Hi, I’m Jerika — a full-spectrum doula, placenta specialist, student midwife, nanny, and childbirth & newborn educator. I walk alongside families in the tender seasons before and after birth, offering holistic, evidence-based, and deeply compassionate care. My approach is rooted in the belief that all birth types are valid and can be deeply empowering — whether spontaneous, induced, cesarean, medicated, or unmedicated. I’ve spent years learning from midwives, supporting newborns, and holding space for the raw, beautiful, messy, and magical moments of early parenthood. I’m here to help you feel safe, informed, and nurtured — not just during the big milestones, but in the quiet, in-between moments that matter just as much. When we work together, you can expect grounded support that blends ancient wisdom, modern evidence, and a touch of humor to keep things real. Your birth and postpartum story deserves to be met with respect, presence, and unwavering belief in your strength. Let’s create a space where you feel seen, supported, and deeply cared for — in body, mind, and spirit.

For as long as I can remember, I've been incredibly passionate about child care and supporting parents. I started out babysitting, which quickly evolved into a full-time career as a nanny. During my four years as a nanny, I discovered my love for working with infants and noticed a gap in support and guidance for new parents. During this time, I also started to struggle with a rare genetic condition that led me to learn all I could about women's health care, navigating the medical system, and self-advocacy. I recently decided to combine my two greatest passions and completed training to become a full-spectrum doula through Blissful Birthing TN. I am officially accepting new clients, and I am super excited to start my doula journey.

Hello!. My name is Destiny Macri. I live in Clarkrange TN and have lived there my whole life. I have an amazing husband and a wonderful little boy. The reason I have decided to become a doula is to help advocate for mothers. Also help you to have an amazing birth experience. What inspired my passion to become a birth doula is my own personal birth experience. I had my son in 2024. I had to be induced, but I was determined to have him naturally. With the help of my husband, numerous nurses, my midwife, and everyone else in the room screaming and cheering me on I did it!. I knew then that I wanted to be there to help support someone else in their journey weither it be with an epidural, naturally, or a c- section. I also am working into becoming a lacation specialist, so with my training and my own breastfeeding experience, I will be able to help mothers accomplish breastfeeding. I am looking forward to working with you all, amd helping you all achieve a memorable and most amazing birth possible.
