Hi My name is Toria. 🎨 Artist | 🌿 Doula | 📍Dayton, OH Support for birth, postpartum & beyond Evidence-based. Heart-led. Inclusive.

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. In 2011 Dr. Baker earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Emory University. In 2016, she acquired her Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from the University of Dayton. After years of practice as a pelvic floor therapist, Dr. Baker took a leap of faith and changed the way she does PT. She went mobile, with a special target for pelvic floor patients. With multiple requests for birth assistance from patients, she became a certified Doula backed by experience supporting new mothers with conditions such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, geriatric pregnancy, and VBAC. As “The Doula PT”, Dr. Alicia actively engages within her community to guide women in ways to live and birth with confidence through pelvic floor therapy and birth support. Her goal is to empower her patients and clients by bringing light to the ways to improve health outcomes and heal their bodies.

Hello!! My name is Payton Anderson. I’m a California native currently living in Ohio due to military life, and I’ve been married to my husband for three years after being together since our freshman year of high school. I’m 22 years old and have a deep passion for women’s health, birth, and lactation—work that truly feels like my calling. I am a trained birth doula who has completed my doula education and am currently working toward certification through DONA International. This certification requires attendance and documentation of three births from both myself and the families I support. Because of this, I am offering my birth doula services at a discounted rate while completing these requirements. While I may be early in my professional doula journey, I am confident, well-educated, and fully committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and continuous support throughout your labor and birth experience. In addition to birth support, I am also on the pathway to becoming an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). This means I bring strong foundational and developing lactation knowledge into the birth space, allowing me to support early breastfeeding goals, comfort measures, and informed decision-making immediately after birth. I want to note that my services are specifically focused on birth doula support. At this time, I do not offer postpartum doula services, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to supporting you through pregnancy, labor, and birth. My goal is to create a calm, informed, and empowering birth experience where you feel supported, respected, and confident in your choices. It would be an honor to walk alongside you during such a meaningful moment in your life

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.

Hi, I’m Janelle! With my extensive experience as a mother of two, rigorous birth and postpartum DONA certification, Master’s in Health Administration, and training as a health and wellness coach, I offer a unique set of experiences that blend compassionate care, evidence-based knowledge, and whole-person wellness to support women through every stage of their motherhood journey. My own vastly different birth journeys - one C-section and one VBAC - opened my eyes to how different each experience can be, yet how deeply every mother deserves to feel supported, informed, and empowered. My own doula supported and empowered me through those experiences and inspired me to create FlourisHER Way Birth and Wellness, a space where women can receive both practical and emotional support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I bring a wealth of related experience, with years in healthcare leadership and wellness coaching, to countless hours walking alongside moms as they navigate nourishment, rest, identity shifts, and self-care. My approach is gentle and empowering, and I bring that same calm, grounded, and nurturing presence into my doula work. I believe every mother and birthing person deserves to feel confident, cared for, and fully supported - physically, emotionally, and mentally - as they bring new life into the world. Through my work and my heart as a mom, I’ve learned that thriving in motherhood takes more than just physical recovery — it’s about nourishment, rest, emotional balance, and rediscovering yourself in this new chapter. My approach is gentle, personalized, and rooted in helping mothers flourish — body, mind, and spirit — as they welcome new life and step into their strongest selves. My approach is gentle, reassuring, and deeply personal. Together, we’ll honor your body, your intuition, and your story as you flourish in your own unique way!
