Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doula if I already have a midwife?

Yes. While your midwife handles clinical care, a doula provides emotional, mental, and spiritual support throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. We work together, not in place of each other.

How do I know if I’m ready to work with a doula?

If you know you want more support at your birth or during postpartum, then doula services may be a good fit!

When should I reach out to work with you?

ASAP! The sooner, the better. I work with mothers up to 28 weeks along, but starting early gives us time to build trust, prepare with intention, and walk this journey together without rushing the process.

What if my husband/partner is nervous or unsure?

That’s okay—and very common. Invite them to join the free consultation! I provide education and support for partners too, so they feel confident, informed, and connected throughout the journey. Birth is a family experience.

Do you support hospital births?

While out-of-hospital birth is my specialty, I support hospital births as needed. If you’re planning a hospital birth and feel aligned with my approach, we can explore whether it’s a good fit.

Do you offer payment plans or sliding scale options?

I believe birth support should be accessible. Reach out and let’s talk about what works for your family—we can often find a way.

Do you accept insurance or Medicaid?

Services are private pay at this time. Flexible payment plans are available.

Is faith a requirement to work with you?

Not at all. While my care is grounded in my belief in biblical values, I serve with compassion and respect for pregnant people. If you’re seeking thoughtful, natural, and spiritually sensitive care, you are welcome here.

What's your service area in Tennessee?

I offer in-person support within a 1-hour radius of Mount Juliet, Tennessee. If you're located outside this area and feel we’re a good fit, I’d still love to hear from you—additional mileage fees may apply.
