We are so very blessed Erica was a major part of our birth story. She was an amazing advocate who…read morewas supportive, loving, and genuinely excited to meet our baby with us, even after 20+ hours of labor and a transfer from the birth center to the hospital. She visited us after we brought our baby home and gave us a personalized gift bag, which was so unexpected and sweet. With our permission, she took sharable and discreet pictures during our birth experience and one of our favorites is right after he was born of us all together. She also sent the timeline she documented of when things were happening during the birth and at what time - something very special I had not even thought of! Even before we met Erica, the owner, Vicki, helped us personally with some paperwork we needed for our insurance company and I knew from the beginning this team would go out of their way to help new moms. Also, after baby arrived, Sarah met with me in my home to teach me how to do a super helpful postpartum wrap, which I also recommend. We can't thank Erica, Vicki, Sarah, and Nashville Doula enough. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for one on one support in your birth and labor class, look no further! Amanda…read morewas amazing. She knows her stuff!! The full 8 hour Saturday class felt too long and we didn't think we would absorb everything as well in one long session. The one on one sessions were broken into two 2 hour sessions and she came to our home for only $50 more than the group Saturday all day class. She gave us a very detailed booklet that answers almost any question you may have and gave a very thorough presentation on labor/birth/newborn care/post partum care. If you're pregnant, your social media is probably flooded with different advice etc. and overwhelming you. She cleared up a lot of questions for me and made me feel a whole lot better. I'm so thankful for Amanda!

Where do I even start! I had a really rough first trimester and the first bit of relief I felt from…read morethe sickness and anxiety was my phone call with Andrea at East Nashville Doulas. I had no idea what I was doing and could barely sort my feelings, and Andrea walked me through the rest of my pregnancy and birth with unwavering support and knowledge. She went through every potential type of birth process I may experience and was supportive of whatever my birthing desires were- which ended up being an elective c-section. Having her for the pregnancy and c-section were invaluable and I wish every pregnant person could have a doula with them, no matter the type of birth they experience or desire. I will be forever grateful for her and END every time I think about my pregnancy and birth.

Heidi is the best of the best!…read more In our meetings prior to labor and delivery, she was easy to talk to and very supportive of my decisions and natural birthing goals. Heidi allowed me to share with her some of the trauma that I had from my first birth and prepared me for what to expect the second time with a Doula and being able to make informed decisions. The resources she shared with me (evidenced based articles, list of what to pack, how to cope with pain, Bible verses, etc.) all helped to prepare me mentally, physically and even spiritually for my upcoming "marathon". And once that "marathon" arrived, she was on point with everything, including her wisdom of when I should leave for the hospital. Thank goodness for that because my labor progressed very quickly! Once at the hospital, Heidi really orchestrated and worked in unison with my Midwife and my other support people. She kindly instructed my Mother and Husband how they could help and even could tell my water was about to break and warned the staff so I didn't make a complete mess of the room (It was in fact Christmas Eve, so one less thing to clean up was an added plus.) Heidi coached me through every step of the way and said just the right thing to motivate and comfort me to keep going. My husband held my hand and was by my side, while Heidi helped with technique to ease pain and her words were exactly what I needed to hear to stay strong. In short, Heidi was an answer to prayer. I highly recommend her to anyone expecting, no matter if it's un-medicated, medicated or a planned C-section. Heidi has great integrity, passion and heart in all she does and I am so thankful we made the choice to have her as our Doula. It made every bit of difference!

She was by my side the whole time speaking positive affirmations and when I struggled to cope with pain she suggested different positions or techniques. She provided me with evidence based information to help me make the most informed decisions during my pregnancy and labor. Ultimately she supported my decisions and let me control my labor setting. I successfully had a 9lb baby 100% natural with no tearing and I could not have done that without Heidi!!

As we contemplate our second child, both of us agreed that of all the things we did to prepare for our first child, this class was the one thing we would definitely repeat for our second! Even as a refresher, and for the experience of thinking through our birth plan and postpartum support system.

Not only was her French accent soothing and comforting, she was warm and treated me like a sister. During birth she helped navigate the hospitals standards and advocated on my behalf during labor so I could have the birth I wanted. My husband really loved having a resource to lean on during labor and she gave us space when we needed. She was so kind to provide notes about the birth in the case I wanted to write my son's birth story, and offered a lot of help postpartum when I had trouble breastfeeding. Mama Moon is the best!

Before my due date, I would periodically meet with her, and she was always able to share helpful pregnancy advice. She also gave us a crash course in what to expect for L&D. She also gives great prenatal massages! Once I went into labor, I was in constant contact with her that day up until we were ready for her to come and meet us at the hospital. I ended up having a complicated and scary delivery. Everything worked out luckily in the end. Amandine was there every step of the way to lend a hand and comfort us during the process. She also is great at helping you relax and breathe and a great coach during the pushing stage. Having a doula as an extra partner in the process really helped my husband focus on me and the process too, as having her there took a lot of stress off him. For postpartum services, she was available once we were all at home to help both during the daytime and at night. This is super helpful when you are trying to recover and just need that extra nap and extra set of hands to help with laundry, dishes, small errands, etc. She also is so gentle and experienced with babies. I highly recommend Amandine if you are looking for a birthing and/or postpartum doula!

If you are looking for a supportive individual to help you/your family consider all of the pieces of childbirth and plan for expected and unexpected then stand by your side every step of the way- then the doula relationship with Music City Doulas would be a great fit. I already know I would try to work with Ashley again for our next baby and I will be singing her praises all over Nashville in the meantime!

It's sad to say that I would not recommend Sugar Maple Doula. I was so excited to work with Nicole…read more We had a great chat via phone and I loved her option to take photos. The first issue I noticed was I had to kindly bug her to send me an updated contract. The contract she sent had blanks where the compensation request should go and I asked her twice to send me a contract with the money and deposit amounts listed on the contract. At first, she suggested I put them in myself. As a business owner myself, I had to ask that she treat me as a client and resend the contract with appropriate amounts. She apologized saying she's a little more relaxed and sent me an updated contract right after that. Then at 28 weeks pregnant, (3 months till delivery) I got an email from her, telling me she was going back to school and if I had my baby on a weekend she would be able to attend but otherwise, she would need to cancel and recommend someone else. It was strange since she told me this shocking news in an email thread that was on another subject, instead of labeling the email something that would catch my eye. To further matters. I had told her I would be incredibly busy during that time and delivering the baby with no other family members present besides my husband. Her email and late cancellation left me sad, a bit frustrated and in a whirlwind to find another Doula so late in the game.

We originally planned to have an unmedicated birth, but I ended up getting an epidural (and I'm glad I did, because I had to be on antibiotics throughout my labor).

She made me feel like such a champion while I was pushing! We had a great experience and love Nicole!
