Cayleigh is a wife to Michael and mother to six children. Her passion for birth and all things maternal health began at the young age of fifteen as she began serving her family and friends through childbirth as a Doula. Throughout the years the desire to amplify the voices of mothers grew and Cayleigh's passion was on fire. She has maintained official certification as a Doula for five years and founded Birthing Well Doula Agency in an effort to serve her community in a deeper manner. The heart behind the agency is to mentor other Birth Workers while expanding accessibility to families in and around Tennessee. Her vision is to facilitate ministry to all who wish to acknowledge their calling into motherhood. Cayleigh hopes to one day own a facility that affords parents the opportunity to learn about themselves through pregnancy and cultivates one big family-like community. In her spare time, you will find Cayleigh cozied up in her favorite sweater, with her babies, sipping coffee, and worshipping Jesus.

When I had my second child and my fair share of breastfeeding struggles, I decided to use my nursing education as a basis for studying to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant after I was inspired by my own favorite IBCLC to help others. I have been certified with IBLCE since 2017 and have personal experience breastfeeding for a total of six years so far! (3.5 years with my first child, 2 years with my second child, and almost fifteen months with our new baby!) After over nine years of caring for the tiniest babies in the Chattanooga, TN area, I decided to found Nourish & Nurture to pursue my dream of being a lactation consultant in an outpatient setting. Breastfeeding comes with both joys and struggles, and I want to be available to mothers as a form of support wherever they are in their breastfeeding journey whether that's with learning the process, troubleshooting, pumping, or weaning.

As an experienced nurse, IBCLC , mom and grandmother I have a sincere appreciation for comprehensive lactation care. My goal is to listen, understand, educate and inspire you to achieve YOUR feeding goals.
