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!

Hi, I’m Gabriella! I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, a student of herbalism and aromatherapy, and an advocate for moms and growing families. I’m based in Dandridge and offer hands-on labor and postpartum care across the Knoxville and East Tennessee area, as well as virtual doula support for families across the country. So far, I’ve had the honor of supporting clients across 22 states (including TN, VA, KY, NC, SC, GA, FL, NY, NJ, PA, OH, MO, OK, TX, LA, MS, MD, AZ, CA, MT, WV, and beyond), and I’m working toward my personal goal of serving families in all 50! I believe in care that blends real, evidence-based preparation with natural wellness and emotional grounding. Whether you’re aiming for an unmedicated physiological birth, planning a hospital delivery, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, or preparing for a VBAC or cesarean, my job is to make sure you never feel alone or in the dark. Birth can be unpredictable, and if things shift or move fast, I’m there to keep the room calm, steady, and focused on you. Along with doula support, I offer birth photography, placenta encapsulation, and postpartum care. I also offer payment plans so professional support is actually accessible. When I’m not at a birth, I love reading, mentoring newer doulas, and hanging out with my family, my dogs, and my 3 guinea pigs.

Gabriella definitely helped me in more ways than 1. Throughout my pregnancy she consistently answered questions, taught me things I didn’t even think I needed but ultimately prepared me for so much and gave passionate care. She’s got an amazing gift for this. I thank God for that girl. 💞

Hi! I’m Chelsea, the owner of The Nestled Nook, and I’m a DONA trained postpartum doula with 4 years of experience supporting new families through the transition into parenthood. My passion for postpartum care comes from my own experience becoming a mother and realizing just how much support, reassurance, and education families need during those early days and nights. I believe parents deserve to feel confident and empowered in their choices, not overwhelmed by endless advice from Reddit or social media influencer expectations. Before becoming a postpartum doula, I spent 13 years working as a high-profile nanny, became a certified Montessori preschool teacher, and worked as an estate manager. I also had the opportunity to volunteer in a NICU alongside nurses when I was 18, an experience that sparked my love for newborn care and taught me so much about caring for tiny babies. My work centers around overnight postpartum support, helping families get some much-needed rest while caring for their baby. My goal is to make those early weeks feel a little easier and help you feel confident in your new role. I always say, “I’m here to give you the sleep you need to be the best version of yourself for your baby.” Outside of work, I live on a mini farm just outside of Nashville, with my husband, two children, two pigs, two dogs, and lots of chickens. I love spending time with my family, visiting amusement parks, doing a good puzzle, and crafting. If you are reading this, yes you, I'd love to get to know you and your family and be a special part of this journey together.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Chelsea. She cared for our daughter, London, for the first three months of her life, and I genuinely don’t know how we would have survived those early months without her. She became such an important part of our family during one of the biggest transitions of our lives. From the very beginning, Chelsea went above and beyond in every possible way. The care she gave London was incredible — she was loving, attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and completely dependable. There is an enormous amount of trust involved in handing your newborn over to someone, and with Chelsea, we never had to think twice. We knew London was safe, loved, and being cared for as if she were her own. What makes Chelsea truly special, though, is that she doesn’t just care for the baby — she cares for the entire family. She constantly checked in on both of us as new parents and genuinely cared about how we were doing physically and emotionally. She once told us how gratifying it was for her to watch us grow into our roles as mom and dad, and that perfectly captures who she is. She wasn’t simply there to do a job; she was invested in our family and in helping us become confident parents. Her support also extended far beyond the terms of her contract. As our time together was coming to an end and we realized we needed additional childcare, Chelsea went out of her way to help us figure out what came next. She helped us find additional care for London, posted on our behalf, helped us search for nannies, made connections, and continued looking out for our family even when there was absolutely nothing in it for her. That level of care and commitment is incredibly rare. Chelsea gave us peace of mind, sleep, reassurance, guidance, and so much support during a time when we desperately needed all of those things. Most importantly, she loved and cared for London so beautifully. If we ever needed her again, I would hire Chelsea in a second. I would trust her completely with London, and there is truly no higher compliment I could give someone. Any family lucky enough to have Chelsea caring for their baby — and for them — will be in exceptional hands. We will forever be grateful that she was part of London’s first few months and such an important part of the beginning of our journey as parents.

