Hi, I'm Jerika, a certified doula since 2020, with 2.5 years of experience as a student midwife.
Why Families Choose
Placenta Encapsulation
Many parents report benefits such as:
-
Supporting postpartum energy levels
-
Mood and emotional balance
-
Supporting milk supply
-
Gentle nourishment during recovery
-
Helping ease the postpartum transition
Every experience is unique, but many families feel it makes the early weeks feel more manageable.
Meet Jerika | Knoxville & Maryville
Birth & Postpartum Doula
I am a full-spectrum (birth + postpartum) doula, placenta encapsulator, and childbirth + newborn educator serving families across Knoxville, Maryville, and surrounding East Tennessee communities.
​
I began this work in 2020 and spent over two years training alongside homebirth midwives, where I saw firsthand how much preparation, support, and continuity of care can shape a family’s experience.
​
And I also saw the opposite — families left feeling overwhelmed, unsupported, or wishing they’d known their options sooner.
​
That’s why my work focuses on education, preparation, and steady support before families reach the point of overwhelm.
​
My role isn’t to replace your partner or medical team.
It’s to help you feel informed, confident, and grounded — no matter how your birth unfolds — and to help your whole family feel supported as you transition into parenthood.
​
Because birth isn’t just a medical event.
It’s the beginning of a new chapter for your family.
