Christa was my daughter’s midwife in Clarksville, TN. I was present at the birth and was very impressed by Christa’s knowledge and experience. She was very professional and thorough with all her checks and was always super thorough even taking notes throughout the labor process. She had a very calm demeanor throughout the entire process and offered so many different helpful techniques and positions that really made everyone feel like everything was under control. Even at the end when things weren’t progressing as they should she immediately moved into action knew just what to do so my precious grandson was born safely and healthy at home. I personally have had 6 children at home and have watched other midwife’s work during my friend’s labor and I will put Christa at the top of that list for someone you can definitely trust to give you a safe home birth that’s tailored to you and your family. I cannot say enough good things about her! She was simply amazing and I’m so thankful that she was the one that my daughter found to attend her birth! Thank you Christa!
— Tracy J., review of Christa West
Dannette is amazing! She helped me achieve my dream natural unmedicated birth! Even before the arrival of our son, she met with me to go over my goals and gave me some great assistance learning different ways to labor at home and in the hospital. She was incredible on speaking up on my behalf to ensure my goals were going to be met. At first, the hospital was not willing to work with my birth plan but thankfully she made sure to continue to inform them of my plan and I was able to have my dream natural birth in a hospital. This was also my first pregnancy and I truly could not have done it without her help. She also was extremely helpful during postpartum with its many challenges and thoughtfully brought us a delicious meal as well. I highly recommend her assistance and I am forever grateful she was my doula.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Chelsea. She cared for our daughter, London, for the first three months of her life, and I genuinely don’t know how we would have survived those early months without her. She became such an important part of our family during one of the biggest transitions of our lives. From the very beginning, Chelsea went above and beyond in every possible way. The care she gave London was incredible — she was loving, attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and completely dependable. There is an enormous amount of trust involved in handing your newborn over to someone, and with Chelsea, we never had to think twice. We knew London was safe, loved, and being cared for as if she were her own. What makes Chelsea truly special, though, is that she doesn’t just care for the baby — she cares for the entire family. She constantly checked in on both of us as new parents and genuinely cared about how we were doing physically and emotionally. She once told us how gratifying it was for her to watch us grow into our roles as mom and dad, and that perfectly captures who she is. She wasn’t simply there to do a job; she was invested in our family and in helping us become confident parents. Her support also extended far beyond the terms of her contract. As our time together was coming to an end and we realized we needed additional childcare, Chelsea went out of her way to help us figure out what came next. She helped us find additional care for London, posted on our behalf, helped us search for nannies, made connections, and continued looking out for our family even when there was absolutely nothing in it for her. That level of care and commitment is incredibly rare. Chelsea gave us peace of mind, sleep, reassurance, guidance, and so much support during a time when we desperately needed all of those things. Most importantly, she loved and cared for London so beautifully. If we ever needed her again, I would hire Chelsea in a second. I would trust her completely with London, and there is truly no higher compliment I could give someone. Any family lucky enough to have Chelsea caring for their baby — and for them — will be in exceptional hands. We will forever be grateful that she was part of London’s first few months and such an important part of the beginning of our journey as parents.

What is a doula and why should you hire one?
A doula is a trained support specialist who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and after childbirth. 98.6% of births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, and nearly all of them require some kind of medical intervention. However, doula-supported deliveries are linked to shorter labor, decreased need for medications, fewer c-sections, higher rates of breastfeeding initiation, less anxiety, and less postpartum depression.
Can you pay for a doula with HSA or FSA funds in Jackson, TN?
To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally need to be considered medically necessary. You might need a doctor's note or prescription stating that doula services are necessary for a specific medical condition. Keep detailed records of payments and any supporting documentation, such as a doctor's note or prescription, to substantiate that the expense was medically necessary.
Are doulas covered by insurance in Jackson, TN?
Tennessee has approved Medicaid coverage for doula services, but implementation and provider enrollment are still underway. Access around Jackson is especially limited, with only two doulas listed within 60 miles. Private insurance coverage varies by plan, so check directly with your insurer about doula benefits and reimbursement.
What types of doulas are for hire in Jackson, TN?
Within 60 miles of Jackson, two doulas are for hire, and both are listed as general doulas without naming birth or postpartum services. No birth-only doulas are listed; this type supports clients through labor and delivery. No postpartum-only doulas are listed; these doulas assist families after childbirth. No doulas are listed for both birth and postpartum care; this type provides support during delivery and after the baby arrives. The two general listings offer doula support without being assigned to any of the other service categories.
When should I hire a doula in pregnancy?
You can start researching and contacting doulas as early as your first trimester. This allows you ample time to find a doula who aligns with your birth plan and build a rapport with them. Many people choose to hire a doula during their second trimester, around weeks 12 to 27. By this point, you likely have a clearer understanding of your birth preferences and can engage a doula who can provide support tailored to your needs. If you’re in your third trimester or even approaching your due date, it’s not too late to hire a doula. Some individuals make this decision later in pregnancy due to various reasons, and doulas can still offer valuable support and information during this time. The availability of doulas in your area may also influence when you hire one. In some regions, experienced doulas may have limited availability, so it’s wise to start your search early to secure the support you desire.
What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?
A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.
