Find a Newborn Care Specialist Near Me in Tennessee

Hi, I’m Kennedy Key — a postpartum doula with a passion for walking alongside families as they adjust to life with their new baby. I currently work in the OB/GYN department at Vanderbilt, where I get to support women and families through some of their most meaningful moments. I’m also in nursing school, working toward my Master of Science in Nursing, which allows me to combine my education with hands-on experience to provide evidence-based, compassionate care. My goal is to make sure every parent I work with feels supported, informed, and confident during the postpartum period — because you deserve to be cared for just as much as your little one.

I am a postpartum doula with a background in newborn and postpartum nursing. I am a practicing IBCLC with experience assisting new families and their babies in a hospital setting. It is my hope that The Well will represent a place where families find their hearts, souls, and bodies nourished, and where they feel loved, seen, and accepted for exactly who they are.

Hi! My name is Monica Milton, and I am an RN with over 28 years of experience in maternal child health. I have been an IBCLC for over 20 years, and lactation support and education are my passion. I love partnering with moms and families to not only educate but help create a plan that works individually to support your breastfeeding journey. Half the battle of success in having a newborn is knowing you have support. I have two adult children and two step sons in college. My husband and love spending time together outdoors walking, biking, and exploring our big beautiful world. I would love to partner with you in your parenting journey!

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Joey, for 18 years. We have been blessed with 3 girls and 1 boy during that time. We also experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage, and the joy that our rainbow baby brought to our whole family. I have loved all things relating to birth and babies for as long as I can remember. I drew a picture when i was very little, showing me being a “baby nurse.” Having had 3 hospital induction births and 1 spontaneous natural hospital birth as well as being high risk for the majority of my pregnancies, I understand the medical side of pregnancy and birth. I also loved each of my births, for all of their similarities and differences. I never had a professional doula. For my first birth I was blessed to have my mom and an amazing nurse help me. They rubbed my back, had me change positions, breathed with me, and helped me achieve the vaginal birth I wanted. I did not have this for my other births, and I wish I had had someone there to help me focus, it would have made it easier and more relaxing. I was able to successfully breastfeed all four of my kids. I breastfed anywhere from 18 months to 3 years old, depending on the kid and their needs. I have dealt with almost all of the typical breastfeeding hurdles, including a baby that had multiple food intolerances that changed my diet drastically. I have learned from each of these circumstances and hope that I can pass along my wisdom and encouragement to other moms. As a doula I have experience with both natural birth, induction birth and c-section moms. I also have worked with NICU families and pumping moms. I also have personal experience with cloth diapering, baby wearing and co-sleeping. Over the years as I have read and researched, I believe that as women we need to be more in awe of how our bodies work and are capable of birth. Because of this, I decided to also become a childbirth instructor. I want more moms to be able to advocate for themselves and understand their bodies and the birthing process. I believe every mom, no matter the situation, can have an amazing birth.

Hello, As both a mother and an experienced OB nurse I value the sacred nature of welcoming a new baby into the world. I feel as though this experience can be both rewarding and overwhelming, both exciting and terrifying, both invigorating and exhausting. However, I believe there is nothing more uplifting than embracing fellow parents during this special time. Whether it’s for the first time or the ninth, welcoming a new baby is unique and filled with physical and emotional challenges as our minds and bodies are stretched to limits beyond our imagination. I understand the demands that a family faces in the hospital as well as the transitions that take place when introducing a new addition at home. I feel that as a medical provider I am able to offer safe and supportive care in the hospital setting, but that many families need support that extends beyond the typical 2-3 days at the hospital. My goal is to offer support, encouragement, education, and ultimately to empower my families to feel confident and positive as they embark on their individual parenting journeys. I want them to have confidence and peace of mind moving forward from their postpartum experience. I value diversity and believe each family should have a support system centered around their family values and goals.
