Nina Sharpley

4 years of experience

Hi everyone! My name is Nina-Symone Sharpley and I am currently in school to get my birth doula certification under Childbirth Professionals International. However, I have been in early childhood development for three years with a focus in infant care. As I complete my training and hopefully get the experience in birth support, I would love to extend postpartum help to those in need of it!

Recent review

In 2019 I started my "trying" journey. I had two children previously but due to a contraceptive implant issue I was struggling to get pregnant for a third time. Annie guided me on how to advocate for myself which helped me be officially diagnosed with PCOS and a difficulty ovulating by December 2020. Early 2021 I was able to get medicinal intervention and get pregnant with my sweet littlest. I relied heavily on Annie's advice about diet, exercise, remembering to listen to my body, and advocating for myself. I suffered the third trimester with chronic nosebleeds, turns out was an open lesion in my left sinus. I would have just given in and let it go if not for the gentle and kindly advice. Annie lives 6 hours away from me, and if it weren't for little Eevee being born in less than that, she would have been here for her birth. But I had her in my heart, mind, and ear helping me advocate for the best delivery I could have. Since then, I have continued to keep a close friendship with Annie, and can easily say that if you want the very best care and to feel like you not only matter but are family, Annie Hill is the very best of the best.

As a Doula I have the privilege of witnessing the miracle of life unfold before my eyes. I’m constantly in awe of the strength and resilience of the women I support, and I feel honored to be part of their journey into motherhood. There is nothing quite like the feeling of helping a woman feel empowered and confident as she brings her baby into the world. Whether it’s providing physical comfort measures, emotional reassurance, or informational support, I love being able to make a positive impact on someone’s birth experience. From the moment I meet a client I am dedicated to helping her achieve the birth she deserves. I love watching the bond between a mother and her partner grow stronger as they prepare to meet their baby, and in the midst of the chaos and beauty of labor, I am constantly inspired by the courage and determination of the women I support. Being a Doula is not just a job it’s a calling it’s a chance to make a real difference in someone’s life and to be a part of a moment that will be etched in their memory forever I feel grateful and I’m humbled every time I get to be a part of this journey, and I can’t Imagine a more rewarding career. Thanks, Elizabeth Higgins 9793298289 Motherlyconnections@gmail.com

My name is Ceara Jamerson. I am from El Dorado, Arkansas but I currently live in Jacksonville, Arkansas. I have been a nurse since 2019 working mostly in pediatrics and LTC. My dream has always been to become a Labor and Delivery Nurse. Earlier this year, I started researching the process of becoming a Doula in Arkansas. With my research I was able to find and enroll myself in Doula Training. I am now officially a Certified Doula. Although I am in the Central Arkansas area, I will be accepting clients for both in person and virtual appointments. If you know any expecting moms or anyone that simply wants more information on what services a Doula can provide, please refer them to me. Thank you all for your continued support - Ceara Jamerson

Doula Services FAQs

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 Little Rock, AR?

To use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, they generally needed 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.

How much does a doula cost in Little Rock, AR?

The cost of a doula in Little Rock, AR can vary depending on factors such as experience, services offered, and the length of support provided. On average, the cost of a doula in Little Rock, AR ranges from $800 to $1200. However, prices can be higher or lower based on individual doula practices. It is recommended to research and interview several doulas to find one that best fits your needs and budget.

Are doulas covered by insurance in Little Rock, AR?

Insurance coverage for a doula in Little Rock, AR, depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. While some insurance companies may cover part or all of the cost of a doula as part of maternity care, many do not include this service. It’s best to check directly with your insurance provider to see if they offer reimbursement or coverage for doula services. You can also ask your doula if they provide invoices for insurance claims or if they have experience working with insurance. Additionally, Medicaid in some states has started to cover doula services, so it's worth checking if Arkansas Medicaid includes this benefit.

What types of doulas are for hire in Little Rock, AR?

In Little Rock, AR, you can find various types of doulas for hire, including birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and sometimes specialized doulas like fertility or bereavement doulas. Birth doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy and labor, helping parents navigate the birthing process. Postpartum doulas assist families after childbirth, offering help with newborn care, emotional support, and guidance during the adjustment period. Some doulas may also offer services tailored to specific needs, such as support for high-risk pregnancies or loss. Availability and offerings may vary, so it's helpful to research local doula services or organizations for tailored support.

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.
