Hey there! My name is Emily Vanderoef and I’m a Certified Birth Doula. Whether you got here by accident or on purpose, I’m so glad you have taken time to read this! Hiring a doula is no small thing and I am honored by your consideration! My passion for women's health and birth stems from my personal experiences and observations. Over the years, I have witnessed the beauty and natural process of childbirth. Having first been present for the births of several friends and family members. It was this, that inspired me to deepen my knowledge and skills. This led me to pursue my certification as a doula, so that I could support and guide expecting mothers all over, through this transformative, magical journey. I believe that every woman deserves to have an empowering birth experience, and I am dedicated to providing the compassionate care and assistance to make that a reality. My passion is for helping others on their own unique path to motherhood.

I’m Emma — a mother of four and a Christian birth doula who believes birth is sacred, holy, and thoughtfully designed by our Creator. I trust that women’s bodies were created without flaw and are more than capable of birthing, and my role is to gently support and protect that design. I bring a calm, steady, and nurturing presence into the birth space, intentionally creating an atmosphere of peace, safety, and confidence as labor unfolds. With quiet reassurance and intuitive support, I help mothers stay grounded, informed, and in control of their birth decisions while working collaboratively with their care team. Birth is holy work. I am deeply intentional about protecting the atmosphere of the room—creating a space where peace is prioritized, voices are respected, and mothers feel supported to labor and birth with confidence and calm.

Hi, I’m Jada. I am a mother of 3 and have had a homebirth. Homebirths are my favorite thing in the birth world. I take great pride in helping mothers navigate their birth and pregnancies. I love educating on all topics. Being allowed into women’s birth spaces is such a sacred thing for me and I hold it so close to my heart.

Hi, I’m Becca — a postpartum doula who believes every family deserves to feel cared for, supported, and seen during the fourth trimester and beyond. I’ve spent over 20 years working with families, including ten as a nanny and several more as a caretaker, and those experiences have given me a deep understanding of what it means to show up with compassion and calm in life’s tender moments. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest with an appreciation for natural beauty, 90s country music, and the comfort that comes from a good home-cooked meal. I bring humor, heart, and an almost alarming knowledge of song lyrics to my work — because sometimes what a new parent needs most is a helping hand, a warm meal, and someone who can make them laugh when the day feels long. My goal is simple: to help you rest, recover, and find your rhythm in this new season of life — one step (and one smile) at a time

I am a community birth worker based in the Greater Chattanooga, TN area. I have been providing professional, community-based perinatal, postpartum, and lactation education and support since 2014. I have trained and/or been educated in multiple, complementary modalities to enhance and support the work I provide in the birthing communities that I am blessed to be apart of. Through my own pregnancies and birth experiences, in addition to the family's I have been blessed to support; I have diverse skillsets to enrich and prepare my clients for the birth experiences they envision. I myself have been blessed to be the mother of 7 and am married with a very supportive spouse. My entire adult life has been dedicated to being of service. Birthwork is a second career for me as I previously was a cosmetologist for 25 years prior to retiring in 2011. I am also a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces having honorably served 8 years in the U.S. Navy. When not working in the birth space I find enjoyment in spending quality time with family, traveling, outdoors activities, and crafting, and cooking. I enjoy research on topics centered around pregnancy and birth and it's complexities. I am a mentor to other birthworkers and apprenticing to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM aka "homebirth midwife").

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I'm a postpartum doula in Chattanooga, TN. I'm excited to light the way as you transition from pregnancy into this season with a sweet new baby. As a mom of 3, I know firsthand that the postpartum period isn't always a smooth ride. It can be difficult to figure out how to sleep while also meeting your baby's needs, who will cook the meals and wash the dishes, when you will deal with those piles of laundry, and what to do with older siblings as they navigate this emotional time, often needing more attention than normal. A doula since 2023, I have a heart for serving the whole family in their birth and postpartum season. I attended around 20 births the past couple of years and have served a handful of families with newborns. I now focus exclusively on providing exceptional postpartum care in the Chattanooga area. If you are looking for a postpartum doula who tailors support to your specific needs, works with your schedule, and who becomes a trusted friend to her clients even after our time together is over, I would love to chat with you.

I embarked on this beautiful journey in 2021 when I assisted a mama during her freebirth (the practice of women birthing their baby without medical or midwifery assistance.) Witnessing the police being called on her twice and other people trying to object to her BIRTH RIGHTS, I decided to become a certified Doula (a professional labor assistant who provides physical and emotional support to you and your partner during pregnancy) so that I may advocate for all birthing people and their partners.

I'm Hannah, I am a social worker and mother of 4 children who were all exclusively breastfed. I have attended a C-section twin birth, one home birth and two hospital vaginal births. I am new to the doula world, so I am offering lower rates, but that doesn't mean that I am unskilled or unexperienced. If there is something I don't know, I will learn. I am here to provide whatever type of birthing experience you want- to the best of my ability. My mental health back ground makes me uniquely qualified to support mothers who may be prone to postpartum depression. I also offer parenting classes and wedding officiant services.

Though my certifications are recent, the roles I’ve filled over the past 20 years reflect a deep and ongoing commitment to nurturing families. Long before formal titles, training, and certifications were widely available, I served as a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, lactation consultant, new parent educator, developmental coach, nanny, governess, and household manager. I bring a holistic, family-centered approach to newborn care, collaborating with parents to provide emotional, physical, and practical support customized to each family’s needs.

Hello! My name is Amanda Millsap. I’m a midwive’s assistant turned doula. I think my experience is a little bit unique in the fact that I attended around 60 home births before I ever helped parents out in a hospital setting. I have since become quite familiar with the hospitals in Chattanooga and Dalton, and have worked with many providers in these areas. I have a compiled list of other providers also. For example, chiropractors, pelvic floor therapist, massage therapist and more. It is my goal to provide you with education surrounding parenthood, help you and your family navigate through unfamiliar territory, and hopefully help you feel confident in your decisions. I look forward to becoming a member of your team!

In addition, I have 5+ years of babysitting experience across different ages, which has given me a strong foundation in supporting children through each stage of development. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I take safety and attentiveness very seriously. In my previous roles, I have provided not only loving care but also help with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, sleep schedules, and gentle preschool activities. I am also comfortable with light cooking, cleaning, transportation, and ever overnight care when needed. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and supportive environment for newborns while also giving parents peace of mind. I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with families and feel honored to be a part of a child's earliest milestones. I would love to connect and see how I can best support your family!

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.

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!
