Hello! My name is Amanda Millsap. I’m a midwive’s assistant turned doula. I think my experience is a little bit unique in the fact that I attended around 60 home births before I ever helped parents out in a hospital setting. I have since become quite familiar with the hospitals in Chattanooga and Dalton, and have worked with many providers in these areas. I have a compiled list of other providers also. For example, chiropractors, pelvic floor therapist, massage therapist and more. It is my goal to provide you with education surrounding parenthood, help you and your family navigate through unfamiliar territory, and hopefully help you feel confident in your decisions. I look forward to becoming a member of your team!

Hi! I am a doula serving Cherokee county Ga. and surrounding areas. I also do private childbirth education! My course can be done in person or virtually.

Hey there! Let me give you a glimpse into who I am and how "The Savvy Doula" came to be. Growing up in a household that valued holistic health, I learned early on about the importance of taking care of our bodies and staying active. But life has its twists and turns, and during my early adulthood, I faced some gut and stomach issues. It was a real eye-opener for me, you know? Made me realize the importance of not just treating symptoms, but digging deep to find the root cause. It also made me realize how difficult it is sometimes to find a nurse or a doctor that will listen to you and how important it is to advocate for your health. ​ Now, let's fast forward a bit. I've always had this thing for helping people and sharing knowledge to empower them, but I didn't feel satisfied in my corporate 9-5 job. When I took a class to educate myself on childbirth, I found my true calling in the world of doulas! Imagine my excitement when I discovered this whole new universe revolving around birth and babies. It hit me hard that families need more support during such a significant journey, especially when the medical system sometimes falls short. ​ Have you ever heard of the Greek word "Doula"? It means "a woman who serves," and man, does that resonate with me! As I delved deeper into doula work and connected with fellow women sharing their stories, my passion for serving families only grew stronger. I realized the power in empowering families to take charge of their birthing experiences and health choices. ​ Now, let's talk about my other passion – photography. There's something magical about capturing those perfect moments during birth that families will treasure forever. I believe in freezing those precious memories, so they're not just fleeting moments but lasting legacies. Combining doula support and photography is a magical mix that not only offers support to families in the moment, but also gives them something unique and special that they can look back on forever. ​ And then there are my childbirth classes. Oh, how I love educating and guiding others through this transformative journey! Helping families discover their voices and stand firm in their beliefs during the birthing process is what I live for. When I support a family, it's not just about being there during labor; it's about instilling confidence, empowerment, and a sense of control in their parenthood journey. ​ Oh, and when I'm not busy being a doula or hosting classes, you'll find me hanging out with my cat, Grayson. We're quite the adventurous duo, whether we're kayaking, hitting the beach, or hiking. ​ If you're looking for someone dedicated to making your birthing experience as empowering and memorable as possible, you've come to the right place. With me by your side, you can trust that your birth plan and needs will be fully supported, no matter where your journey takes you!

Hello there! My name is Jess Harrell and I am an RN, IBCLC in the northwest Georgia region. As an IBCLC I am experienced with both in-person, virtual, and telephone lactation consultations. A little about myself! My journey in healthcare started in the ER as a patient care tech, and I became an RN in 2010. Shortly after obtaining my RN I stepped into the world of Women's Health. I have practiced in multiple arenas of Women's Health such as: mother/baby, newborn admission and nursery, labor and delivery, OB-GYN office, and lactation consultation. My journey with breastfeeding was brought on when I faced my own personal struggles with breastfeeding my first baby. I struggled with postpartum depression during that time and I did not feel that I had enough support from personal relationships nor from clinical providers. Because of this experience I became very passionate about providing support to other breastfeeding families. I never another struggling family to feel that they do not have the support and resources to reach their breastfeeding goals! I am married and we have 2 children and 3 pups! I enjoy nature, crochet, and reading. I love working with breastfeeding families and being a source of support and camaraderie with my families. I look forward to working with you!

I truly see doula work as a calling and ministry. I am passionate about empowering and supporting women, and I would love to walk alongside you in your pregnancy and birth!

I am committed to helping you become a birth warrior and be equipped for your birth and postpartum journey, so you can stop feeling stuck in the fear of the unknown and avoid suffering during birth and postpartum.
