I certified as a Full Spectrum Birth Doula in 2021. I am a veteran birther, having had 8 babies. I have written two pregnancy books and working on third. AFTER raising 8 babies I found myself wanting to share my experiences and knowledge with other Mama's. I can tell you which of my pregncies were hydrated or dehydrated. I am starting a movement to empower all mamas from every walk of life. I want you to be a part of it. It doesn't matter to me if I am your hired doula or just a mentor. I want to make sure every women pregnant experiences the best possible outcome. To do that you must come to a complete understanding in regards to the first molecule of life Water!! Water is the key ingredient that empowers every pregnancy! I offer workshops and personal counseling based on my book available on Amazon "I am Water Understand Hydration during Pregnancy " Its her (your)body, her (your) pregnancy her (your) health. I believe every woman needs an advocate to make sure her birth plan manifests! Helping Mama's achieve their personal birth story goals is my life mission. Women today are dealing with different maternal factors than previous generations. Every pregnant mom wants a diet that is healthy. But in today's world that may not be as easily attainable as you would believe. We rely heavily on processed foods that are highly concentrated with sodium. Nearly every drink on the market comes in a plastic bottle. Juice, Water, Milk. We all have learned that microplastics is not healthy. Can we please have drinking products in aluminum cans with bpa free liners undetectable to taste or glass bottles? What are the consequences on a mothers body with added sodium and lots of plastics? When a mother consumes these products while pregnant does this put your health and your babies health on the best track? Is there a simple solution that all mothers can use? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE teaching expecting mothers the importance of hydration during Pregnancy in todays packaged and processed food world. We are all told by our medical team to drink more water and stay hydrated. BUT what does that really mean? As a birth doula I have found moms have questions that they feel are embarrassing to discus about hydration for fear of being thought ignorant. I explain to my moms that honestly that is the most important question you could ask. I break down what water does for you and your baby. We go over possible complications from dehydration. Lastly we discuss preventive hydration care. DID YOUKNOW YOUR BABYS BODY COMPOSITION AT BIRTH IS 70-75% WATER? It is simple, it's easy and makes a difference in regards to how a mom feels physically as well as emotionally about her body and baby. The health impovements that occur with a well hydrated mother are vastly important. Learn what they are and how to hydrate you and your baby. You can purchase on Amazon. "I AM WATER. understanding hydration during Pregnancy " https://a.co/d/4DGCLR8 Would you like to chat and experience #mommecare? Call 234-387-6650 or email me directly val@doulamommecare.com and as always message me here on Bornbir! Always looking out for Mamas Your Doula, Valrie Sommerville Certified Birth Doula

Jasmine is a wonderful Midwife. I’ve worked with her on mini homebirths. She really takes the mother’s medical care to heart. She listens to the mother’s concerns questions and requests and meets them how she can. I recommend Jasmine Wagster as a homebirth Midwife for a safe and healthy delivery.

Wow, where to even start!! We worked with Lisa as our doula to support us through our first pregnancy & birth of our son. I knew as soon as I got pregnant that I wanted to hire a doula, and after our chat with Lisa, we knew immediately that she was the one. Her depth of knowledge and passion for her career was apparent as soon as we started talking to her. Not only that, but she is incredibly kind and caring - I immediately felt safe and supported by her. Throughout my pregnancy I asked her lots of random questions and she never batted an eye & always provided clear answers and resources. She even said to me “don’t google anything, I’m your Google” and I REALLY appreciated that because I had a tendency to google everything and freak myself out!! But where Lisa really blew us away was during my labor & delivery. I had a hard and long labor that ended in a c section, and I am SO grateful Lisa was there to support my husband and I throughout the process. She helped me get into comfortable positions after my epidural, gave me an incredible massage to help me relax, and kept me & my husband informed about what was going on throughout labor. When I found out I needed to have a c section, she asked my providers all the right questions and comforted me before / during my procedure. She took photos of my husband and I meeting our baby for the first time, and held our baby up to my face for skin to skin when my husband needed to leave the room to move our things to recovery. Having her there to support us through the twists and turns of labor and delivery was TRULY a game changer, especially when things got stressful. She kept us both grounded and calm when we needed it most. I could keep going on and on about how amazing Lisa is, but I’ll finish by saying: hire her !!! she was worth every penny - truly the best investment we made, and I’ll remember her kindness and support forever. If we have another kid, she’ll be one of our first calls. We love Lisa!!! 💗💗💗

I am a Certified Professional Midwife, Certified International Midwife, Licensed Midwife, Certified Labor Doula, Certified Lactation Specialist, university educator, published author, and researcher with over 1,000 births attended. I am now mostly retired from midwifery practice and accept repeat midwifery clients only. I am currently accepting new clients for birth support at Summa Health in Akron. Occasionally, I will consider support at another hospital. If you would like to discuss this possibility, please feel free to send me a message here or via my website. I have supported families as a doula for many years, beginning prior to midwifery school and continuing throughout my midwifery career. I bring the knowledge of a midwife and the presence of a doula, walking with you from early pregnancy through those tender first weeks postpartum. I intentionally limit my calendar so that when your labor begins, I am fully rested and able to focus entirely on you. I am a wife, a mother of four, mother-in-law, and a proud grandmother of two. I know firsthand how much this season of life matters, and I would be honored to be part of yours.

After two cesareans, I was really hoping for a vaginal birth, and having Alyssa as my doula made all the difference. I had worked with another doula previously, and Alyssa’s knowledge, experience, and calm encouragement made it immediately apparent that she is unique. She helped me feel confident and supported throughout both my pregnancy and labor. Whenever I had a question, she responded quickly with a thorough answer. As a medical provider myself, I deeply appreciated her evidence-based approach. She was amazing at helping with positioning, comfort, and ensuring I fully understood my options. I got the VBAC I had hoped for, and I am so grateful she was part of such an incredible experience. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

When searching for a Doula, I really couldn't have been more lucky to have found Jennifer. I have been blessed to have Jennifer by my side for both of my children's births and couldn't imagine doing it again with anyone else. Jennifer supported my birth plan for both births and diligently worked by my side and for me to help get what I wanted. When things were getting difficult Jennifer was always a calm voice to guide me. Each birth my plan was to go unmedicated. Jennifer was skilled and proficient in acupressure. She even took the time to teach my husband. I utilized her aromatherapy skills and was so happy with the amount of time she put into learning what oils I liked, but also what oils would work best for my needs. Having the opportunity to work with Jennifer made my birth experience the best that it could be, both times. If you're a new mom looking for extra support, or an experienced mom looking for a different birth plan that is more centered around you, I urge you to talk with Jennifer. She truly has a gift for what she is doing. My family is so grateful for this lady!
