I love working with first-time parents, moms planning VBACs, and parents planning both medication-free and epidural births. Let me help you have a safe, healthy, beautiful birth, too!

After going through multiple pregnancy losses and receiving support from other women, I knew that I wanted to learn how to support women through labor and birth, both in the extreme highs and extreme lows of that journey. I was trained in 2018 and have been practicing ever since! My doula career began in San Antonio and is now continuing in middle Tennessee, where I live with my husband and 3 beautiful children. I truly see doula work as a calling and ministry. I am passionate about empowering and supporting women, and I would love to walk alongside you in your pregnancy and birth!

Daisy grew up in a small town in Alaska with her 6 siblings. She has always had a huge interest in pregnancy and birth, as she attended many of her aunts midwife prenatal visits and even one of her births at a young age. In January 2019, Daisy decided to move forward in pursuing a job in the birth worker world. She discovered what a birth doula was and soon found a certification program in Nashville TN that offered everything she was wanting. She was working in the Army as a military police at the same time as she was doing her certification, so the process took a little longer than expected but it allowed her to truly educate herself and work towards this new lifestyle for herself. When not doing birth work, Daisy enjoys spending time with her boyfriend and his three children. They do many outdoor activities to include; water parks, camping, fishing, and swimming. Daisy is certified as a labor and birth doula through Blissful Birthing TN, certified as a childbirth educator through Childbirth International, and certified as a placenta encapsulation specialist through Brilliant Birth Academy. She is also trained as a postpartum doula through Blissful Birthing TN.

I have a passion for community assistance ever since I have knowledge. I remember as a little girl helped the elders after school at only 9 years old. As years passed me passion for helping our community grew stronger. So I began my journey in the medical field as a RMA in the OB GYN specialty. I still felt that I can do more for my community and one day in bible study a lady I met called herself a Doula and I asked what is a doula and once she explained to me what a Doula is I immediately looked into it and it was an instant match for me. I was already working with moms and babies but being even more close to my clients and the community was an extraordinary feeling of accomplishment. I got certify as a Doula Business Owner, Lactation consultant, Birth Doula, Holistic nutrition, placenta encapsulation specialist all to be an all in one package for my clients. I strongly believe that it lessens the stress when a doula can carry multiple specialties needed to avoid referring and the client to be seeing multiple appointments in a day. I strongly believed that aliviaron the amount of appointments and be less overwhelming for the clients. I look forward to being your birth doula.

Hello, my name is Reneishia McDowell I am a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, Doula, and Child Birth Educator. I am a Spiritual Doula based in Memphis, TN. I provide the following services of Emotional, Physical, and Mental support during, before, and/or after birth. On my journey in the medical field, I've always wanted to deliver babies and "be the first person a baby sees when they enter the world." After having my own personal experience of a natural birth, I felt that the next time it would be in the comfort of my own home or birthing center. My birth was by far the most beautiful experience. Although, I delivered in a hospital, having a natural birth made me feel superior, strong, and confident. I want to make a difference with women that would love to have a natural water birth their way. Here at Empathetic Hands LLC, you the client is in charge of how you would want your pregnancy to be. I am here to support you throughout your journey. I will be there to assure you throughout your entire experience and I will make sure it's magically relaxing.
