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.

Emily Budine

If you need any help with your family - I'm your girl! I have over a decade of experience ranging from babysitting, full time nannying, household management, personal assisting, and pet care (dogs, cats, fish, chickens, horses, bunnies - you name it!) to errands, chores, transportation to/from activities, organization, cleaning, meal prep and more. I nannied and assisted HNW families in the Savannah GA area for 5 years during college. During this time I had a lot of early mornings and late nights caring for kiddos and pets, completing random jobs around the house and running lots of errands for my clients. After moving to Nashville 4 years ago, I continued caring for and assisting HNW families in Middle TN alongside my full time job. I was determined to grow my network of families like I did in Savannah and it worked! I've found myself doing kitchen and closet organization, caring for special needs animals and children, helping with potty training, sleep training, introduction to solids, breastfeeding and everything in between. In high school I also worked as a teacher at a Montessori-type day care and preschool in the Greater NYC area. While there I worked primarily with ages 1-2yrs and completed multiple trainings including: CPR, First Aid, Child Development, Baby Sign Language, and Behavior Management. Over the years I've worked events, birthday parties, summer camps, served in kid's ministry, led a middle school small group and served as a Young Life leader. And on top of it ALL I have the privilege of loving on my newborn nephew and helping my special needs father when I visit home & taking care of my dog, Theo, for almost a year now! I'm 27yrs old with 12 years of experience in family care & 4 years of experience in production management. I have a Bachelor's degree, safe transportation, and NEVER partake in smoking or recreational drugs of any kind. I've been described as organized, clean (maybe a little Type A), energetic, personable, and detail oriented. I can't wait to learn more about you and build a special bond with another amazing family!

Emily cared for our two children, ages 1 and 4, for four years while attending our local university, and during that time she became so much more than a babysitter — she became an important part of our family. From the very beginning, Emily demonstrated an incredible level of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness. We always felt completely confident leaving our children in her care, knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for. Emily is capable, dependable, and incredibly thoughtful in every aspect of caregiving. She safely provided transportation for our children when needed, prepared meals, and even helped care for our pets. She handled every responsibility with maturity and attention to detail, making our busy family life run more smoothly. What truly sets Emily apart is the energy and warmth she brings into a home. She creates a fun, supportive, and safe environment while still maintaining structure and reliability. She brought so much joy to our children’s lives and gave us tremendous peace of mind as parents. Our children absolutely adore her, and the bond they formed with her is something we will always cherish. Emily’s kindness, reliability, and natural ability with children are truly exceptional. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts and remain a part of our family.

She is known for her warmth, patience, and intuitive ability to learn and guide people in the newness of parenthood. Whether Jorie’s clients find themselves in the midst of labor or navigating the beautiful chaos of life with a newborn, she is there to walk alongside them every step of the way.

As first-time parents living in a new state without family or friends nearby, we knew we wanted extra support during pregnancy and birth. We had heard about the benefits of hiring a doula for labor and delivery, but what we didn't realize until we met Jorie was how much support a doula truly provides before, during, and long after birth. Around five months into my pregnancy, we interviewed three doulas to make sure we found someone who was the right fit. We instantly connected with Jorie. Her kindness, communication style, and depth of knowledge immediately put us at ease, and we hired her on the spot. After meeting for coffee, Jorie came to our home to get to know us, meet our dogs, and see us in our own environment. She provided educational resources during our visits and followed up with thoughtful emails so we could continue learning and revisit information whenever we needed it. She helped guide us through creating our birth plan, ensuring we understood all of our options so we could make informed decisions and set realistic expectations for ourselves. One of the greatest gifts Jorie gave us was helping us build our support team beyond our OB-GYN, primary care provider, and pediatrician. She encouraged us to connect with an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), a lymphatic drainage specialist, and a pelvic floor therapist before birth. Those professionals, along with Jorie, became an integral part of our care. Their expertise helped us not only navigate pregnancy but truly thrive throughout postpartum. When it came time for our hospital birth, Jorie was there every step of the way. She carefully documented details from our birth experience and, a few weeks later, met with us to walk through our birth story. That conversation was incredibly healing. She helped fill in gaps from moments we couldn't fully remember, process our experience, and find closure. Having that opportunity allowed us to move into the postpartum chapter with greater confidence and peace. What continues to amaze me is that Jorie's support didn't end there. She has stayed in touch throughout the years, checking in on us and our little boy, who is now turning two. She has become part of our family's story, and we love her dearly. If you're on the fence about hiring a doula, I encourage you to meet Jorie for a cup of coffee and learn more about what she offers. I also encourage you not to let cost be the only factor that keeps you from exploring doula support. Looking back, the guidance, education, advocacy, and care we received before, during, and after birth were some of the most valuable investments we made as new parents. Jorie's impact on our family has been immeasurable, and I cannot recommend her highly enough as both a doula and future IBCLC.

Morgan Schauer

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!

Morgan is such a kind, caring, beautiful soul, that will be an amazing support during the most important time of your life. She is intentional, proactive and attentive- she will surely be the best fit for all of your birthing needs. I have witnessed first hand how well Morgan reacts under pressure and I can say she is someone I would want in my corner while giving birth. As a mom, Morgan is experienced as she handles things with grace and has such a soothing presence. I think Morgan with Haven Birthing Co would be such a great choice as a doula for your birthing journey.

Dez Skalski

I began my doula career in 2021 and have since supported more than 100 families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and the transition into early parenthood. My clients have ranged from young and underserved parents navigating pregnancy with limited support to experienced parents welcoming their third baby. Through my experiences, the work I continually found myself drawn back to is education, especially helping first-time parents make sense of an experience that can feel incredibly overwhelming from the outside. Over the years, that passion has expanded beyond birth support into childbirth education, postpartum care, newborn education, and pediatric sleep.

We worked with Dez as a night nurse when our newborn was just a few weeks old, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care. She was professional, calm, dependable, and incredibly dedicated to helping both our baby and our family. What really made Dez stand out from others we had worked with was her ability to troubleshoot challenges as they came up. She brought a wealth of knowledge and insight, and she was always willing to share practical guidance that helped us better understand our baby’s needs and, ultimately, become a better sleeper. We always felt that our baby was in excellent hands, which gave us the peace of mind we needed during those early weeks/months. We would wholeheartedly recommend Dez to any family looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy member of their childcare team!

Working with Amana Birth Services was transformative and affirming. I am so grateful to have consulted with Rachel to prepare for the delivery of my first child. During our meetings, she provided detailed information, always exercised patience and care, and consistently followed up with resource guides and thorough learnings to help me get organized and prepared.
