I am a seasoned home birth midwife working in the greater Lexington area. I believe birth is a natural process that occurs best when folks are encouraged to be in their own space and labor surrounded by supportive helpers. Our team focus on individualized care for each family. I am also a Dancing for Birth instructor, Happiest Baby on the Block provider, Spinning Babies aware provider, Breech without Borders trained provider. I offer free consultations on zoom or in our Lexington or Berea office. W have pool rentals for our clients and offer placenta encapsulation and child birth education.
Having Tress as our midwife for both our daughters has been wonderful. When you spend time with her you feel truly looked after and heard. Working with her is easy, you are in good hands, and we feel very blessed to have had her care during such a special time for our family.

Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Lexington, KY. My work focuses on 3 pillars of support during the birthing year! Education: knowing your options and planning for your ideal birth experience and the unexpected. A great way to avoid a traumatic birth experience is to be really educated about your options before you go into labor! Advocacy: knowing what you want and making sure that is respected and supported. It's your birth and you're in charge! Recovery: postpartum is a gift to reset your health, but this requires rest, nourishment and establishing new routines with your new baby. I will help you make a plan before baby arrives and implement it after you give birth!
I absolutely loved having Amy participate in my birth and postpartum care! She was attentive and made helpful suggestions throughout the time she was with us. The Prenatal discussions allowed me to learn more about my previous birth and things that I wanted to go differently in the upcoming birth. Amy assisted me in research that on things that I wanted more information on and was a wealth of knowledge. She provided books and other resources that I didn't even know were out there. I was planning a homebirth and prior to labor she brought me a kit with different size peanut balls and a TENS unit and that was super helpful during my labor. Amy was very supportive throughout my labor and birth and brought essential oils in inhaler forms. She was also very attentive to my needs by providing sips of water, suggesting position changes, and even started a meal in my crockpot so it would be ready after delivery. During the postpartum period Amy helped with meal preparation, guidance on where to gain additional information on breastfeeding, took care of dishes, laundry, pump parts, helped me learn different baby wraps and how to secure the baby in them. She was also very accommodating with my toddler and indoor animals supervising them in outside play in the yard. I also enjoyed getting to discuss the labor and gain more insight to what happened and she even took pictures of the labor and delivery and sent it to me in google photos. This labor, delivery, and postpartum experience was a much better experience then I previously had and much of that is due to Amy's knowledge, care, and attention. I can't say thank you enough.

Jessica is outstanding and I can not imagine going through the birth of my first son without her! I had a high risk pregnancy with the potential for many complications - Jessica made me feel so safe and secure going into labor and throughout my entire birthing experience. Not only did she help support me, but supported my husband and mom as birthing partners by coaching them in how to support me best. Jessica was always quick to respond at any time, incredibly knowledgeable with her years of experience and certifications, and all around the best support I could've asked for during a potentially stressful time. I can not recommend her more for any women in any position during their pregnancy and birth!

I’m Courtney Walkenhorst and I am a birth doula serving the Cincinnati area. I have been serving families for 2.5 years as a doula. I trained through DONA and certified through AWWS. I love to serve all women seeking support in doula care but I have particular soft spots for 2nd time moms seeking a different experience than their first birth, and VBAC clients! I’m a wife and mom of 3 boys. If you’re interested in my business name story, find it here: https://bit.ly/3Znr12e
Courtney was my doula for my little boy born Feb 28, 2022. Courtney was absolutely the best decision we have ever made in regards to birth, I am so thankful I got to have her at my birth and I’m so glad she was our doula. What could have seemed like a chaotic and crazy third VBA2C birth was made calm and achievable from Courtney. I am so glad she was there and she was so helpful in countless ways. She was not only a physical support with self sacrificing hip squeezes and cups of warm water down my back, but also and maybe even more importantly a calm and relaxed voice of reason, a shoulder to cry on, an encouragement when I needed it most and truly the only reason I was able to have a VBAC in a hospital setting. Any woman who chooses Courtney will be blessed by having her at their birth.

