Find a Doula Near Me in Toledo, OH

Greetings! My name is Christine Scarlett. I am a former pediatric nurse and now a certified birth, sibling, and postpartum doula. I am also a Certified Perinatal Patient Advocate, a Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and Gift Registry Advocate. Perhaps my best credential is being the mother of seven adult children and grandmother of many. I have had one cesarean, six VBAC’s, and sadly, one miscarriage. My personal experiences run the gamut of hospital, home, and waterbirth. I have many years of breastfeeding experience and do volunteer work in that field. I homeschooled for many years and still teach in a co-op one morning per week. Other specialties include cloth diapering, babywearing, healthy cooking, and even just laundry services. Contact me for a free interview to see if I can help you meet your unique goals.

My own journey involved an ambulance ride and a cesarean under general anesthesia, one misdiagnosed ectopic pregnancy a year later, and then three all natural hospital VBAC’s with a caring midwife and doula. Now that our family is complete, my passion is to help provide the same support that I was given, to women from all walks of life. I am certified through DONA International, the leader in evidence based doula training, have personally been trained by Gail Tully from Spinning Babies International, and I have served as a doula for over 80 families in northwest Ohio. Ultimately, I can’t control the end result of any birth, but I will always give supportive, sensitive and loving care. You will never be the same after childbirth. The birth of new life has the power to transform your own. Birth was meant to have meaning.

I am a DONA certified doula servicing South East Michigan and Toledo clients. Currently accepting Michigan and Ohio Medicaid, as well as other insurance options that work with doula coverage.

I am dedicated to walking with moms on their birth journey. This is something so special and unique to each individual and deserves to be supported.

I am a birth and Postpartum Doula as well as a Lactation Counselor and birth photographer.

Hi! My name is Alyssa I am a birth doula and living in southeast Michigan. I have always loved babies, caring for my friends, and giving my all and helping whenever they are pregnant, postpartum, or simply raising their families. I have always enjoyed being able to offer acts of service and support to others, and becoming a doula has helped me embrace this love language in so many new ways I never knew possible. With becoming a doula, my goal is to help support new families and moms by emotionally and physically supporting them through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Advocating for them with knowledge, and helping them make thought out decisions when needed in labor. I want to help every mom take back their birth and make it an experience they love to talk about and remember. As said in Isaiah chapter 66, verse 13, “As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.” My goal as a doula is to hold the mother through every stage and be there for her and her family.

Doula and Holistic Health Guide. I support women in the fertile years feel better in their bodies. From Pre-Conception through peri-menopause I help women listen to their bodies to learn what it is saying to them.

Hi everyone! After I became a mom, I realized how much more I wish I had known. I looked back at all sorts of decisions I made in the birth process that affected my experience. My passion now is to enter the journey with others and make sure they have the information and resources that they need to confidently make decisions for themselves. Birth is also a very vulnerable and major transition in life for both the birther and the partner. My role is to provide reassurance and emotional support to both! Helping you create a plan to come as close to your desired birth experience as possible is also on my list of to do’s. You may know what you want it to feel like but you’re not sure how to achieve that. I’m here to help! Whether you’re having a c-section, a med-free birth, a birth with pain medications, a home birth or a hospital birth, I’m happy to support those decisions and make it the best experience possible. I see myself as a gap-filler. What ever seems to be missing for you (physical, emotional, or informational support), I’m there to fill it in.

I am a certified Labor Doula, Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, and Lactation Specialist with over twenty combined years of professional and personal experience. I took the leap in 2020 during COVID to become certified and continue to educate myself regularly. My passion is supporting new families as they navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum journey. As a mother of six and a proud Nana, my personal experiences have helped shape my deep commitment to empowering women during these most memorable, and sometimes vulnerable, moments of their lives. Even as a young mother, I was determined to understand every aspect of motherhood — learning extensively about what pregnancy entails, how childbirth transforms us, and for that brief moment why nature reminds us to pause. My dedication deepened in light of the alarming maternal mortality rates among women of color, which led me to become a Labor Doula. I quickly recognized the critical need for support after the baby came home and became a Postpartum Doula with a special focus on overnight care. I took action on my passion. I am honored to help families navigate the beginning of their new journey.

I’m Cameasha. I support moms to take control of their pregnancy and birth to amplify their voice, feel confident in your plan and empowered in your journey. I am a Mom of 4 small ones.The youngest is 17 months. I became a doula so moms would not feel unseen, unheard, or alone. The expectations placed on moms is both flattering and irrational. So sometimes we are not heard. I am here to help you advocate for yourself and truly be heard and informed during your pregnancy and birth journey. Birth and pregnancy is an amazing thing but it can also be stressful without the right support and information to hold space and do exactly what you WANT. Not be gaslit or coerced into something you don't. Having an advocate that is there for YOU to support you. I started Strength of A Mommy to emphasize how moms are strong mentally, physically, and emotionally but we are not always superwoman, we are human. I wanted to also support moms to focus on their Mental and Physical Fitness prioritizing their health. I believe in and focus on a whole person approach. Starting with mental fitness, physical fitness and emotional fitness. I have a Master’s in Forensic Psychology focusing on behavior, I am also a certified Personal trainer credentialed in nutrition, prenatal fitness and prenatal yoga to be able to offer mental, emotional, and physical well being for the mommies I serve. I wanted to serve moms from the start supporting you to build your voice feeling empowered/strong from the beginning. I began my journey of Doula carw because of my pregnancy and birth experiences. They were good, bad, wonderful, and ugly. It was joyful and stressful all in one. In those moments where I felt low, fear, and defeated… it would have been amazing to have support and advocacy. So breathe mommy, I understand and I am here for you. My goal is to help as many moms as possible to never feel unsupported, overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. That feeling sucked. You are a mommy, but you are so much more and I am ready to support you how you need it.
