I have confirmation that I have passed my Bebo Mia postpartum coursework, and am now a Maternal Support Practitioner. I am feeling very optimistic and can now confidently brand myself with my credentials.

I am starting from scratch on my socials after doing a little rebrand and changing the support I offer. Where is everyone getting leads from? Any suggestions? I am a part of a few Facebook groups, but haven't had much response on there. I went and dropped off some business cards to a local midwife clinic and while I was there she said that Knoxville doesn't have a whole lot of postpartum doulas that she knows of. I would love to do some more things to get my name out there before the Bumps and Beyond expo I am a vendor at late July.

My name is Ansley, and I have been a full-spectrum doula since 2018. I recently took a few months off to reset and refocus, and I'm excited to be stepping back into this work that I truly love. One of my biggest passions is education and breastfeeding support. I love helping mothers feel prepared and confident for birth by providing information, guidance, and support so they can understand their options and make informed decisions throughout their journey. While we can't control every aspect of birth, I believe preparation and education can make a tremendous difference in how a family experiences it. I genuinely enjoy connecting with moms, listening to their stories, supporting them through challenges, and celebrating the incredible experience of bringing new life into the world. There is nothing more rewarding to me than helping families feel empowered during such a special time. I'm excited to be part of this sisterhood, learn from other doulas, and see the different ways everyone runs their programs and supports their communities. I look forward to connecting with all of you and growing together.

Hey everyone! I'm Alisa and I own and operate That Knox Doula. I am located in Knoxville and serve moms in the East TN area. I mainly focus on postpartum care and working with first time parents. I have over 6 years of nanny experience working mostly with first time parents and being reliable support as they navigate becoming parents. I have been a doula for the last two years, but only as a very small side gig. I work full time in finance and my goal in the next three months is to start booking consistent clients so I can quit my full time job and be all in with my business!
