My love and passion for birth work came after my own 4 very individual birth experiences, along with attending the births of friends and family members babies. I began to recognize that there was something truly amazing that occurred when women were given the support and education to be empowered as birthing mothers! Recognizing that when these mothers were given the tools they needed to make educated choices, that were right for them, they were also given the power to shape their birth stories in a way that was their own. I have a special place in my heart for first time moms navigating their options and helping new families get started on their journey to parenthood!

Emily is incredible! She was my doula for my second pregnancy. She was there for me 24/7 to ease my anxiety, provide non bias information, and support me and my husband through labor. She comforted me and showed my husband how to comfort me through labor which was very important to us. Any family would be lucky to have her as their Doula!

Hi! I’m Greta, a doula offering prenatal and postpartum support to families in Middle Tennessee and virtually through my practice, Cradle & Kin. I’m also a wife to Brandon and mama to our daughter Charlotte, and I’ve always held a deep respect for the weight and beauty of motherhood. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season are meaningful, vulnerable transitions, and I believe they deserve thoughtful, compassionate support. After experiencing firsthand how impactful it is to be well supported during this time, I felt called to offer that same care to other families. I view this work as a calling and a way to serve families with Christ-centered care, compassion, and support. I strive to serve families with during pregnancy and postpartum with education, emotional support, and practical care. However you’re entering this chapter, whether with joy, questions, overwhelm, or all of the above, I would be honored to walk alongside you and be a small part of the village supporting your growing family :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Greta. She was truly incredible—so intuitive and nurturing in every moment. She seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even said it, whether it was help processing my birth experience, a listening ear, or a few quiet minutes just to rest. She jumped right in with meal prep, laundry, and all the little tasks that feel so overwhelming in this season. She cared for my older child with such gentleness and joy, giving me the rare gift of being able to lie down and fully soak in those newborn snuggles without worry. Her presence brought so much peace, support, and ease into our home. I’m endlessly grateful for the way she cared for our whole family and can not wait to have her again for all our future babies! Highly, highly recommend.

I love helping families during this sacred transition, and my work with children and families has shown how vital emotional health is for the mother, baby, and family. That means that everyone is getting the time they need. Siblings need one-on-one time with parent(s), baby need basic needs met round the clock, mom needs to rest and recover, and parents need time to connect with each other. I try to be a calm, peaceful, and non-intrusive presence to help relieve the tension by providing time for the family during this delicate period of transition. I look forward to seeing how I can help your family during postpartum transition.

Ghene’t is such a warm, calm, positive presence in our home. She watches my (now) 1 & 2 year old children and they love her. She is quick to get on the floor and use imaginative and educational play to engage them while also providing a nurturing and calm environment for them. She is reliable, communicative, and observant of the children’s needs and concerns. I have leaned on Ghene’t to help us through bedtime routines, developmental changes such as transitioning from a bottle to solids, and we will soon be tackling potty training. All in all, I can’t say enough good things about Ghene’t, we just love her!

Becoming a doula is a privilege because it allows me to witness the incredible strength and resilience of birthing individuals and families as they meet their new baby. My role is not to dictate the "right" way to give birth, but to be a constant, nonjudgmental source of support and information, ensuring that each family's unique choices are respected and honored. My philosophy is centered on the belief that a positive birth experience is rooted in feeling safe, informed, and empowered. I believe that birth is a powerful, transformational journey, and I am honored to help my clients access their inner strength, advocate for their preferences, and create a birth story that they can look back on with confidence, no matter how it unfolds.

Ma’Rya was awesome help during and after the birth of my son. She was very patient and willing to advocate for me when I was afraid to speak up. She help me start my breastfeeding journey and I’m almost 2 years in. She is very professional. I would use her again if I decide to have another baby.

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!

Absolutely the best birthing experience of my life. Jessica is an amazing doula. She took my every wish and educated me, prepared me, and walked me through it all! She truly cares for you, your baby, and family. Not only did I get an amazing doula who was thoughtful, thorough, and flexible but I got an amazing friend. Her skill set is something that I treasure. You know a doula is good when she can estimate how far along you are by listening to you through contractions over the phone. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again when I have another!

