Roman Rice

As a full spectrum birth worker, and student midwife, I blend evidence based care with perinatal social work, intuitive, ancestral, and holistic wisdom. My mission is to restore sacred care and rites of passage, by providing culturally rooted, spiritually aligned and trauma informed support to black mothers, indigenous women, and families. I specialize in healing bundles, and customized services to support every path of wellness.

Working with Roman during my pregnancy and birth experience was truly a gift. I had the most beautiful and empowering home water birth surrounded by love, peace, and support, and Roman played such an important role in helping create that space. Her presence was calming, intuitive, nurturing, and deeply grounding. I felt seen, safe, respected, and supported every step of the way. She held space for me in such a gentle yet powerful way and helped me stay connected to myself, my body, and the sacredness of the experience. As an artist and deeply creative person, I know this experience will stay with me forever and continue to inspire the way I create, heal, and hold space for others. Roman helped make that possible by helping me feel fully held, emotionally safe, and spiritually supported throughout one of the most transformative moments of my life. I am endlessly grateful for her presence and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, aligned, and genuine doula support.

I love helping women understand and awaken to their own power in birth. Babies profoundly benefit from their mothers feeling a sense of empowerment and freedom throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. During this meaningful and normal physiological process, there is a hormonal orchestra that helps both mom and baby to dance and shift their way into each other's arms. My goal is to protect this space, offering a balance of privacy vs suggestions and guidance. Part of my expertise lies in recognizing and distinguishing normal from abnormal during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It is an honor and privilege to walk beside families in their childbearing seasons and adjust care to fit individual needs.

Review for Shelly As I approached the end of my pregnancy, I started to reconsider the free birth I had been planning and began to explore my options. I came across Shelly through Facebook, and we talked at length about what I had envisioned for this birth. Shelly asked very concise questions in order to acquaint herself with my expectations and to deliver a reasonable response to those expectations. She was thorough and honest. Ultimately we both decided that she would attend my birth and provide me with the hands off approach that I desired in my birth. As my due date came and passed, Shelly was speaking with me daily. She provided me with further reassurance that things were going smoothly. She not only answered my questions, but conferred with other midwives in the community so that she could be certain she was giving me all of the information she had available. Shelly and Staci arrived right on time for my birth, responding immediately to my husbands call. They entered my home peacefully and with the utmost reverence for the birthing space I had created. Their presence was non intrusive, and they waited patiently until my husband and I needed them in the room. Shelly allowed me to birth the way I intuitively desired, and asked to step in when she realized my baby girl wasn’t descending any further. She used her judgment in adjusting my position and assisting me with catching my baby. She provided all the necessary care after delivery, paid great attention to details in checking over my placenta and baby, and allowed my husband and I to get comfortable. Shelly followed up promptly and further provided comfort and care to myself and my newborn. She kindly went over the birth with me and we shared some of our passions and thoughts regarding the experience. Shelly was fantastic, adaptable, and humble. She is a great person, and a great midwife. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get in touch with a midwife, and I truly hope she is able to leave her permanent mark in the birthing community.

Hello! My name is Staci and I am a homebirth midwife. We, my husband and 4 children, have lived in NEOHIO for about 7 years. As a homebirth midwife we are eager to to learn about the family and what moves them to birth at home. We walk with the family throughout pregnancy and give as much information as we can get our hands on to share with them so they can make informed decisions about their birth care. We do all of our visits and care in home. We spend an hour or more if needed at each visit. We cherish this time of intimacy. Health, through food, exercise, and herbs, is our utmost focus. We are continually trying to learn and grow and share with our clients all we can. Some clients prefer to have co-care with an OB OR nurse midwife while others want nothing to do with any hospital care (unless a case of transport). We love to customize our care to our individual families.

I have worked closely with Staci Dasher since January, 2021. First, while apprenticing under her, I learned to appreciate her quiet and calm understanding and teaching of the birth process; watching her engage with clients and discuss the intricacies of how birth unfolds is beautiful to see. Now, as her birth partner I deeply appreciate her commitment to serve families with hands-on, individualized midwifery care and to communicate in ways that ensure that families know they're heard and they are deeply cared for.

Alyssa Taylor Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Ohio, last 60 days

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.

Choosing Alyssa as my doula was hands-down the best decision I made for my birth. I'm a nurse practitioner myself, so I naturally have a high standard for care, but Alyssa completely blew me away. She was incredibly hands-on from day one. All through my pregnancy, she was in constant communication and would text me back within minutes whenever I had a question. Her medical knowledge is absolutely incredible—even though she was strictly acting as my doula, her background as a midwife brought this amazing layer of clinical wisdom and calm to the entire experience. Her postpartum support has been equally as great. She has checked in constantly and is a huge reason behind my breastfeeding success. She is everything you could ever want on your birthing team😍

Deb was incredibly supportive from day one. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and truly client-centered. She respects your wishes and supports you in doing things your way while always being available with guidance, reassurance, and advice when you need it. We are especially grateful for Deb’s support during what became an incredibly difficult and frightening labor experience, when we came close to losing our precious child. Having her by our side during such a vulnerable and overwhelming time meant more to us than words can express. Her compassion, encouragement, and unwavering support made a tremendous difference when we needed it most. Choosing Deb as our doula was one of the best decisions we made, and we will forever be thankful for the care, comfort, and guidance she provided to our family. If you are looking for a doula who genuinely cares, listens to your wishes, and stands by you through the unexpected, Deb is the person you want in your corner.

October 2026

My husband and I on 10/07/2026 welcomed our little boy into the world! Debra Tacconi was our birthing doula. She was down right amazing! She helped and couched us through the whole process. From my pregnancy to even after birth. I had an emergency c-section due to our little man being breached. Which made us nervous. With her there for the both of us helped us get through it. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthing doula! Thank you so much again, Deb!!
