My situation was very different than most and I'm so glad that she decided to take me on as a client. At the time, I was traveling the county with my husband and 3 kids full time in an RV and knew that I'd be in the Nashville area when I'd be close to my due date. Maggie agreed to take me on at around 27 weeks when so many other midwifes backed out because of my different living situation. An RV birth wasn't easy, but Maggie was so wonderful and positive throughout the entire experience. I didn't end up getting my water birth as I had planned; as RV water heaters just don't cut it, but Maggie and Chelsea made me feel calm and very comfortable. They're a fantastic team!! I wish I could have used her for each of my pregnancies and any future pregnancies.

Jeannie Casey was absolutely amazing and so accommodating while handling my placenta encapsulation…read morethis summer. I had planned on having my placenta encapsulated, but hadn't worked out the details. At 36 weeks, I thought I had a bit more time. Unfortunately, my little one decided to come a bit early, and so I was caught off-guard! I called Jeannie, and she was ready and willing to take me on, even on such short notice. She had my capsules ready in a timely manner, and I can honestly say they've made a huge difference. I haven't had any issues with baby-blues, and my milk production has been off-the-charts - which I largely credit to regular capsule consumption. I would definitely recommend Jeannie and her company to any soon-to-be momma interested in placenta encapsulation.

I'm a first time mom and I used Nashville Childbirth to do my Placenta Encapsulation. With so many…read morecompanies that now do Placenta Encapsulation in Nashville I thought it was going to be a hard choice but after seeing the professionalism, integrity, and kindness of Jeannie Casey and her company it was not a hard choice!

Seriously such a huge help! Love love love!!!

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!

Not only is she a Doula, but she is also a natural childbirth instructor! We decided to take her 10 week Boot Camp on natural childbirth and are so glad we did! The course covers everything from nutrition, baby care, labor positions, pregnancy exercises, relaxation techniques, birthing options, and partner support. My husband and I learned so much and felt very confident and prepared for "Labor Day." Hiring Melissa to be our Doula was such a smart decision. On the morning that my daughter was born, Melissa came over to our house and helped me get in different positions to move and progress labor. She was there the entire time at the hospital, and encouraged me the whole way through. Melissa helped to make our birth experience everything we wanted it to be. Because of Melissa, we were able to have the natural birth that we had been dreaming of. I am so thankful!

I really wanted to have a normal delivery with no epidural.

My husband and I took her classes and followed her instructions in regards to exercise,diet, practicing visual and relaxation techniques. End result was I went to the hospital at midnight. I was at 10 cm at 3:00 A.M. and I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl at 3:22 A.M. Melissa gave me the confidence to stand up for what I wanted to do and be able to push in a squatting position which helped speed up the delivery. Thank you Melissa for all your help!!!

During the prenatal visits Deb and Piper eased my fears about delivery and post partum recovery without my husband. Piper came to my home while I was in labor, earlier than probably needed because I couldn't get a hold of my husband and just wasn't coping emotionally . Throughout my short and intense labor I was coached, comforted, and provided with all sorts of pain/discomfort relieving tricks (those hip squeezes are magic). At the hospital they ensured my husband was called in, kept up to date, and also recorded a video of the birth when he lost his connection at the last minute. These ladies truly made my birth an amazing experience which I never expected to feel without my husband. Thank you QCBC!!

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!!

We ended up choosing an elective c-section for a variety of reasons, including several medical risk factors that were more likely to result in a c-section if we had agreed to an induction, and Andrea was incredibly patient and helpful in talking with us as we considered our options in consultation with our midwife team. She never told us what to do (she was very respectful of our agency and our medical team's expertise), but she was there every step of the way to support us and help us reach our own decisions and to then build a birth plan that reflected our preferences. And she helped us to better understand and prepare for what to expect both during birth and afterward, so we were well informed when making decisions. I really appreciated having Andrea by my side in the OR; it was reassuring to have her right by my head, talking us through what was happening. In addition to that, the most valuable things Andrea did were: (1) stay with my husband in pre-op while I was getting prepped for surgery in the OR, so he was as calm as possible during that scary time, and (2) talk with and encourage us both before and after birth, as first-time parents -- boosting our confidence and pointing us to other helpful resources. We would highly recommend working with Andrea / ENDS! She made the process of welcoming our son really enjoyable and affirming.

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!

When my daughter arrived 11 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia, Jessica dropped everything on a Saturday to be there for my emergency C-section. Her presence during such a scary and unexpected moment meant more to me than I can express. Postpartum was especially challenging as a NICU mom. While Jessica was always responsive when I reached out with updates, I would have appreciated more proactive emotional support during our NICU journey, as that season was particularly heavy. Still, I'm grateful for her care and commitment, and I'm glad I chose her as my doula.