Hi, I’m Gloria, a certified birth and postpartum doula and the founder of Little Gems Doula Services. My journey began in 2019 after a traumatic birth experience that left me feeling broken and confused. When I found out I was expecting our second child in 2022, I was excited but also terrified of repeating my first experience. Seeking support, I researched my options and decided I needed a doula. My doula not only helped me process my first birth but also guided me in healing and preparing me and my partner for our second birth experience. Thanks to her support, I entered my second birth feeling empowered, educated, and safer than I ever anticipated. My second birth story was powerful, healing, and redemptive. Having personally experienced the transformative power of doula support, I realized that this was my true passion and calling. I pursued certification and attended my first birth later that same year. As a dedicated doula, my mission is to offer compassionate, non-judgmental, and personalized support to families throughout their childbirth journey. I strive to empower moms by providing physical, emotional, and informational assistance, creating a safe, nurturing environment where their voices are heard and respected. Through education, advocacy, and continuous encouragement, I aim to help families experience a positive, informed, and transformative birth experience that honors their unique needs and choices every step of the way.

I cannot recommend Gloria enough. From the very beginning, she was empowering, informative, and such a calming presence throughout my pregnancy and birth experience. She provided me with the knowledge and resources I needed to feel confident in my choices and always made sure I understood every option available. During labor, she advocated for me beautifully, ensuring my voice was heard and respected. Her support—both emotional and physical—made an incredible difference and helped me feel strong and capable throughout the entire process. I am so grateful to have had her by my side and truly believe my birth experience was more positive and empowering because of her. I feel as though our hearts are forever linked!

Olivia made my birth feel doable. From the start, she was so encouraging and helped me walk into birth with my fear under control. I am so thankful for the support she showed my husband and I throughout the pregnancy and birth. She made the whole experience peaceful and she helped me to feel strong and in control.

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I'm a postpartum doula in Chattanooga, TN. I'm excited to light the way as you transition from pregnancy into this season with a sweet new baby. As a mom of 3, I know firsthand that the postpartum period isn't always a smooth ride. It can be difficult to figure out how to sleep while also meeting your baby's needs, who will cook the meals and wash the dishes, when you will deal with those piles of laundry, and what to do with older siblings as they navigate this emotional time, often needing more attention than normal. A doula since 2023, I have a heart for serving the whole family in their birth and postpartum season. I attended around 20 births the past couple of years and have served a handful of families with newborns. I now focus exclusively on providing exceptional postpartum care in the Chattanooga area. If you are looking for a postpartum doula who tailors support to your specific needs, works with your schedule, and who becomes a trusted friend to her clients even after our time together is over, I would love to chat with you.

So thankful we booked her as our postpartum doula. She was able to help with meal prep which was a great help. She was also very flexible when we had family coming in and out of town and worked with our schedules. Highly recommend.

Hi, I’m Becca — a postpartum doula who believes every family deserves to feel cared for, supported, and seen during the fourth trimester and beyond. I’ve spent over 20 years working with families, including ten as a nanny and several more as a caretaker, and those experiences have given me a deep understanding of what it means to show up with compassion and calm in life’s tender moments. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest with an appreciation for natural beauty, 90s country music, and the comfort that comes from a good home-cooked meal. I bring humor, heart, and an almost alarming knowledge of song lyrics to my work — because sometimes what a new parent needs most is a helping hand, a warm meal, and someone who can make them laugh when the day feels long. My goal is simple: to help you rest, recover, and find your rhythm in this new season of life — one step (and one smile) at a time

Becca was fantastic in each phase during my successful vaginal delivery after 2 C sections! First in early labor, by preparing us to go to the hospital and getting our house and family packed up with essentials that we didnt know we'd need. She helped put together a birth plan and explained the different scenarios and set contingency plans. Then during active labor, she was constantly helping me get into different and/or better positions to keep my labor progressing. She was there every step of the way, the entire night. She was very attentive and kept strong communication with my husband and I while advocating our wishes to the hospital staff. There were several occasions where she even surprised my husband with her initiative and knowledge on what I needed in the moment. When it came time to push she was such a comfort at my side and was ready with affirmations and encouragement when I felt feelings of self-doubt. After one hour and 20 minutes of pushing, our miracle rainbow baby was born 🩷🌈 In postpartum at the hospital and at home, she stayed ontop of things with meals and taking care of us in general. The food was tasty and she kept the house in order while I rested and recovered. Becca also managed to capture my labor and delivery with photos that I'll cherish forever. The were taken in a very non distracting and non revealing way but still captured the beauty of these moments. We cant say enough about how thankful we are for her help and her services. Having her there made a world of a difference!
