For nine months, your placenta grows alongside your baby — nourishing, protecting, and sustaining life in ways we rarely stop to think about

And then, after birth, it’s often treated like medical waste… even though many cultures have long honored it as part of postpartum healing

Over the years, I’ve supported families who chose placenta encapsulation to help support energy, mood balance, and recovery during those early newborn weeks — when sleep is short, emotions run high, and healing matters most

If you’re curious whether placenta encapsulation feels right for you, I’ve made it simple to learn more

✨ Head to my “Placenta” story highlight for FAQs and exactly how the process works

And if you’d like my free Welcome Packet to answer common questions, just DM me “placenta” and I’ll send it your way

I’ve watched so many families come into pregnancy and postpartum holding invisible comparisons—
what birth should look like,
how recovery should feel,
how quickly they think they’re supposed to “bounce back.”

And then something shifts.
When they pause long enough to ask different questions.
When they stop measuring their journey against someone else’s highlight reel.
When they realize their body, their baby, and their family deserve a plan that actually fits them.

One client shared that everything softened when she stopped asking,
“Am I doing this right?”
and started asking,
“What feels right for us?”
That’s the heart of this work.

Not control.
Not perfection.
But clarity, intention, and permission to trust your own compass.

If you’re pregnant or preparing for postpartum and feeling pulled in a hundred directions, this is your reminder:
you don’t need more opinions—you need alignment.

✨ I created my free Compass: Birth + Postpartum Planning Guide to help you reflect, prioritize, and gently map out support without comparison or overwhelm.

🌿 DM “COMPASS” and I’ll send it straight to you

Your story doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be powerful.
It just needs to feel like yours.

Hi, I’m Jerika — a birth + postpartum doula, educator, and placenta encapsulator supporting families in Knoxville and surrounding areas.

After years in birth work, I kept seeing the same thing: families felt prepared for baby gear, but not for the decisions, recovery, and relationship shifts that come with birth and postpartum.
So I built my work around education and support before overwhelm hits — helping families feel confident, informed, and supported through pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester.

✨ My support includes:
• Birth doula services
• Daytime + overnight postpartum doula care
• Birth + postpartum preparation classes
• Newborn care + recovery education
• Placenta encapsulation

No matter how your baby arrives, you deserve an experience where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your choices.

Not sure where to start?
Most families begin with one of these:
→ Get the free Birth + Postpartum Planning Guide
→ Attend a class
→ Book a free consult to explore support options

If you’re here, you’re already doing the best thing for your family: preparing intentionally. I’d love to support you along the way -Jerika

It’s clarity.
Support.
And space to ask the questions no one talks about until you’re already in it.

A low-pressure space to ask the questions you’ve been Googling and get real answers from someone who’s been in the room + supporting families from positive pregnancy test through the first months postpartum

→ Partner + Labor Support Skills Class
So your partner knows how to truly support you in labor — welcome parenthood together, as a team. Learn what to expect, positions, comfort measures, advocacy + more

→ Moms + Mocktails
A relaxed space to meet other expecting moms, build community, and have honest conversations about pregnancy and postpartum

→ Birth Planning Workshop
Helping you understand your options so your birth feels informed, supported, and aligned with your values — even if plans change

✔️ prepared instead of overwhelmed
✔️ aligned with your partner

No matter how your baby enters the world — vaginal birth, induction, epidural, or cesarean — your experience still deserves to feel empowering.

So many families think once a decision is made, their choices disappear.
But autonomy doesn’t end when a plan changes. And it doesn’t disappear in a hospital setting.

Planning an elective cesarean?
You can still ask for clear drapes so you see your baby being born.
You can request EKG leads placed on your back so immediate skin-to-skin is possible.
You can request delayed cord clamping and a gentle, family-centered environment.

Planning an induction?
You often have options in how your cervix is ripened.
Some hospitals offer mechanical options like a Cook’s balloon and even allow families to go home while things begin.
You can ask for low-and-slow Pitocin, or use breast stimulation before moving to medication.

Planning for an epidural?
You can still move and change positions with support to help baby navigate your pelvis and labor progress.

The goal isn’t a “perfect” birth.
The goal is understanding your options so your experience still feels aligned with your values — even if plans change along the way.

Because when parents feel informed and included in decisions, birth becomes something they carry with confidence instead of disappointment.
And that changes everything going into postpartum.

If you want help understanding your options before you’re making decisions in the moment, my classes and doula support are designed exactly for that.

You still have choices. And your birth still matters.

One thing I hear from parents all the time:
“I just wish I had a moment to exist without being needed.”

Because after baby arrives, everything shifts.
Suddenly someone needs you 24/7.
The to-do list never ends.
Rest feels impossible.
And bonding with your baby gets tangled up in trying to keep up and “bounce back.”

That’s where postpartum doula support comes in — and the work I’ve been doing with families since 2020

I step in so parents can actually recover, rest, and enjoy their baby instead of just surviving the day.

Supporting transitions, caring for baby, teaching newborn care, easing evening chaos, and helping families feel calm and capable again.

Most families invite me in for weeks or months of support. But I also know some families just need a moment to catch their breath.

✨ Evening Postpartum Relief Sessions
A few hours where you’re not the default parent.
No long-term contract required
Perfect for families unsure about ongoing support — or those who simply need breathing room during the hardest part of the day.

If evenings feel heavy right now, let’s talk.

There’s a moment in many labors — especially during transition — where the thoughts shift from
“I can do this”
to
“I can’t do this anymore.”
And that spiral can feel overwhelming

But here’s what I teach in my birth classes:
When your mind starts to panic, come back to your body
Because your body already knows what to do

Instead of fighting the contraction, try this:
• Drop your shoulders
• Unclench your jaw (loose jaw = loose pelvic floor)
• Let your pelvic floor soften/release
• Breathe low and slow instead of holding your breath, release your breath with low moans
• Focus only on this contraction — not the next five

And remind yourself:
This feeling means your body is getting closer to meeting your baby. Transition often shows up right before things change.

Grounding yourself in that moment can turn panic into progress
And this is exactly why preparation matters
Not to control birth — but so when things feel intense, you have tools to come back to center instead of spiraling

If you want practical, partner-inclusive tools to help you stay grounded during labor and feel supported afterward, my birth and postpartum preparation classes are designed for exactly this

And if you want someone in the room reminding you that you can do this when your brain forgets…
That’s where I come in
