Rachel Ramirez

I’m Rachel, a birth companion (doula) and postpartum caregiver supporting mothers preparing for natural, physiologic birth and a supported postpartum transition. I work with mothers who are doing their best to prepare, but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, medical pressure, and not knowing who or what to trust. Many don’t want to feel passive in their birth, but also don’t want to feel like they have to manage everything alone or fight to be heard. My role is to help you stay grounded, informed, and supported so you can move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with clarity instead of confusion. My background includes out of hospital birth, herbalism, holistic maternal care, and lived experience as a homebirth mother. My work is also grounded in faith in the Most High YHWH and a respect for birth as a natural process. Support includes: prenatal education and birth preparation help understanding options so decisions are not made under pressure nervous system support for labor and emotional steadiness postpartum care guidance so you are not left to navigate recovery alone I take on a limited number of clients each month to provide consistent support throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Amana is for mothers who want steady, grounded support, value discernment, and want to stay connected to their body and values throughout the process. Reach out to schedule a consultation if you feel aligned.

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. She also encouraged my husband to join our sessions, so we could both prepare for our journey together. I highly recommend soliciting their services for all expecting families, as Amana Birth Services goes above and beyond to meet your needs and help you/your loved ones feel empowered in the rich and exciting journey of birth!

When we found out we were expecting triplets we knew we would need a lot of support and advice to navigate that journey— we were so lucky to find Chella and have her by our side for the end of my pregnancy and bringing our triplets home. She’s a fierce advocate, a wonderful, funny presence, and a top-notch organizer! She would be an asset to any family but especially families facing an uphill climb during their immediate postpartum— those with medically complex babies or multiples. Her ability to be calm and methodical when facing a challenge is priceless.

My journey into birth work began from a deep passion for supporting women through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. Becoming a mother changed me in the best way possible, and having good support by my side made that experience even more meaningful. Through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I learned firsthand how important it is for mothers to feel supported, informed, and deeply cared for. That experience ignited a passion in me to walk alongside other women and families during such a sacred and life-changing time. I believe birth is powerful, deeply personal, and instinctual. My philosophy is centered around offering compassionate, evidence-based support while honoring each family’s unique wishes and choices. I believe God intentionally designed birth with love and purpose. While every birth journey is unique, I believe women’s bodies were beautifully created for this process. My goal is to support mothers in feeling informed, empowered, and confident in the incredible strength and intuition God has given them. I believe every mother deserves to feel empowered, heard, and supported without judgment — whether that looks like an unmedicated birth, epidural, cesarean birth, breastfeeding support, or simply having someone by your side who makes you feel safe and cared for. My personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, and motherhood have shaped the way I support families. Motherhood has stretched me, softened me, and strengthened me in ways I never expected. It has deepened my empathy and helped me understand both the beauty and challenges that come with welcoming a baby and navigating postpartum life. I also openly share part of my story that has deeply shaped who I am today. I have a T-12 spinal cord injury. While this injury is part of my journey, it does not limit me from doing this work. If anything, it has empowered me to pursue it even more wholeheartedly. I am fully capable of offering hands-on support and care to the families I serve. While I do have a few small limitations, they are very minor, and I am always happy to have open conversations about them. More than anything, my injury has strengthened my resilience, compassion, and perspective on life. I truly believe God has used every part of my journey, both the beautiful and the difficult. It has molded me into the woman I am today. Through challenges, He has grown my faith, deepened my empathy, and given me a greater understanding of perseverance, grace, and the importance of support during vulnerable seasons of life. Those experiences are something I carry with me into every birth and postpartum space I enter. After moving to Tennessee, I felt deeply called to serve families within my community. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and judgment-free space where parents feel confident, educated, and cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It is truly an honor to support families as they welcome their baibies and step into this new season of life.

Having Jazlin as my doula throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum was one of the biggest blessings during such a special season of our lives. From the very beginning, she made my husband and I feel incredibly supported, informed, and cared for every step of the way. She consistently checked in on me throughout my pregnancy, always making sure we felt prepared for what to expect before, during, and after labor and delivery. No question was ever too small — she was always just a phone call or text away, and her presence brought so much peace and reassurance during moments that could have otherwise felt overwhelming. She even took the time to do house visits with us to help prepare for labor and postpartum, which made such a difference in helping us feel confident and ready. You can truly tell she cares deeply about the families she serves and sees this work as more than just a job. One of the things I appreciated most was that she is a faith-based doula. As Christians, having someone who could not only support us physically and emotionally, but also spiritually, was incredibly important to us. She prayed with us, encouraged us, and created such a comforting and peaceful environment throughout the entire experience. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for a doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, intentional, supportive, and faith-centered, she is truly amazing. We are so grateful for her and will forever cherish the role she played in bringing our daughter into the world.

Responds within a few hours Accepts insurance

Jorie is a birth + postpartum doula and loves every moment of it. She’s certified through Birth Boot Camp and has also trained as a VBAC doula to support clients having a vaginal birth after cesarean. At the young age of 15, Jorie had the privilege of attending her first nephew's birth, an experience that ignited a deep-seated passion within her for supporting families during pregnancy and beyond. Once she experienced that birth, she continued to attend the rest of her nephews + nieces births and took to being the friend or sister who sat with loved ones in their postpartum days. 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. With her training and hands-on life experience, Jorie’s aim is to cultivate a safe and nurturing environment where her clients feel empowered to make decisions that resonate with their unique journey. Beyond her doula duties, you’ll often find Jorie working on her hobbies and crafts, throwing on her pottery wheel or hanging with her family. She believes in finding joy in life's simple pleasures and cherishing every moment of the journey. She is deeply honored to accompany her clients on their path to parenthood, offering unwavering support, guidance, and a sprinkle of joy & laughter along 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.

Emily has been an absolute blessing as our newborn’s night nurse and doula. Her tender, caring and reassuring nature gave us complete peace of mind during this special but exhausting time. Emily is incredibly accommodating, tailoring her care to meet both our baby’s and family’s needs, and her calming presence brought comfort to our entire household. We’ve already recommended her to other families, who’ve shared equally glowing feedback about their experiences with her. Emily truly goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her support!

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.
