to maintain a household and also work. I would love to be able to help your family find that balance by providing overnight childcare and light housework.

My name is Kristin McKee. I am a child of God, a women, a wife to an amazing husband since 2020, and a mother to two sweet little boys and an angel baby gone way too soon. I am a Labor and Delivery nurse since 2020; user of the Marquette Method NFP model since 2020; a Natural Family Planning Instructor through the Marquette University since 2022 and Certified since 2024; a Certified Lactation Consultant since 2023; and lastly, a women, wife, and mother navigating this world in the most natural and holistic way for my family.

After working in the nutrition space as a private practice dietitian for several years, I started to realize how much the conventional recommendations leave us hanging when it some to fertility, prenatal, and postpartum nutrition. This is arguably the time in life when nutrition matters most but few providers talk much about nutrition at all. At most, you may received a handout on what foods to avoid. But that leaves you not knowing what to actually eat. Because our current recommendations on prenatal nutrition are lacking, I went head first into the literature to learn more about this topic. Unfortunately, it’s not one we learned much about in my nutrition classes! I realized I loved working with this population and wanted to help women and couples on their journey to having a healthy baby. In addition to pregnancy related nutrition, I also specialize in eating disorders so I want to make food non stressful and pleasurable again. Food shouldn’t be a chore. Food is not just fuel, it is our way to show love, to connect with others, to change our quality of life, and to impact the future health of our children (and even grandchildren). I am passionate about helping people sift through the plethora of nutrition information that can be found on the internet to refocus on what is most specific to them and their circumstance. I strive to continually learn and better my practice in order to bring the best advice possible to my clients.

I am a pelvic floor physical therapist who is a board certified specialist in women's health physical therapy. I own an out-of-network mobile physical therapy practice where I provide in-home and telehealth physical therapy services for pregnant and postpartum moms!
