Meet Amanda Githaiga

Christian Doula. Birth Educator. Calm in the Chaos.

Hi, I’m Amanda—a certified birth doula (Harbor Birth Institute), founder of Born to Bloom: Christian Childbirth Academy, and Middle Tennessee’s go-to Crunchy Christian birth guide.

​

I help mamas walk into birth feeling prepared, equipped, and spiritually anchored—whether they’re delivering at home, in a hospital, at a birth center, or even planning a free birth. My work isn’t just about showing up when labor starts. It’s about setting the foundation long before then: shifting mindset, optimizing the body, educating deeply, and reminding you who God designed  you to be.

What I Bring to the Birth Space

​​

I’ve supported over 100 families through everything from VBACs and VBA2Cs to IVF, multiples, surrogacy, and high-risk births. I use a blend of tools like Spinning Babies® and Gilligan’s Guide to encourage optimal fetal positioning—and I fully believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of Pitocin.

​

But beyond the tools, I bring calm energy, clear education, and deep reverence for your role as a mother. I'm here to remind you that you are not at the mercy of a system—you have authority, options, and a God-given ability to birth in peace and strength.

Why I Do This Work

​

Because my first birth? Chaos.
And my second? A home water birth with an 11-pound baby, where I looked at my husband and said:
"I could totally do that again. I understand why some women have 20 kids."

​

That moment changed everything.


Now, I get to walk with other mamas as they go from overwhelmed and unsure to rooted, ready, and radiant.

​​

I’m a mama of two—Lilianna Rose and Jasmine JuneRose—and they are the heartbeat behind everything I do. My husband Stanley is the steady rock of our family, and together we live a life rooted in faith, nature, and a whole lot of family cuddles.

​​

Your birth is sacred. Your body is wise. Your story matters.

​

And I’d be honored to walk with you through the holy, the hard, and the in-between.

What I Believe​

​

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 of a strong birth, and that support is her foundation.

​

I believe that no matter how or where you give birth, when you are spiritually anchored and supported, you can walk in the strength God has already placed within you.

​

I believe that you have full sovereignty over your body, and I will help you access wisdom, discernment, and information that aligns with your values—not just what’s trending or institutional.

​

I believe that your experience matters. A satisfying birth should never be minimized in favor of a checkbox outcome.

​

And finally, I believe that birth—when covered in love, support, and reverence—has the power to shift families, futures, and generations.
