Living Essence Birth Doula Based in East Tennessee

Professional Certified Birth Doula Serving Knoxville, TN

I’m a DONA-certified birth doula with over 30 years of experience walking alongside families through one of life’s most powerful moments. I specialize in supporting twin births and high-risk pregnancies, and I bring calm, knowledgeable guidance to every situation. Over the years, I’ve been honored to serve families in homes, hospitals, and birth centers—each setting offering its own unique rhythm and needs. My role is to meet you where you are, provide steady, compassionate support, and help you feel informed, empowered, and cared for every step of the way.

Doula Services & Specialties

Browse Doula Offerings

My services are designed to provide comprehensive and personalized support for every birth experience. Specializing in high-risk pregnancies, I limit the number of clients I work with each year to ensure an exceptional level of care and attention for each family. I am available 24/7 to address questions, provide guidance, and support expectant mothers and their babies throughout the entire birthing journey.​

Denise was the best doula I could have asked for and I hope I have the honor of getting to use her again in the future. I was so nervous as I was preparing to be a first time mom and she met with me and talked with me prior to delivery as much as I wanted. She checked in on me often and I could tell she truly cared about me, my baby and my partner.
 
She has such a deep passion for helping women bring their babies into the world and her knowledge and experience paired with her comfort and care made her the perfect fit as a birth doula for our family. My labor and delivery experience felt like such a roller coaster but she was there to coach me through every twist and turn and I felt safe and taken care if in her presence. She was an incredible advocate for me and I can't imagine not having her there with me. I highly recommend using Denise as your doula if you want someone who cares about your wellbeing and a friend for life!
