PLACENTA
ENCAPSULATION

Ease the postpartum experience with your own placenta. Some reported benefits include improved mood, more milk supply, and increased energy.

LACTATION 
SUPPORT

Breastfeeding is natural but still must be learned by both parent and baby. We can help get your feeding journey off to a great start.

Our mission is to connect new and growing families with professional, compassionate doulas and educators in order to create more informed, empowered, and joyful beginnings.

KIMBERLY MARTINDALE, MA

Owner

Kimberly’s heart for supporting families runs deep. With a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and over a decade of experience in behavioral health and leadership, she brings a calming, confident presence to every home she enters. Her professional journey has always centered around walking with people through life’s most meaningful transitions—and today, that includes the tender, sleep-deprived, love-soaked newborn days.

 

Kimberly offers compassionate, evidence-based support to families adjusting to life with a new baby. She specializes in overnight care, helping parents get the rest they need while feeling reassured that their baby is in nurturing, capable hands. Her approach is calm, nonjudgmental, and centered on each family’s unique needs and values.

 

In 2025, Kimberly became the proud owner of Music City Doulas, continuing its legacy as a trusted source of postpartum care across Middle Tennessee. She leads a team of exceptional doulas with the same heart and intention she brings to her own care: gentle guidance, unwavering presence, and genuine support.

 

Outside of doula work, Kimberly is a proud mom and Mimi to two beautiful granddaughters. She is also a passionate family photographer, capturing real, love-filled moments for families in all seasons of life. When she’s not working, you’ll find her adventuring solo across new countries, sharing laughs with her grandkids, or enjoying a quiet evening with good conversation and a cozy blanket.
