Hi, I’m Gina a holistic birth doula and lactation specialist serving families in the Nashville area. With over 12 years of experience in lactation support, I am a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and currently pursuing my IBCLC credential. I support families with evidence-based education, hands-on comfort measures, partner coaching, and personalized feeding guidance rooted in compassion and cultural awareness. I am also a mother of five, including a set of twins, and have personally experienced unmedicated birth, cesarean birth, and VBAC. I breastfed all of my children, which allows me to blend lived experience with professional expertise. I believe birth is sacred and transformative, and my role is to protect your peace, strengthen your voice, and help you feel confident and deeply supported from pregnancy through postpartum.

I met Gina TWO weeks before my due date, but she managed to make me feel like she had been there my entire pregnancy. Gina made sure I knew I had options and a CHOICE. My milk didn't come in until 8 days later, which was a true struggle for me mentally. Gina was there every step on the way- teaching me and encouraging me. I am now 3months pp and I use Gina as my google search engine for all things breastfeeding/breastmilk related. Lol. Gina is kind, patient, professional, calm, incredibly knowledgeable, and a true advocate to have in your corner. I would have given up on my breastfeeding journey if it had not been for her! I can't thank her enough for everything she has done and does for me. Gina is someone you need in your corner.

Hello, I'm Tanesha, the heart and hands behind Angelic Birthing Doula Services! I'm a wife, mother of three, and full-spectrum doula with a deep passion for supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, and the beautiful, sometimes unpredictable transition into parenthood. Outside of birthwork, life is beautifully full with my husband, our 27-year-old son, 26-year-old daughter, energetic 9-year-old son, and our 17-year-old Yorkie, Chanel, who has been part of the family long enough to have an opinion about just about everything! LOL! My connection to birthwork runs deeper than a profession. I come from a lineage of women who cared for, nurtured, and supported mothers and families, often while navigating systems that did not always honor their voices, experiences, or choices. Their strength, wisdom, and resilience have shaped how I show up in this space today. I carry that legacy with great intention, recognizing that every woman deserves to be heard, respected, informed, and supported throughout her birthing journey. As a full-spectrum doula, I provide holistic, hands-on support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period. My approach blends evidence-informed education, advocacy, traditional wisdom, and practical comfort measures while honoring the emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual needs of each family. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, considering an epidural, preparing for a VBAC, or navigating an unexpected change in your birth preferences, my role is to meet you where you are, without judgment or a one-size-fits-all approach. Beyond labor and birth, I offer postpartum care, breastfeeding guidance, placenta encapsulation, traditional Bengkung belly binding, and Closing-the-Bones Ceremonies, creating opportunities for families to feel nurtured and supported beyond their baby's arrival. I believe birth is more than a physical event. It is an experience that can shape how we see ourselves, our strength, our relationships, and the families we are becoming. My hope is that every family I support walks away feeling not only prepared for birth, but genuinely cared for throughout the journey. **At Angelic Birthing, your story matters, your voice matters, and you deserve to feel supported every step of the way.**

Tanesha was my first experience with a doula and she was better than I could have ever expected working with a doula. She made a difficult hospital birth as easy as it could have been, and I don't think I could have made it through without her. I would a thousand times recommend her to anyone looking for a doula in the Nashville area.

As a postpartum doula, I, Jana, am dedicated to helping new parents get much-needed restful nights while caring for their newborns. With genuine passion, I form meaningful connections and find joy in witnessing parents experience rejuvenating sleep, empowering them for the day ahead. My journey as a doula began after realizing my calling extended beyond the classroom, where I worked as an infant teacher for years. I provide emotional and physical support, tailoring my approach to each family. Operating in Franklin and nearby areas, my philosophy centers around nonjudgmental assistance, leaving families with a deep sense of worth and the belief that they can overcome challenges. By reducing stress, I enable mothers to prioritize self-care and bonding with their baby. Think of sleep as a valuable resource that needs to be replenished to help you function at your best. I am here to provide the assistance you need

I can’t say enough positive things about Jana. Both of my children adore her. She is passionate about children and it shows in the way she cares for them. She was my postpartum doula after the birth of my son and I can’t imagine having gone through that experience without her!!!! It’s incredibly important to get rest during that time but for me it was even more important to have peace of mind that whomever was taking care of my son at night was the best of the best! So grateful for Jana!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Heidi and the role she played in bringing our sweet Mila into the world! Our story with Heidi actually began during a previous pregnancy that unfortunately did not work out. Heidi was incredibly kind and compassionate through that experience and refunded the money we had paid her. We told her that when we were lucky enough to become pregnant again, we would be back; and although it took us a while to get there, we kept that promise. Throughout my pregnancy with Mila, Heidi was informative, supportive, and involved. She held classes with us, came to our home several times, and truly took the time to get to know us. By delivery day, she felt like someone we knew and completely trusted. During labor, Heidi was incredible. I was especially nervous about the epidural, and she stayed right beside me, keeping me calm and reassuring me. She used different techniques, positions, and comfort measures to help relieve pain and stress, and when we were faced with decisions, having her there to help us understand our options was invaluable. One of the most meaningful moments for my husband came right after Mila was born. Heidi guided him to go be with Mila while she stayed with me. In such an overwhelming moment, he wouldn’t have known what to do otherwise. Because of her, he was able to be there for those first moments with our daughter while knowing I wasn’t alone. After everything it took for us to finally welcome Mila, having Heidi by our side made the experience even more special. We will always be grateful that she is part of Mila’s birth story and could not recommend her enough!
