Meet Amanda 

Hi there! I'm Amanda Githaiga, your trusted Birth Doula certified through the esteemed Harbor Birth Institute.

 

I'm proud to be Middle Tennessee's go-to Crunchy Christian Birth Doula, and I'd love to share a bit about myself with you.

My love for the serene beauty of water and sunsets mirrors my approach to birth—calm, soothing, and full of wonder, all rooted in my unwavering trust in The Creator, God. 

My experience as a doula is quite diverse. I've supported mothers through VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and VBA2C (Vaginal Birth After Two Cesareans), multiple births, and surrogacy. I've been there for families navigating the challenges of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and high-risk pregnancies, providing unwavering care and expertise.

I am passionate about setting birth up for success prenatally with a focus on optimal fetal positioning with Spinning Babies and Gilligan's Guide. An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure which is why I take a holistic approach to birth that takes mindset, environment and nutrition into consideration.  

I adapt to various birthing environments, whether it's at home, in a hospital, a birth center, or even during a free birth experience. My goal is to empower families to choose the birthing setting that aligns with their unique preferences.

As a mother of two myself, I'm crazy about my little ones, Lilianna Rose (2012) and Jasmine JuneRose (2020). They showed me all that birth can be and inspired me to help women achieve a powerful, autonomous birth experience.  They are the heartbeat behind this work, and my husband Stanley is the rock that supports our family. With his unwavering love and our beautiful children, I'm inspired every day to provide support and warmth to families as they welcome their new additions, no matter the path their birthing journey may take.

Beliefs 

I believe that birth is not something to be feared, but something to be celebrated and embraced as it transforms you into someone your former self couldn't even imagine.

 

I believe that love is the cornerstone for an empowered birth and support her foundation.

 

I believe that no matter how or where you give birth as long as there is a solid foundation and a firm cornerstone will find your inner power.

 

I believe that you have sovereignty over your body and will provide you with evidenced based information when appropriate.

 

I believe that you feeling satisfied with your birth is the best goal, not simply "healthy baby, healthy mama."  

 

Finally, I believe that birth, when done with love, support and respect has the potential to change the world as we know it.
