Birth & Postpartum Doula

About me

Hi, I'm Kay! I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a proud member of Marigold Birth Collective. My doula practice is centered around evidence based education, a strong belief that every birth can be improved by support, and a deep passion for learning and advocacy. One of my biggest goals as a doula is to convince the world that all birthing people can use a doula - doulas are not just for unmedicated births, vaginal births, or "crunchy" home births. I DO support those, but I also enthusiastically support medicated births, planned inductions, c-sections, VBACS, and all other flavors of birth. All birth deserves empowerment, education, and advocacy. My personal birth experiences with inductions, epidurals, VBAC, and planned c-section make me particularly suited to support these types of clients. In my free time, I love crafting, wrangling my three sons, and seeing live music with my husband.
