Community Based

Light Footsteps empowers women and their families to embrace Earth-centered wellness through learning opportunities, doula services, and botanical wellness products.  We host a variety of wellness workshops on our farm and in our community about topics such as herbal first-aid, medicinal and edible plants, and herbs for women’s health.  Our 23-acre farm is also a permaculture demonstration site and United Plant Savers Botanical Sanctuary where we strive to live in harmony with the natural world.

Light Footsteps is located in Geauga County in Chardon, Ohio. We teach herbal classes in Northeast Ohio at our farm and in our community, and we attend births as your doula in the greater Cleveland area at your home or hospitals such as Hillcrest Hospital, University Hospital MacDonald Women’s Hospital, UH Geauga Hospital, Tri-Point Hospital, Lake West Hospital, UH Robinson Memorial Hospital, Ashtabula County Medical Center, St. John Medical Center, Fairview Hospital, Southwest General Hospital, and Metro Health Hospital.