Over 10 years ago, I answered the call to be with women in the childbearing year. Becoming a doula was my 1st baby step on this most rewarding journey! I advanced through nursing school and gained critical medical knowledge and insight working within the industrial-medical-pharmaceutical-complex, all the while retaining my grounding in the natural power of beautifully supported women. I started attending homebirths as the primary assistant to the midwife in 2014. Between home, hospital, and free-standing birth center settings, I have been honored to attend around 300-400 births as a nurse so far. In my journey, I have worked closely with midwives, learning the art of breastfeeding and participating in passing along this skill from woman to woman, even in the case of serious difficulty. I've coached hundreds of clients from all around the United States on topics ranging from navigating the health care system while pregnant, preventing cesarean section, reducing their risk, and so much more! My saga is only just beginning, and I want to bring as many women and families along this path as I can. Health is freedom. Material knowledge is the currency of our times, but wisdom and intuition are what give knowledge power. I hope to impart my wisdom gained through experience to you, so you can apply this to your life, and do what you know is right in your heart and mind. I want to hold your hand as you take a quantum leap of faith… Faith in yourself, in your body’s design and designer…
Sierra is the absolute best! She is so knowledgeable and shares that knowledge in a way that’s easy for the common (non-medical) person to understand. I was 39 weeks pregnant and reached out to her, somewhat freaking out, because I found out my midwife wanted to induce me. I had a lot of concerns with that. Sierra listened to my concerns, she validated how I was feeling, and was able to give me a real step by step plan of what my options were going forward. I went from panic to peace after speaking with her. Instead of feeling like I was just being shuffled through the system, I felt empowered to make decisions and advocate for myself and my baby. I would totally trust her with anything baby/pregnancy related and would absolutely seek her advice again!

Hi, I'm Emily! I've been a Doula for over two years now, and walking with mothers through pregnancy, birth, and Postpartum has truly become my passion. No matter the outcome, I'm here to support you. I was born and raised in Casey County KY and being able to support moms in my area has been a huge blessing to me, Supporting both Hospital and Homebirths ❤️ Casey county is still where I call home and where I base all my adventures out of. Aside from birthwork, I love hiking, painting, gardening, and a good doughnut! Here's to finding the Beauty in your Birthing Journey. No matter what it looks like. -Emily
Absolutely loved having Emily. She’s excellent at making sure I was informed about every possible thing and talking me through all my fears associated with the birth. Then at birth not only understood all my mumbling but also did comfort measures when she could see I needed them without me trying to say anything. She definitely made the whole experience a breeze and if you’re wondering you definitely need Emily it’s no question. 1,000x recommended her.

Hey, I'm Mary Miller! I'm a certified birth doula, certified Lactation counselor, and psychotherapist certified in perinatal mental health. I serve in Louisville, KY and southern Indiana. As a professional in birth work and mental health, I strive greatly to provide the birthing person and their partner with emotional, physical, and informational support to empower them through their pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting journey. I’m a wife, mom, sister, friend, and aunt. I love exercising, hiking, hanging out with my family, pizza and pugs!
I had the pleasure of having Mary as my doula for my fourth baby. This was my first experience trying for a birth without an epidural. I was nervous going in, but Mary was amazing at providing resources and answering all of my questions prior to the birth. During my actual experience, she was incredible at supporting me and helping me navigate changes we had to make along the way. She also really helped in advocating for me when there were disagreements with my doctor on how to proceed forward. She made me feel so comfortable and supported and helped me achieve the birth I wanted. Postpartum, she ensured I had additional resources for breastfeeding, pumping, and even helped come up with activities to keep my older kids occupied while solo parenting. Overall, I would recommend Mary and her services to any mama looking for an amazing experience.

