How Much Does a Midwife or Home Birth Midwife Cost in Nashville, TN?

Hi I'm Iva! I am a newly certified Birth and Postpartum Doula located in Murfreesboro TN. Birth is my passion and I love to talk about it, read about it, and listen to others about it. Even more, I love to help and serve mothers who are about to go through it. Women are not meant to labor and birth alone- that is why it is my hope that I can be their hands and feet as they accomplish something that can be both hard and very beautiful work. I enjoy going outside with my husband and three little girls, reading good books, and eating good food.

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.

I am a mom of three, a doula and we are a military family! I work with all kinds of family to support their needs and choices throughout pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. I am also in-network provider for Tricare East and a certified lactation councilor.

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.

Welcome. I’m Serena Kachinsky, CPM, RN, a Certified Professional Midwife and Registered Nurse living and practicing on The Farm. Through my individual practice, Metamorphosis Midwifery & Wellness, I serve families throughout southern Middle Tennessee with care that blends more than two decades of emergency nursing experience with the wisdom of traditional community midwifery. My approach is evidence-informed, relationship-centered, and grounded in informed consent, honoring pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as profound rites of passage worthy of individualized, compassionate care. My goal is not simply to help babies be born, but to help parents emerge from birth feeling strong, seen, and empowered. 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.

Hi! I’m Morgan, a holistic doula based in Spring Hill, TN. With a passion for pregnancy, birth and postpartum support, I advocate for women to choose the path that resonates with them, blending traditional midwifery and free birth philosophies. Having personally experienced the enchantment of childbirth twice as a mother, I aspire to guide and empower other moms on their magical journey. At 25, a wife, and a mother of two boys (3 and 6 months), I bring a unique perspective to my practice. Balancing holistic approaches with an understanding of the essential role of western medical intervention, I ensure a supportive and diverse approach to each pregnancy. As a former hairstylist, I’ve transitioned my passion for nurturing to the realm of birth. Outside of doula work, you’ll find me indulging my Scorpio spirit, watercolor painting, enjoying music, and perhaps a bit too passionately savoring my coffee. Let’s embark on your birthing journey together, embracing the magic and empowerment it brings!

Hi! I am mom to 10 children, birth activist, doula, and childbirth educator. I work hard to change the birth culture in Nashville by educating doulas, improving birth and baby loss care in the local hospitals, organizing Empower Your Birth conferences, donating peanut balls to 14 area hospitals, changing the TN newborn eye ointment law to be more favorable to parents, and fighting for parents/doulas rights during Covid.

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.

I’m Rachel, a birth companion (doula) and postpartum caregiver supporting mothers preparing for natural, physiologic birth and a supported postpartum transition. I work with mothers who are doing their best to prepare, but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, medical pressure, and not knowing who or what to trust.

My role is to help you stay grounded, informed, and supported so you can move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with clarity instead of confusion. My background includes out of hospital birth, herbalism, holistic maternal care, and lived experience as a homebirth mother. My work is also grounded in faith in the Most High YHWH and a respect for birth as a natural process. Support includes: prenatal education and birth preparation help understanding options so decisions are not made under pressure nervous system support for labor and emotional steadiness postpartum care guidance so you are not left to navigate recovery alone I take on a limited number of clients each month to provide consistent support throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Amana is for mothers who want steady, grounded support, value discernment, and want to stay connected to their body and values throughout the process.
