Find a Doula in Knoxville, Tennessee for Faith-Based Birth Support

 

​Hello, I'm Denise, a dedicated and experienced doula with a passion for supporting families through the sacred journey of childbirth. I serve the greater Knoxville, Tennessee, area as both a hospital doula and home birth doula. As a Knoxville birth doula, I have a strong Christian faith guiding my practice, and I believe in serving all families with love and respect while helping those who find a doula feel supported and heard. I love supporting families with needs such as VBACs, high-risk pregnancies such as twins, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, IUGR, pre-eclampsia, as well as natural, uncomplicated pregnancies.

​

I am highly experienced as a:

Natural birth doula

VBAC doula

High-Risk Pregnancy doula

Home birth doula

Hospital doula

Twin birth doula

​

I try to meet families where they are and spend a lot of time listening and answering questions.  I enjoy making the birthing experience as natural as possible.

​​

My experience at Providence St. Vincent's Hospital in Portland, Oregon, has equipped me with extensive knowledge in hospital-based births, particularly in supporting families through complicated pregnancies. This background enables me to provide calm and confident support, ensuring you feel empowered and cared for during this transformative time. I am currently a charter member of the University of Tennessee Doula Collaboration, established in 2023. This collaborative team participates in advanced trainings and works closely with the hospital staff and providers to support clients’ needs while promoting the TeamBirth model of care.

​

My early years in the birth world were rooted in extensive experience with home births. These experiences deeply shaped my understanding of physiological birth and equipped me with essential tools to effectively support women who desire a natural childbirth.