Hello, my name is Bashy, and I am a passionate and certified doula dedicated to supporting individuals and families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. My role as a doula is to provide emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to each client's unique needs. I am trained in techniques that promote comfort during labor, such as breathing exercises, positioning, and massage, and I strive to create a calm and empowering environment for birthing individuals. Beyond labor support, I offer guidance during the prenatal phase, helping families prepare for the birthing experience and navigate any concerns. In the postpartum period, I assist with recovery, breastfeeding, and adjusting to life with a newborn. What inspires me most about being a doula is the privilege of witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing individuals while contributing to their positive birth experiences. I am committed to fostering trust, respect, and confidence, empowering families to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.
Carest Doula provides compassionate and personalized support to families to our family throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Their services were spot-on prenatal education, labor and birth assistance, and postpartum care. Their nurturing approach and dedication to individualized care make them a trusted partner in one of life’s most transformative journeys.

You can find me sipping coffee in a local shop, my head stuffed in a book, hiking and camping throughout the weekends, running, and talking with everyone and anyone about all things birth. Certified through A Woman Who Serves Doula Services (AWWS), I seek to empower women to see their true potential and beauty during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I have been blessed to walk with so many women throughout the last 3 years! I am passionate about how our bodies are so intentionally designed to reflect what we are capable of. A successful labor doesn’t just start at pregnancy, it starts way before! Let’s chat about what it would look like to support you, I’m all in for you 🙂
I had an amazing experience with Emma! Emma met with me twice prior to birth, once just to get to know each other and then one prenatal appt to go over my birth plan, meet my husband & give us some good tools for my husband to have to be able to be a supportive partner during birth. I chose to have an all natural labor & birth and emma was amazing the second she got to the hospital with setting up my room to be comforting & helping me while in active labor with counter pressure/ applying essential oils topically per my request & encouraging me. Emma made me feel completely comfortable and helped me advocate for what I wanted in labor. She helped me understand multiple options for keeping labor progressing so I could continue with natural labor as I wanted and not have unnecessary medical intervention. Emma helped me in anyway I asked - in the labor tub/ walking around the hospital with me/ praying with me/ advocating for me and everything in between. Emma was an amazing support mentally, physically & spiritually and I cannot recommend her enough. If you are wanting a doula who is calming, encouraging & makes you feel seen & heard no matter what your birth plan then emma is your gal! I had the exact birth I wanted & a perfect healthy baby girl!

Worthington Hills, Kentucky
I am a DONA trained Birth Doula in Louisville, KY and am currently raising three kids, ages 14, 12, and 6, with my husband of 15 years in beautiful Shelby County. I became a Doula in June of 2018 and it is a true passion of mine. I have personally had both natural and medicated birth experiences and I support all births! I believe every birth journey is unique and that's the beauty of your story! After having a doula present for two of my babies, I quickly developed a passion and knew I wanted to be able to support others going through pregnancy and birth. I also know how challenging the Fourth Trimester can be and I l have such a heart to support moms in navigating through that postpartum season. I am also super passionate about educating families and empowering you to be an advocate for yourself. I offer in-home birth education, phone support, and consults for families who want the knowledge and prenatal support, but don't necessarily want the full doula labor and birth presence.
I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Jamie! For my second birth, I decided rather late in the game that I wanted to hire a doula to help me go unmedicated. I can undoubtedly say that I would not have been able to meet my goals without Jamie. In our prenatal visits, she asked all the right questions to understand my goals and preferences. She is incredibly down-to-earth and easy to talk to, which makes a huge difference when planning for such an intense experience. My labor itself had several unexpected turns that felt like setbacks, and Jamie was the steadfast and calm coach I needed when I was doubting myself. She has a ton of tricks up her sleeve - it seemed like she came up with a new comfort measure right when I needed it every time! It is clear that she has vast experience with birth and labor, and I specifically loved that she had lots of experience with natural births at hospitals (vs. home births). I am so happy that God led me to Jamie, she is an excellent doula and an excellent person. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

