Hi, I’m Kennedy Key — a postpartum doula with a passion for walking alongside families as they adjust to life with their new baby. I currently work in the OB/GYN department at Vanderbilt, where I get to support women and families through some of their most meaningful moments.

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. That calling led me to become a doula; I desire to support and uplift mamas through their own birth journeys, and to help families find their innate wisdom when it comes to birth. 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. I offer sincere, compassionate care, with a deep respect for the sacredness of birth. Birth is a hurricane- it's messy, it's hard. It's also beautiful and empowering. If you're transitioning from maiden to mother for the first time, or traveling through the inward journey of labor once again, I'd be deeply honored to walk with you and serve you... and to nourish your family with love and loyalty during this transformative time in your life.

What I love about Veronica the most is that she takes into consideration the needs, preferences, and unique challenges of your child and tailors her sleep recommendations based on that. We all know every child and parent is different and she was able to provide recommendations based on the needs of MY family! She is great to work with and I highly recommend her.

My name is Abalonia Leavitt. I am a mother of five beautiful children, married, driven , passionate. I love traveling especially as a midwife. I enjoy watching TV spending, time with my children and, taking vacations. I've had a passion for conception pregnancy and birth since I was a teenager. I would spend hours in the library researching and learning about embryology, neonatology and, obstetrics. As a mother, I know how important it is to have quality care, more importantly to feel heard. feeling empowered, Informed. like an ally you can rely on! You shouldn't have to feel like you're fighting against your beliefs and intuition. Most importantly you want what's best for your baby. Some season practitioners are stuck in their ways I'm trying to bridge that Gap between hospital being a normality back to Midwifery being the sole purpose and providers for pregnancy aside from high risk pregnancies. I aim to lower mortality and morbidity rates among women and babies in the United States. I provide quality evidence-based care. I believe that "No one cares how much you know until, they know how much you care! At Leavitt's Itty-Bitty Delivery that is our commitment to our clients. With over 10 years of experience in the birthing field over 30 certifications, I strive to find answers and question everything with or without clinical trials, ACOG recommended standard of care. I meet my clients where they are, not on a spectrum that places all we knew and know about midwifery today on a sliding scale! I aim to break those barriers and get answers to all things prenatal, postpartum and newborn assessments and unnecessary treatments given due to protocols and policies that protect themselves and not the patients. I am also accredited A on the Better Business Bureau, WebMD, Vitals and several other sites. I have served my community for free in the past if insurance was not covered. I am unable to provide free services for births, I try to make up by working with your budget and will try for out-of-pocket reimbursements from insurance. I also serve the Elite communities as well.

I love helping families during this sacred transition, and my work with children and families has shown how vital emotional health is for the mother, baby, and family. That means that everyone is getting the time they need. Siblings need one-on-one time with parent(s), baby need basic needs met round the clock, mom needs to rest and recover, and parents need time to connect with each other. I try to be a calm, peaceful, and non-intrusive presence to help relieve the tension by providing time for the family during this delicate period of transition. I look forward to seeing how I can help your family during postpartum transition.

Ghene’t is such a warm, calm, positive presence in our home. She watches my (now) 1 & 2 year old children and they love her. She is quick to get on the floor and use imaginative and educational play to engage them while also providing a nurturing and calm environment for them. She is reliable, communicative, and observant of the children’s needs and concerns. I have leaned on Ghene’t to help us through bedtime routines, developmental changes such as transitioning from a bottle to solids, and we will soon be tackling potty training. All in all, I can’t say enough good things about Ghene’t, we just love her!

