Dear Representative,
My name is ___________, and I am a __________located in ______________. I am writing to respectfully request explicit exemptions in House Bill 744 for non-licensed birth workers (traditional & lay midwives,
doulas), lactation specialists, or somatic or bodywork practices that primarily use light touch, energy-based methods, or movement education. Please see the attached document on recommended amendment. This straightforward change would protect public health, preserve family-centered care, and support Ohio’s efforts to improve maternal and infant outcomes.
Thank you for your time and service to the people of Ohio. I would be happy to provide more information, research on outcomes for these modalities, or connect you with other professionals and organizations across the state. Please feel free to contact me!
Respectfully,
_______________
