Hello! I'm a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator, and Certified Body Ready Method® Pro who has passionately supported families during pregnancy and birth since 2001. (495 births attended as of August 2026!) I want you to have a positive and peaceful birth, no matter how your labor unfolds. (Think of me as your local tour guide and translator on a visit to a foreign land!) I serve families in the Middle TN region with in-person support and provide virtual assistance nationwide. I'd love to connect and share how I can help you have a better birth.

I am a birth doula and herbalist who supports women and families through pregnancy, labor and early motherhood with steady, hands-on care. I began my work as an herbalist over 10 years ago and over time I felt called to step more fully into the birth space - walking closely with families during one of the most important transitions of their lives.

Hi there, I am a home birth midwife who has been practicing since 2011. I have recently relocated from South Florida and have opened my availability to serve families in need of a birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation assistance and more while my home birth practice builds up in a new state. In my home birth practice I offer water birth, 70% of my clients choose to give birth in the water). You have freedom to labor and birth in any position you want, you are encouraged to eat and drink in labor, any decisions during your prenatal, birth and postpartum care are up to you. I can hep guide you but you are welcome to refuse almost anything in my care. This is your birth! I have extensive experience with breastfeeding, twins, newborns, etc. I love nurturing and educating families during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This time can be confusing for new parents but having someone to answer questions and provide support is crucial to making this an empowering experience. I’d love to be able to work with your family if we are a good fit. Feel free to reach out, I love to give information over the phone and offer complimentary, in person consultations.

Hi, I'm Corina - midwife, mother, and matrescence facilitator. For over 30 years, I’ve held sacred space for women at their most raw and powerful moments—guiding them through the threshold of childbirth and into the postpartum period as a midwife. As a single mother of three and a purpose-driven entrepreneur, I know intimately the ache of trying to hold it all together while slowly losing touch with myself. After the birth of my third daughter, I was brought to my knees by the depths of postpartum depression and anxiety. I turned to the very tools I now teach—embodiment, feminine power, and the transformational map of matrescence—to reclaim my life from burnout and disconnection. Today, as a midwife and transformational facilitator, I support mothers in doing the same: coming home to themselves, reigniting their passion, and stepping fully into the powerful, integrated women they were born to be—at home, in business, and in the world.

Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or growing your family, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and confident in your choices. Through personalized prenatal care, continuous labor support, postpartum follow-up, and a commitment to physiologic birth whenever safely possible, I walk alongside families with clinical expertise, calm presence, and wholehearted support.

My name is De’ Asia Ford, and I am a passionate mother, postpartum doula, and healthcare professional with a deep commitment to supporting women and families through some of life’s most transformative moments. My personal experiences as a mother, combined with my professional background in caregiving and my passion for maternal and family wellness, have shaped my desire to create safe, compassionate, and empowering spaces for new and growing families. Sacred Steps Doula Care was created from my belief that every mother deserves to feel supported, heard, respected, and cared for throughout her postpartum journey. My philosophy is rooted in nurturing the whole person, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, while honoring each family’s unique needs, values, traditions, and parenting choices. I believe postpartum support is not about telling a mother how to parent; it is about walking beside her, providing encouragement, practical support, education, reassurance, and a judgment free presence as she finds her confidence in motherhood. Through Sacred Steps Doula Care, my goal is to help families transition into parenthood with greater peace, confidence, and a sense of connection, reminding every mother that she does not have to take this sacred step alone.

Greetings! My name is Willow, mother to a sweet little girl named Alierah. After my own pregnancy and freebirth with my daughter, a fire was lit in me to find my place in birth work.

I'm holistic minded with a passion for sovereign birth in all settings - hospital or home- and a special spot in my heart for freebirth.

Let’s embark on your birthing journey together, embracing the magic and empowerment it brings!
