About Us

Hello! My name is Brenda. I am a Birth & Bereavement Doula. I am a Tennessee native, originally from Smithville. However, Livingston and Cookeville have now been my home for 18 years.  I am a wife to a wonderful husband, and a mother to 2 beautiful little girls. When I am not assisting women prenatally, in labor or in the initial postpartum period, I am spending time with my family, usually this includes hiking in the many wonderful state parks Tennessee has to offer.
My interest in birth started to blossom at the age of 5, when my mother had her first home birth. In that atmosphere I felt at home with the Midwives and Doulas. That feeling only got stronger with my mother's next 2 home births. At age 21, I had my first daughter, unmedicated, in a hospital with an amazing Doula. Her willingness to want to help me however she could, more seriously pushed me towards my goal to become a Doula myself. So in 2018, I started working as a Doula, and then certified sometime later. At age 23, I had my second daughter, at home with the assistance of a home birth Midwife. It was a wonderful experience. And in 2023, I met another goal of becoming a Certified Bereavement Doula through Stillbirthday Now, I am truly living out my dream, to be able to support women during such an important time in their life. I am so thankful every day for this wonderful career. I have supported women through hospital births of all kinds, home births, water births and everything in between. 

My name is Danielle and I’m a birth doula. I am a wife to a wonderful husband and and mother to 3 beautiful boys. When I’m not doing my doula work I am spending time with my family and trying to keep up with 3 little boys! 

My certification comes from Blissful Birthing . I am trained in birth room conflict, baby loss, and how to use rebozos during pregnancy and childbirth. I also have training in childbirth and breastfeeding. Throughout all of my pregnancy’s I’ve always wanted to advocate for myself on what I did and didn’t want and also how I wanted my birth to go. I’ve always wanted an unmedicated natural birth. However, my first two births (2017 and 2019) I wound up getting the epidural at 7cm and 8cm. I didn’t succeed at an all natural unmedicated birth until my most recent baby (2023). It was my shortest, hardest, most intense birth. But it was my happiest and most empowered birth as I did it all natural like I always wanted. It was in that moment that I knew my calling was to be a doula and likewise empower women to advocate for themselves and know that they can achieve the birth that they have always wanted. I want to strengthen women and educate them on childbirth. We can do hard things and I’ve got your back when you need me! Let’s doula this! 

Hi, I'm Laura Swift and a full-time postpartum Doula. I describe myself as a tall and soft Grammie with messy bed hair, wearing jeans, keens, and white shirts.

I have always loved every part of motherhood and the reason I studied nursing was to help take the fear out of childbirth for families. Labor and delivery was my first love and after twenty-five years, I discovered birth photography.

In 2020, I became a Doula so I could still support my birth clients AND bring my camera along. To my surprise, I fell in love with Doula work and especially postpartum support. I wanted each new family to have the best start possible.

My favorite part of postpartum doula work is watching the mom become a mother. It's like watching a flower open. She gets more beautiful with time. New moms are like that flower, growing in confidence and love for their child. I also love hearing about their birth experience.

I offer in-person and virtual postpartum doula support in Middle Tennessee and my clients call me "Grammie Doula". With 25 years as a labor and delivery nurse and then 10 years as a birth photographer, doula work has my heart.

I am a mom to 3 grown children, 6 grandchildren and a baby in heaven. I live in a one story house with an awesome front porch and my gray-bearded husband and four pets that prefer his company over mine.

Hi there! My name is Emily, and I am a Christian wife and mother of two amazing boys named Gideon and Simon. I have been involved in the birth world for the past eight years, although my involvement has been intermittent. In 2016, I trained as a doula and attended a few births, but unfortunately, with my job and then my first baby on the way, I had to put my doula work on hold. In 2022, I completed my Associates in Therapeutic Massage, with a specific focus on Women's Health. Since then, I have become a certified prenatal and postpartum therapist. I am thrilled to be able to bring together my two passions to support women throughout their motherhood journey. As a doula and massage therapist, I am committed to accompanying my clients through every step of their journey - from trying to conceive to postpartum. My goal is to provide support and care to each of my clients, making every stage of motherhood more enjoyable. I believe that every woman deserves care and respect during this sacred time, and a supported and care-filled pregnancy should not be a luxury. Motherhood is an exciting, fulfilling, and challenging experience for every woman, and I consider it an honor to witness and be a part of this journey.

I am a wife and mother of three beautiful daughters (one in heaven). I have a ​background in mental health, spanning over ten years. My journey into birth ​work began when I was pregnant with my first daughter. My pregnancy, birth, ​labor and postpartum had many challenges. I knew that birth was meant to be ​something different, something empowering not defeating. So I began my own ​journey for better ways to help myself in pregnancy and birth, desiring to help ​other mothers feel confident, supported, and valued during their pregnancy and ​birth too.

As a doula I provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support ​to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth. My goal, at Wild ​Blessings Doula, is to help mothers achieve a healthy, satisfying, empowering ​birth through education and support. I provide personalized care, unique to ​each mother’s need. I can be the reassuring presence in the overwhelming ​moments of pregnancy and childbirth, empowering you during one of the most ​blessed and sacred times in your life. I am excited to join you in this new ​journey
