Birth and Postpartum Doulas
Bethany, Birth & Postpartum Doula, First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor (American Red Cross)
Bethany became interested in birth work after feeling in awe of the birthing experience with her own birth. Despite feeling the wonder and beauty of the birthing experience, she had an isolating birth and postpartum journey. She knew she wanted to be invested in creating a birthing culture that centers the birthing person, increases positive outcomes, and creates community. She believes that choosing a doula is choosing to create a new relationship. Another philosophy she holds is “a doula is who you are, not what you do” (Traci Weaver). When she first talks with someone who wants to have a child or who is expecting, she wants to know what they envision for their birth. What support are they looking for and what support can she offer to help meet their needs and desires? She advocates for the birthing person’s wants and needs to be centered.
She strives to be open, honest, transparent, hold space for different opinions and desires, and to continue her learning through professional mentoring and training. As a labor doula, some of the greatest benefits she offers are: providing evidence-based resources for pregnancy/labor/birth, traditional and cultural wisdom and practices, emotional and practical support during the birth, and postpartum follow up and home visits. As a postpartum doula, some of the greatest benefits she offers are: healing and rest practices, a listening and supportive ear, support and reassurance with baby care and feeding, support with household tasks and cooking, and resources and referrals for your questions and needs.

Anna, CLSC & Postpartum Doula
Anna (She/Her) brings years of experience in serving women and marginalized people, caring for infants, and holding space. She provides care through a trauma informed, anti-racist lens, having trained in culturally competent care for folks across the gender spectrum. Having begun her career as a postpartum doula as a mother of young children, she was driven to provide the care and support to mothers and families that she so greatly benefitted from. Taking a special interest in twins and preemies, she became highly skilled in infant soothing, complicated feeding, and sleep needs.
Anna has recently completed her training in lactation support counseling and now offers lactation services as well as postpartum doula support. Ranging from teaching to troubleshooting, latching and breast pumps to introducing solids and returning to work, Anna approaches lactation support with empathy and non-judgement.
Anna comes from a background in reproductive health care as both a counselor and an administrator. Holding space for people in need was a vital skill she has found crucial in both reproductive justice and postpartum care.
Anna believes strongly in the sacred connection of the postpartum parent/baby (or babies) bond, and centers her care around protecting and nourishing it. She sees it as an honor to hold space for the postpartum parent in this vulnerable and critical time of postpartum, whether that is talking through a difficult birth, advising on lactation or bottle feeding techniques, baby soothing and swaddling, cooking and doing laundry - whatever is needed to ensure that postpartum person’s load is lightened enough that their only care is the baby.
*Insurance reimbursement may be available for lactation services.

Karla has a true passion for helping other mamas achieve their dream birth by emotionally and physically supporting their hopes and desires for how they would like their labor/birth to go. She takes confidence in reminding them that their bodies are made to birth a baby and that they can do this! As a birth doula, some of the greatest benefits Karla offers are: Providing evidence-based resources for pregnancy/labor and birth so that clients will learn how to advocate for themselves, providing continuous emotional/ physical support (as well as spiritual support if client welcomes it) during pre-labor, labor and birth. Karla is vbac certified(vaginal birth after c-section) and has training/certification as a informed prenatal/postnatal trauma coach! She also, as part of her package plan, will help pregnant mamas for a few hours preparing for baby, such as organizing the nursery, and making freezer meals are just to name a few. She will also follow up with a postpartum visit for mom and baby, bringing her lactation cookies/bars as a thank you gift for allowing her to be their doula! In Karla’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, scrapbooking, singing, cooking/baking, and more! In the near future, Karla plans on becoming a certified childbirth educator , as she is so intrigued about further learning about the process of pregnancy, labor and birth!

Ona, Birth & Postpartum Doula
Ona believes doula work has resonated in her heart for some time. Recently moving back home to Ohio has allowed that to manifest greater for her. Not having any children of her own yet, inspires her to give the special kind of care to her clients she imagines having one day during her first birth. She enjoys creating space for families to become empowered in trusting their own decision making abilities for themselves and their families. As well as gain knowledge, ask questions, and heal how they need to. It is her goal to contribute to healthier birthing experiences for families. That will help toward decreasing the high infant mortality rate currently in the state.
In her free time, Ona enjoys spending time outside hiking, kayaking, practicing yoga and going for walks. She believes greatly in the power of connecting with nature and its abilities to keep us present. Staying present is something she encourages her clients to practice throughout their journey. She has witnessed how impactful it has been for her in surrendering to anxieties and stress daily life tries to bring.
