I love helping families during this sacred transition, and my work with children and families has shown how vital emotional health is for the mother, baby, and family. That means that everyone is getting the time they need. Siblings need one-on-one time with parent(s), baby need basic needs met round the clock, mom needs to rest and recover, and parents need time to connect with each other. I try to be a calm, peaceful, and non-intrusive presence to help relieve the tension by providing time for the family during this delicate period of transition. I look forward to seeing how I can help your family during postpartum transition.

Ghene’t is such a warm, calm, positive presence in our home. She watches my (now) 1 & 2 year old children and they love her. She is quick to get on the floor and use imaginative and educational play to engage them while also providing a nurturing and calm environment for them. She is reliable, communicative, and observant of the children’s needs and concerns. I have leaned on Ghene’t to help us through bedtime routines, developmental changes such as transitioning from a bottle to solids, and we will soon be tackling potty training. All in all, I can’t say enough good things about Ghene’t, we just love her!

My name is Abalonia Leavitt. I am a mother of five beautiful children, married, driven , passionate. I love traveling especially as a midwife. I enjoy watching TV spending, time with my children and, taking vacations. I've had a passion for conception pregnancy and birth since I was a teenager. I would spend hours in the library researching and learning about embryology, neonatology and, obstetrics. As a mother, I know how important it is to have quality care, more importantly to feel heard. feeling empowered, Informed. like an ally you can rely on! You shouldn't have to feel like you're fighting against your beliefs and intuition. Most importantly you want what's best for your baby. Some season practitioners are stuck in their ways I'm trying to bridge that Gap between hospital being a normality back to Midwifery being the sole purpose and providers for pregnancy aside from high risk pregnancies. I aim to lower mortality and morbidity rates among women and babies in the United States. I provide quality evidence-based care. I believe that "No one cares how much you know until, they know how much you care! At Leavitt's Itty-Bitty Delivery that is our commitment to our clients. With over 10 years of experience in the birthing field over 30 certifications, I strive to find answers and question everything with or without clinical trials, ACOG recommended standard of care. I meet my clients where they are, not on a spectrum that places all we knew and know about midwifery today on a sliding scale! I aim to break those barriers and get answers to all things prenatal, postpartum and newborn assessments and unnecessary treatments given due to protocols and policies that protect themselves and not the patients. I am also accredited A on the Better Business Bureau, WebMD, Vitals and several other sites. I have served my community for free in the past if insurance was not covered. I am unable to provide free services for births, I try to make up by working with your budget and will try for out-of-pocket reimbursements from insurance. I also serve the Elite communities as well. I offer a one of a kind genetic testing, Mommy care kits, Parenting courses, prep for Midwifery entry trainings, NRP, BLS, BBP, STABLE and, PALS.

Hi! I’m Greta, a doula offering prenatal and postpartum support to families in Middle Tennessee and virtually through my practice, Cradle & Kin. I’m also a wife to Brandon and mama to our daughter Charlotte, and I’ve always held a deep respect for the weight and beauty of motherhood. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season are meaningful, vulnerable transitions, and I believe they deserve thoughtful, compassionate support. After experiencing firsthand how impactful it is to be well supported during this time, I felt called to offer that same care to other families. I view this work as a calling and a way to serve families with Christ-centered care, compassion, and support. I strive to serve families with during pregnancy and postpartum with education, emotional support, and practical care. However you’re entering this chapter, whether with joy, questions, overwhelm, or all of the above, I would be honored to walk alongside you and be a small part of the village supporting your growing family :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Greta. She was truly incredible—so intuitive and nurturing in every moment. She seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even said it, whether it was help processing my birth experience, a listening ear, or a few quiet minutes just to rest. She jumped right in with meal prep, laundry, and all the little tasks that feel so overwhelming in this season. She cared for my older child with such gentleness and joy, giving me the rare gift of being able to lie down and fully soak in those newborn snuggles without worry. Her presence brought so much peace, support, and ease into our home. I’m endlessly grateful for the way she cared for our whole family and can not wait to have her again for all our future babies! Highly, highly recommend.

After going through multiple pregnancy losses and receiving support from other women, I knew that I wanted to learn how to support women through labor and birth, both in the extreme highs and extreme lows of that journey. I was trained in 2018 and have been practicing ever since! My doula career began in San Antonio and is now continuing in middle Tennessee, where I live with my husband and 3 beautiful children. I truly see doula work as a calling and ministry. I am passionate about empowering and supporting women, and I would love to walk alongside you in your pregnancy and birth!
