Birth & Postpartum Doula & Classes
Serving Knoxville, TN + Surrounding
Empowered birth isn’t about a type of birth — it’s about support.
Hi, I’m Jerika- a certified birth doula.
I help couples prepare, communicate, and step into birth + parenthood
as a united team.
Because it’s not just about having a baby—it’s about feeling seen, heard, and supported through one of the biggest transitions of your life.
It'd be an honor to support you
Hi there! I'm Jerika—a full-spectrum doula (birth + postpartum doula), birth + newborn educator, and student midwife offering evidence‑based, holistic support in Knoxville, Alcoa, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Farragut, and East TN (virtual also available).
With years of experience in home birth, hospital birth, and postpartum care, I support families through every phase—from the very first positive pregnancy test all the way through early parenting.
Whether you’re hoping for an unmedicated birth, navigating a planned c-section, recovering postpartum, or preparing for baby #2 (or 5!), my work centers YOU and meets you where you are!
No matter where you are in your journey, you deserve intentional, compassionate support.

Your Path to Empowered Birth & Grounded Postpartum
Are you feeling a mix of excitement and overwhelm?
Are you sorting through stacks of conflicting advice?
Wondering how to prepare for birth in a way that feels authentic to you, or trying to prepare for life with a newborn? Or perhaps you’re already in the thick of it — sleep-deprived, healing, and craving both reassurance and real help. I see you.
