Hi my passion is being a doula. I love helping moms I have 4 of my own which are now grown. I will be there to guide you, to comfort you, to help you come up with a birth plan. I have answer all your questions and fears about childbirth.

Hi there! My name is Katie Sam Smith. I am a birth doula based in Bowling Green, KY and serving the surrounding KY/TN area. I am passionate about matrescence and want to help my clients envision and accomplish the birth of their dreams! I am a mom to a miracle baby, and my pregnancy involved a very rare diagnosis, fetal surgery, bedrest, and a NICU stay (when my original plan was a homebirth!). I am well aware of how vulnerable and scary this season of life can be. But I also know that your body and your baby were MADE to do this! My goal is not to teach you how to birth, make choices for you, or replace your partner. My goal is to provide you with information as well as physical, emotional, and spiritual support so that you can feel confident walking into your birth. I have been told that I instinctively know how to support my clients, and that I am a calming presence. Due to my son's diagnosis, I am also a veteran at communicating with medical personnel and advocating for those in vulnerable situations. Reach out today to schedule a free interview (call, text, or message through the site)! I am happy to support clients regardless of birthing preferences, marital status, religion, etc. I am comfortable in hospitals, birthing centers, and in homes and will travel on a case-by-case basis. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, I am KD the Doula! I have been in the birth world for three years, serving families through birth and postpartum care. My philosophy remains rooted interest, compassion, and personalized care. I believe that every individual deserves a safe. Informed and loving experience. I am honored to be a part of that process.

I’m Karissa Pritchett, the founder of D.O.E., and a certified labor and postpartum doula, VBAC specialist, and childbirth and newborn care educator. After having my daughter in 2017, I became deeply inspired by the transformative power of birth. Like many, my experience included highs and lows, and I know how easy it can be to feel overwhelmed or lost in the demands of parenthood. Let’s be real: you are more than just a parent, spouse, or coworker—you’re you. We’re here to give you the rest, guidance, and strength you need to navigate this major life transition smoothly and confidently. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for you and your family, so you can embrace this time with clarity and purpose.

Hello, My name is Merissa Khumalo, and I am an educator and long-term nanny turned Birth and Postpartum Doula! I have a passion for holistic health and have experience with families of many different backgrounds. I feel called to this career and can use my skills to support families from conception to contraction and beyond! I am knowledgeable in herbalism, nutrition, exercise, breastfeeding, essential oils, sleep training, baby-led weaning, cloth diapering, chronic illness support, healthy home practices, and so much more! I will help you sing, shout, and let it all out during birth while acting professionally as your biggest advocate--whether you decide on a home or hospital birth.
