Hi, I’m Natalee- a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, homeschooling mom, and believer that every family deserves a gentle, supported start. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and deep respect for each parent’s intuition. I see the postpartum season not as something to “get through,” but as a sacred transition- a time to slow down, rest, and grow together. My goal is to help parents feel confident and cared for, whether that means creating a calm rhythm at home, offering newborn care guidance, or simply holding space so you can rest and reconnect. I believe there’s no one “right” way to parent- just the way that feels right for you. My philosophy centers on helping families discover what works for them while reminding them they don’t have to do it all. You deserve support that feels personal, nurturing, and grounded- because thriving in parenthood starts with feeling seen, heard, and held.

Hi! My name is Brandi. I'm so glad you are here! I began my journey into becoming a Doula after having a powerful birth (cliché, I know). It got me thinking, if I felt empowered then why shouldn't others feel that way?! Inspired, it led me to a career supporting others through their significant time. On my down time I stay busy being a wife and a mother to 6 active, awesome kids. You can almost always catch me on the field or in the gym. Some of my passions include God, coffee, plants, essential oils, baby-wearing, traveling, group exercise, crafting, crystals, nature, tattoos and herbal healing. But above all, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to learn and grow. I like to encourage and empower families through their life journeys! There is nothing like becoming a family! I absolutely LOVE birth and can't wait to be a part of yours. And beyond. ❤

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. 1 in 4 Mama's in Ohio do not make it to their babies first birthday. I am working to help end this trend. 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 never expected to be involved in birth work, yet five years later I am immersed in it loving every moment! My loving husband was the first person to educate me about my birth choices. His encouragement and the birth of my daughter are the reasons why I work in this field. While pregnant with my daughter I became very informed about my body and natural child birth/labor. I read countless books and watched many online videos. I did not realize my passion for birth work until I was asked to be a doula for the midwife who was serving me. She took me under her wing and started me on this journey and I have never looked back. Birth is one of the most sacred, compelling, beautiful, and healing events I have ever experienced. There is nothing compared to witnessing the birthing person bring forth a happy and healthy child. It is something I find incredibly joy-giving and satisfying. Labor In Love Midwifery seeks to serve birthing persons so that they can have a safe and healthy birth.

Setting up parents for success in their important journey has always been my passion! My degree in Early Childhood Development led me on a path to becoming a professional nanny for ten wonderful years. As I’ve helped many families along the way I’ve learned a thing or two. On top of these experiences, I’ve expanded my expertise with DONA International and Birth Arts International training in postpartum doula work, as well as becoming a Certified Lactation Support Counselor in order to know the latest evidence-based practices on infant care and feeding. With compassion, calm, and caring, I’m there to aid in supporting families in the first year following birth. My role includes educating on responsive baby care and supporting the family through encouragement, feeding, tidying up, and holding space. Whether it’s baby feeding methods or the best safe-sleeping practices, I want to help guide and nurture your family. My goal is to partner with you as parents in order to help your growing family feel as rested and confident as possible.