Hi! My name is Aubrey, I’m 24, and I am a mama to 3 wild toddlers. My journey to this profession started in 2019 when I had my first born. I had a hospital birth and had no clue what I was doing and neither did my husband. It was a rough experience to say the least. So when I got pregnant with my second baby I wanted things to be different. I did a lot of research and ended up having a home-birth. It was beautiful, I had never been so close to God. I got pregnant again less than a year later and had another beautiful home-birth. I realized that some women never get to feel like I did, I want to change that. I want mamas to feel what it is to have a faith-filled, relaxing, beautiful birth is like. Even if it isn’t at home. Every woman should get to experience what I experienced.
Aubrey was nothing short of wonderful. I had called her to attend my birth very late in pregnancy, she was quick to respond and ready to help where she could. She made sure the room was filled with confidence, encouragement, peace and the love of Jesus. During labor she made sure I had everything I needed close by and quickly, always thinking ahead of how my needs could change. After birth, she was so helpful in getting everything squared away with me and the baby. She also checked on me quite a bit after birth to make sure we were all doing well. ❤️ I look forward to birthing with her again 🥰

Aloha, parents! I’m Jenna Clarke. My husband & I have two beautiful daughters plus an adorable Miniature Schnauzer, and we all love to sleep. I was born and raised in Hawai’i, our girls were born in New Zealand (where my husband is from), and we recently moved to Lexington, Kentucky for a new adventure. I am an experienced pediatric sleep consultant, birth & postpartum doula, and advanced newborn care specialist. I truly believe that sleep is a foundation for our overall well being. Rested parent(s) and baby can recover quicker from birth, and the household is happier. You CAN get your child to sleep, and I can help. I have been coaching friends and clients for the past 13 years on how to achieve the sweet gift of sleep. It brings me so much joy because I know it is life-changing. For newborns, having a plan for establishing sleep hygiene and gently conditioning baby to sleep is important. For older infants, toddles and preschoolers, I utilize a range of methods (both responsive and traditional) to achieve your sleep goals. I meet with each of my clients to tailor an approach that resonates best with your parenting style and capacity. I provide virtual and in-home pediatric sleep consulting services to families across the country. Looking forward to working with you.

Taylorsville, Kentucky
I have been a birth doula for almost a two years now. Have helped about a dozen clients & it’s one of the best things I can do with my time. I have two kiddos myself, & after my first traumatic birth that’s when I knew I wanted to be a doula & help other mamas never had to go through something that traumatic if I could help it. My motto is holding space in the birth room wherever that is for you. 💕 I am on a little break from taking birth clients but I’m hoping to get back to it by early next year. Still love to chat & help with info as I can! Instagram is a great way to connect with me if you have any questions!

Bowling Green, Kentucky
Hi there! My name is Katie Sam Smith. I am a birth doula based in Bowling Green, KY and serving the surrounding KY/TN area. I am passionate about matrescence and want to help my clients envision and accomplish the birth of their dreams! I am a mom to a miracle baby, and my pregnancy involved a very rare diagnosis, fetal surgery, bedrest, and a NICU stay (when my original plan was a homebirth!). I am well aware of how vulnerable and scary this season of life can be. But I also know that your body and your baby were MADE to do this! My goal is not to teach you how to birth, make choices for you, or replace your partner. My goal is to provide you with information as well as physical, emotional, and spiritual support so that you can feel confident walking into your birth. I have been told that I instinctively know how to support my clients, and that I am a calming presence. Due to my son's diagnosis, I am also a veteran at communicating with medical personnel and advocating for those in vulnerable situations. Reach out today to schedule a free interview (call, text, or message through the site)! I am happy to support clients regardless of birthing preferences, marital status, religion, etc. I am comfortable in hospitals, birthing centers, and in homes and will travel on a case-by-case basis. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and I look forward to hearing from you!
