Birth &Postpartum support designed for You.
If you're looking for support and care centered around you, your little one, and your family, our birth & postpartum doula services in Nashville and Middle Tennessee were created just for you.
Birth Doula Care
Few periods in life are as intense as the transition into motherhood. Your baby is your first thought - they need to be comforted, soothed, and acclimated to the world around them. It can be easy to forget that you, too, need time and space to acclimate to your new body, world, and life.
The physical and emotional care needed during this time can also be complicated by more mundane needs. Your laundry needs to be done, the family needs to eat, and showers eventually become necessary. None of these are as important as caring for yourself and your baby, but it can be easy to feel pressured to get back into the swing of daily life.
Postpartum Doulas can help!
Postpartum doulas take a holistic approach. Meaning, we provide whatever help you crave in the moment. Labor, delivery, and postpartum are full of the unpredictable, so we surround you with a supportive network to take care of everything - from your emotional wellbeing to your laundry pile.

We provide in-home postpartum doula support to families in the Nashville area for the first 12 weeks after your baby is born.

"Without a doubt, I would recommend Nakishia and Alluring Births, for postpartum doula services."
"I met Nakishia through a birthing center, but I cannot rave enough about her! Her caring energy, the sense of comfort, and care she brought, whenever she visited my family is exactly what I needed after my third son.
Our family experienced a major, unexpected loss just one week into having my son, so we had to travel. Nakishia’s prayers and comforting words carried me through a tough period. Once I returned, she hit the ground running with support, from tending to our baby boy so that I could sleep uninterrupted, light housework, a listening ear and ensuring I was well physically and emotionally.
Her having medical experience was the icing on the cake. She checked my blood pressure, swelling and answered all my questions about postpartum bleeding specifically when I passed a large clot. I was looking for postpartum support, what I received was family. She is truly meant to do this birth work, it comes naturally. Without a doubt, I would recommend Nakishia and Alluring Births, for postpartum doula services."
