Meet Jillian
BIRTH DOULA
Jillian (she/her) moved to Nashville from Memphis in 2019. She has had the honor of being present for many nieces and nephews’ births, which has fostered her passion for birth work. After getting pregnant during the height of the pandemic and feeling isolated from her village, she was so grateful for the assistance of a doula during labor.
After giving birth, she decided to pursue the passion of birthwork and support others through their labor, delivery and postpartum. She firmly believes that everyone deserves to feel empowered and respected and hopes to help all birthing people have the birth that they desire. She is trained as both a birth and postpartum doula and is working towards certification with DONA International.
In her free time, she can be found drinking coffee, reading a good book, watching reality TV or playing outside with her son Asher and three-legged Great Dane, Molly.

“The doulas we worked with were so caring, thoughtful, and helpful around the house, and even made me feel pampered in a not-so-glamorous time.”
“Andrea and her team were an incredible support to my family after our second baby was born. Andrea is excellent to work with, responds quickly, and has such an amazing network of doula's, so there will always be a good fit for your family. The doulas we worked with were so caring, thoughtful, and helpful around the house, and even made me feel pampered in a not-so-glamorous time. Highly recommend this team!”