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! My name is Brenda. I am a Tennessee native, originally from Smithville. However, Livingston and Cookeville have now been my home for 17 years. I am the owner of Mom 2 Mom Doula Services. I am a wife to a wonderful husband, and a mother to 2 beautiful little girls. When I am not assisting women prenatally, in labor or in the initial postpartum period, I am spending time with my family, usually this includes hiking in the many wonderful state parks Tennessee has to offer. My interest in birth started to blossom at the age of 5, when my mother had her first home birth. In that atmosphere I felt at home with the Midwives and Doulas. That feeling only got stronger with my mother's next 2 home births. At age 21, I had my first daughter, unmedicated, in a hospital with an amazing Doula. Her willingness to want to help me however she could, more seriously pushed me towards my goal to become a Doula myself. So in 2018, I started working as a Doula, and then certified sometime later. At age 23, I had my second daughter, at home with the assistance of a home birth Midwife. It was a wonderful experience. Now, I am truly living out my dream, to be able to support women during such an important time in their life. I am so thankful every day for this wonderful career. I have supported women through hospital births of all kinds, home births, water births and everything in between. In 2023 I also got my StillBirthday certification.

Brenda is incredible. If you’re wondering whether or not to invest in a doula, here is your sign to do it! I learned so much from Brenda about my options for my first baby’s birth, things that may/may not happen during a hospital birth, and how to create a plan that was best for me and that fit with my hopes for labor/delivery. I was able to persevere through an unmedicated birth thanks to Brenda’s calming and strong presence and her knowledge about labor/birth. Even if you’re not sure you want to go unmedicated, it’s so valuable having someone like Brenda who knows birth inside and out and can help you make your birth dreams a reality, as well as advocate for you. I can’t recommend her enough!

My background has always centered on caring for people. I spent about ten years working in surgical environments where precision and compassion were critical, and later led global customer support teams in the biotech industry before working in pharmaceutical compliance. Across each role, my focus was the same: making sure people felt heard and supported. Motherhood deepened that perspective. I saw firsthand how demanding pregnancy and postpartum can be, and how often mothers are expected to carry everything without support. That realization inspired me to create BellyCare Co., a maternal support service focused on helping pregnant and postpartum mothers reset through practical assistance, such as light home support, meal preparation, and postpartum presence. At its heart, BellyCare Co is about recognizing that when mothers are supported, families are stronger.

I had a wonderful experience with BellyCare Co. Their non-medical pregnancy and post-baby support services are thoughtful, compassionate, and genuinely helpful for expecting and new moms. From the moment I reached out, the team was responsive and encouraging — it really felt like they care. BellyCare Co. doesn’t offer medical treatment, but the support they provide made a big difference during a busy and emotional time. I especially appreciated their attention to comfort and practical guidance, which helped me feel more confident and prepared. I highly recommend BellyCare Co. to anyone looking for a supportive, mom-focused experience!

Hi everyone! I'm Brittany Fatoma, a certified perinatal doula (prenatal, antepartum, and postpartum) and perinatal doula trainer. I'm a proud wife to a phenomenal husband and mama to a powerhouse little girl who's growing up fast. When I'm not busy supporting families, you can find me dancing to music, belting out karaoke tunes, or whipping up some of my favorite Southern dishes. Before becoming a doula, I taught early childhood and elementary education for eight years. I was also passionate about leading a nonprofit advocating equitable educational opportunities for Black and Brown children. Birth work allows me to beautifully combine my love for children with my desire to empower and support birthing individuals. As a doula, I'm particularly interested in supporting families through challenging and exceptional circumstances, such as first-time parenthood. I also prioritize helping clients stay healthy and active throughout pregnancy. I offer comprehensive childbirth education to equip parents with the necessary knowledge and confidence. My ultimate goal is to create a space where birthing individuals feel empowered to have the desired birthing experience.

Brittany is a blessing! When my OB had me stressed or confused during my pregnancy, Brittany was there to calm me and guide me through my emotions. She’s friendly, loving and has a great spirit overall, which is very much needed during and after a pregnancy. I have learned a lot from her and I am beyond grateful to have met her. I highly recommend her and their whole collective! They’ve got a great team going on!
