Doula Services in Westerville/Columbus, Ohio?

[dancermina]

I am due in December and I am looking for a doula in the Westerville/Columbus, Ohio area. I don't think we would qualify as technically "low income", but we really can't afford most of the services I see, either. I am looking for someone who is willing to work with me anyway, or maybe someone who is in training and needs the hours. Please let me know thanks!

I'm not answering, but was about the post the SAME thing. We live outside of Hilliard. Please let me know if you find anyoen training & only charging very little or nothing. Do you have a midwife/dr in the area? I'm new & doubting my decision on the practice already. I'm due in Jan. Congrats!!!

Hi! My name is Jennifer Matherly. I finished DONA doula training in June and am trying to get births to complete my certification. i live in Westerville. Until I complete certification I am charging $250 (to cover my childcare and expenses). I am also in Nursing school(OSU) training to be a Certified Nurse Midwife, so I love everything about pregnancy and birth. Check out my website www.matherlydoulaservices.com and contact me if you'd like to meet and see if we are a good fit. I have openings in December and January.

I believe that DONA holds a list of all certification candidates available as well. You may try contacting them at:

monica82 -- Consider checking out Women's Contemporary Health Care in Westerville.  They are awesome!!!  You find them recommended here all the time.  They're the only practice in the whole area that does waterbirths in a hospital.  I saw CNM Becky and she's great.  I've also heard great things about the other CNM, Emily.  Even the Dr's are very laid back.