Our Journey with Olivia started when I discovered that I was already almost 3 months pregnant. In fact before I was present at my niece’s birth when my sister also gave birth at home and Olivia was her midwife. Since then, I knew that when I got pregnant I would want her as my midwife. Of course this is a decision to be made as a couple so when I spoke with my husband he was quite apprehensive as we were in the most difficult financial phase of our lives and we could do it for free through the national health system. He told me “ My love, with that money we can feed many poor people and God will be more pleased with us, but you decide” to which I replied “But the pregnancy and birth are very important for the future of our baby and can affect him so much” so we decided to choose Olivia and giving birth at home. It was definitely the best decision. The only decision. Olivia took care of us from every corner that we didn’t even know existed. She gave us so much information and all through natural means. She is very down to earth at the same time. We followed all her advice and we understood all the science involved and I can tell you that the results where amazing. I was hearing and seeing my pregnant friends suffering and with bloated feet etc. I had the best pregnancy ever, no bloated feet, not exhausted, full of energy eating very well and the results were a very healthy son. My birth was not easy at all because of my body structure and my son had his head in the wrong position. It took 14 hours and most of it was in the expulsion part. I can tell you if I was in a Hospital I am sure they would have done a C-section. She advised us at every step in a very smooth and organic way with all the science involved explained and with simple daily steps. And she gave us all her love. On the birth day she involved the family and created the best environment for this very special day. The most difficult and the best day of our lives. I had my husband and my mother always around, and she explained them how to do this special massage to relieve the pain and special smoothies etc. I can’t explain all the magic but in such a difficult moment she makes the best environment happen. After the baby borns she is there for you to assist you in every detail, teach you and make you feel confident and happy without fears (there are so many new parents full of fears and even many arrive to not be able to breastfeed, and simply because they didn’t have this assistance). My husband, one week after the birth, said to me “you know, if we had more money I would pay Olivia much more because really, she is more than great, you were right!” I had amazing recovery after the birth because I followed all her advice and of course my family support. But truly her knowledge is amazing. She has more than 3000 births experience in very different conditions even in African countries with very poor conditions. And I think that that experience and her BIG heart made her a really amazing midwife and friend. I wish I had more words to describe better. Until today years later I ask her questions when my son is sick or I have any doubt, and always I get a complete response of someone who really cares. I hope she trains more people to be like her because this world really needs it. I had a very good friend giving birth some days before me in the hospital. She got no explanations what so ever and when she went home she and her baby were sick. So I advise her to consult Olivia which she did and then she called me and said “sister thank you so much really, Olivia saved us, she is amazing”. We are not aware but there are many diseases and conditions that a baby can get just because of the birth or the pregnancy, especially breathing problems ( like I have) and we can avoid it just having the right knowledge and help on our side. And Olivia, apart from being a good friend, she has that knowledge and gives that help. I know she is not in my country at the moment but I told her when I get pregnant again (soon inshallah) she must come or I will go to her because I don’t want anyone else but her as our midwife. I am sure God will reward her for her great heart and amazing “work”. Thank you Olivia. We love you.

Hi! I’m Greta, a doula offering prenatal and postpartum support to families in Middle Tennessee and virtually through my practice, Cradle & Kin. I’m also a wife to Brandon and mama to our daughter Charlotte, and I’ve always held a deep respect for the weight and beauty of motherhood. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season are meaningful, vulnerable transitions, and I believe they deserve thoughtful, compassionate support. After experiencing firsthand how impactful it is to be well supported during this time, I felt called to offer that same care to other families. I view this work as a calling and a way to serve families with Christ-centered care, compassion, and support. I strive to serve families with during pregnancy and postpartum with education, emotional support, and practical care. However you’re entering this chapter, whether with joy, questions, overwhelm, or all of the above, I would be honored to walk alongside you and be a small part of the village supporting your growing family :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Greta. She was truly incredible—so intuitive and nurturing in every moment. She seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even said it, whether it was help processing my birth experience, a listening ear, or a few quiet minutes just to rest. She jumped right in with meal prep, laundry, and all the little tasks that feel so overwhelming in this season. She cared for my older child with such gentleness and joy, giving me the rare gift of being able to lie down and fully soak in those newborn snuggles without worry. Her presence brought so much peace, support, and ease into our home. I’m endlessly grateful for the way she cared for our whole family and can not wait to have her again for all our future babies! Highly, highly recommend.

Dear Family, Hi, My name is Nanny Kate, TT, and I have been a Nanny/Household manager for nearly 26 years now. I am seeking a long term commitment, and will be exclusive to your family! I have a strong sense of family, having grown up with an older sister, and parents who just celebrated their 53rd Anniversary! My 10 year old niece and nephew, friends and my dog are the loves of my life! I began my career at 17 when I decided to be an intern at a law firm to start on the path of becoming an attorney. During my first week, the nanny for the owners of the firm would bring in their infant daughter to visit. She would hand the baby to me whenever she started crying because the crying would subside and turn into smiles and laughs. I was given the nickname of the “baby whisperer” After seeing this on multiple occasions, the owners asked if I would rather be their nanny then an intern. The rest is history!! As your nanny, my objective is to create a safe and fun learning environment for children of all ages, and will allow you to maximize your quality time with your child. My style of childcare is laid back but structured. I don’t favor strict schedules, but believe in maintaining an orderly house and routines. I want the child to learn as many self help skills as possible given their age, as well as positive reinforcement. I am an on-the-go nanny, and enjoy watching children learn through hands-on experiences and outings! Nanny Kate

Kate is an exceptional night nanny and newborn care specialist. Her expertise, gentle nature, and reliability brought us peace of mind during those early weeks. She not only cared for our baby with skill and compassion but also supported us as parents, offering valuable guidance and reassurance. Kate truly goes above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her care.
