My name is Leanne known to many as Tippy. My passion for women empowerment and caring for the most innocent. I believe being a doula to be my gift or calling from God.

Hi there! I’m Michelle! I’m a fellow home birth mama to four amazing children. I believe birth should be gentle, undisturbed and transformational for mothers and their families. Nurturing mothers during birth and postpartum is the foundation for how they are able to connect with their families and themselves. We are rewriting the patriarchal narrative, women need to serve women above all else. It’s important to know that as your doula, I strive for a friendship, not a business agreement. I’m so excited to meet you!

Hi! My name is Brandi. I'm so glad you are here! I began my journey into becoming a Doula after having a powerful birth (cliché, I know). It got me thinking, if I felt empowered then why shouldn't others feel that way?! Inspired, it led me to a career supporting others through their significant time. On my down time I stay busy being a wife and a mother to 6 active, awesome kids. You can almost always catch me on the field or in the gym. Some of my passions include God, coffee, plants, essential oils, baby-wearing, traveling, group exercise, crafting, crystals, nature, tattoos and herbal healing. But above all, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to learn and grow. I like to encourage and empower families through their life journeys! There is nothing like becoming a family! I absolutely LOVE birth and can't wait to be a part of yours. And beyond. ❤

Hi moms, I am a doula here in the Cuyahoga falls area. I lived and got trained in Suwanee GA. I moved back to the area in may but have not had the availability to do births so I have taken a step back. I have settled in and have the ability to come along side families as a postpartum doula and night nanny. I have worked as a nanny for families for over 6 years and they all become like family. I would love to come along side your growing family and assist so you can thrive.

Blessings to you all. Hello, mamas, papas, and little ones. My name is Key. I'm a traditional birth attendant, medicine woman and forest farmer. My heart is devoted to offering true informed consent, heartfelt advocacy, and genuine, autonomous support. I honor all births while holding space without judgment. The birth you seek matters deeply to me. And if there’s something beyond my care, I’ll gladly guide you to someone who can help. When I’m not walking the path of birthwork, I find peace in simple, earthy rhythms—wandering outdoors, making healing remedies, cooking from scratch, and learning new things with my hands and heart. I have five children and we're always embracing the beautiful yet wild chaos of family life. I love to read, master sourdough, play football with my family, run barefoot and explore new flavors and experiences. Rooted, learning, and always growing.

Hi, I'm Kyleigh, hopefully I'll be your doula. I am so excited to go on this journey with you, but first let me introduce myself. I started this journey after working in the nursing home as an Stna. While I love being an Stna, State Tested Nurse Aide and Esthetician, I have always been curious about birth and the female anatomy. So, I decided to get certified. I have always had the heart for taking care of people and can't wait to care for you and your family. When I was little, my younger sister and I would pretend like I was the doctor and she was getting ready to have a baby. My sister would go to check ups and I would give her an "ultrasound" and eventually she would birth the baby, a doll put under her shirt, and she would come back with her doll for a postpartum checkup. Since I was a little girl taking care of moms and babies has been my dream. As an SBD certified Doula, I feel honored to be able to share my expertise with women and families around Columbiana, Mahoning, Stark, and Carroll County. I approach birth holistically. As well as physical support during labor, my role is also to act as an advocate for the birthing woman and her family. Contact me to find out more.

I believe in educating and supporting new parents into a place of power, and confidence to make choices they feel will best meet their families specific needs. I strive to support mothers reach their personal pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding goals. I am committed to serving families from all walks of life. Including but not limited to the recognition and celebration of all races, colors, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, disabilities, and gender identities.

I help Christian mothers understand God's design, release fear around childbirth, & heal from past birth trauma.

I am a birth and postpartum doula, registered hypno babies doula and placenta encapsulation specialist. I have attended births of many kinds. I have been in birthwork for 11 years or so. Before that I was a nanny.
