What moms are saying..

  • I chose Nurture for my doula and was pleasantly surprised how much more I gained from joining this network. To start, my doula Sam, was absolutely incredible, she made my birthing experience stress free and nearly enjoyable (which is wild considering the pain!). She helped my husband and I advocate for ourselves and was both an emotional and physical support throughout the entire 12hr process (and even afterwards!). I can't say enough wonderful things about Sam! Then on top of that, by joining this network I was able to take advantage of the multiple other things they offer - prenatal yoga, couples yoga, prenatal massage, and hypnobirthing (highly reco the hypnobirthing class!!). Before joining the Nurture family, I was terrified of giving birth and having a really hard pregnancy. They really were able to give me to the tools to lean into my pregnancy, find ways to cope and fully prepare me for labor. I can't wait to start utilizing their postpartum group for continued support!

  • I couldn’t have had a natural birth experience without my doula Phoebe! She kept me centered, encouraged and was a big support to me and my husband. We are so grateful!

    Tirzah, first time mom

  • I cannot recommend Nurture enough. It is such a wonderful resource, community, and a place of growth and healing. I got the positive birth experience that I wanted so much for my second birth as I had a very negative experience for my first. Erica Paulson and her team of doulas and others supported me so much during my second pregnancy and birth to get me to this positive birth experience. I took hypnobirthing classes, benefited from all the resources that were offered to me by having a doula from early on in pregnancy, enjoyed massages, and am now enjoying the community of postpartum mamas and pp resources. Considering what is offered, it is all extremely affordable too. I cannot recommend this place enough. I really love these people

    Cori, VBAC mom

  • Thanks to you I had such a wonderful birth. I could not have done it without my doula's support and love during such intense moments of labor. She got me through the toughest contractions and she encouraged my partner to be the main cheerleader for me -which was so special. Thank you Veronica! And Nurture for being apart of my birth team

    Sammi, first time mom

  • We hired Erica as our doula as first time parents and newcomers to Cincinnati. I also took her hypnobirthing classes. I absolutely couldn't imagine how my birth may have gone without having Erica as my doula and educator! She is knowledgeable, well educated, prepared, and brings such a calming presence. She helps mothers feel empowered to make informed decisions during their births and helped me cross the finish line to birth my baby after an extremely long labor because of baby's positioning. She helped make the hospital room feel like it was our own and made me feel comfortable enough to communicate my needs and wants to the hospital staff without ever having gone through birth before. If you are hesitant about hiring a doula or signing up for birthing classes, this is your sign to sign up. You 100% won't regret it!

  • Morgan was absolutely wonderful and we are so glad she was with us to offer her support, guidance, and calm during the long induction/labor/delivery

    Evan, first time mom

  • My doula team at Nurture was absolutely amazing to work with. Erica and I instantly clicked from our first conversation, I felt so heard and respected. She really helped talk through any fears I had before birth, provided me with great hypnobirthing techniques and meditations. Anna my doula when I went into labor and she helped me to relax and prioritize my needs. She was an amazing support person for me once we arrived to birth center and helped me find different positions to get my labor progressing. She helped show my partner various ways he could help with massage techniques, etc.I had the birth I planned and wanted and I contribute a large part of that to the calm and supportive presence I could feel from my doula team.

    Jaclyn, second time mom

  • I had a very traumatic labor and delivery with my first born. i was completely terrified of going through it again. Between my Doula, Erica and my OBGYN i had a wonderful (within the confines of labor and delivery kinda really sucks lol) labor and delivery, it went the way i wanted and most importantly i was listened to and heard. i wasnt ignored or had things done to me against my will. it was amazing and very healing. Thank you guys for being so awesome, supporting me through something terrifying and helping me heal from past trauma.

    Kristen, VBAC mom

  • Nurture’s birth doula support helped me create a beautiful and empowering birth experience my second time around. I achieved my goal of having an unmedicated hospital birth, and I absolutely couldn’t have done it without the emotional and hands-on support from their birth doula Morgan. My husband can’t stop talking about how powerful it was to witness. I also took Nuture’s hypnobirthing class and used everything I learned. I’m so grateful for Nurture’s support and recommend them to all other parents-to-be!New List Item
