The word "naturally" itself carries multiple layers of meaning that are central to our approach. It signifies something "happening or existing as part of nature and not made or done by people," emphasizing our belief in the inherent power and wisdom of the birthing body. When we say someone does something "effortlessly," you might say, "she sings so beautifully and naturally." This effortless, intuitive flow is what we strive to cultivate in the birthing space. We believe that birth, when supported appropriately, can unfold with a natural rhythm, much like a natural phenomenon. Furthermore, "naturally" implies something that occurs "in a natural or normal manner," suggesting that our services aim to normalize and empower the birthing process, making it feel less like a medical event and more like a profound life passage. We use "naturally" to indicate that we think something is very obvious and not at all surprising in the circumstances – that comprehensive support for expecting families should be a given. When things go wrong, all of us naturally feel disappointed and frustrated; our goal is to mitigate these feelings by providing proactive, informed, and compassionate care. Our philosophy is about honoring the body's innate ability, supporting it without unnecessary intervention, and allowing the journey to unfold as it naturally should. ### What Does "Naturally Nurtured" Truly Mean? To be "naturally nurtured" means to be cared for in a way that aligns with your inherent design and needs, fostering an environment where growth and healing occur organically. It’s about recognizing that every individual is "being in a certain way by nature," whether it's "she has naturally curly hair" or the unique way a person processes emotions. In the context of birth, it means providing support that allows the birthing person to tap into their innate strength, intuition, and resilience. We don't impose; we facilitate. We don't dictate; we empower. This nurturing approach extends beyond the physical act of birth. It encompasses emotional, informational, and practical support, ensuring that families feel respected, heard, and confident in their choices. It’s about creating a space where the birthing process comes "naturally" to the family, much like "playing the violin comes naturally to her" for a gifted musician. Our services are designed to remove obstacles and provide the gentle guidance needed for a smooth, empowering experience, without special help, treatment, or action by somebody unless truly necessary. The enzyme is naturally present in garlic; similarly, the capacity for a positive birth experience is naturally present within you, and we help you unlock it. ## Comprehensive Doula Support: Your Guiding Hand At the heart of Naturally Nurtured Birth Services is our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional doula support. A doula is a professional trained to provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a birthing person before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. Our doulas understand that the journey to parenthood is deeply personal, and they are dedicated to respecting your choices and advocating for your preferences every step of the way. Our doula services are designed to be a constant, reassuring presence. We offer prenatal visits to discuss your birth plan, address concerns, and build a trusting relationship. During labor, our doulas provide comfort measures, emotional encouragement, and help facilitate communication between you and your medical team. Postpartum, they offer invaluable support as you navigate the initial weeks with your newborn, helping with feeding, emotional adjustments, and practical advice. This continuous, non-judgmental support allows families to feel secure and empowered, knowing they have a knowledgeable and compassionate ally by their side. ### Meet Our Expert Doulas: Chelsey and Swandra The expertise and dedication of our doulas are cornerstones of Naturally Nurtured Birth Services. We are proud to have skilled professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and a heartfelt commitment to every family they serve. **Chelsey** is a birth and postpartum doula supporting expecting families in Memphis and the surrounding areas. Her dual role means she can offer comprehensive care, from the excitement of pregnancy through the tender early weeks of parenthood. Chelsey's support is tailored to each family's unique needs, whether it's guiding them through labor techniques, offering emotional solace, or providing practical assistance during the postpartum period. Her presence ensures a seamless transition, allowing new parents to focus on bonding with their baby. **Swandra Cowlie** is another integral part of our team, serving as a birth doula and student midwife for expecting families in Memphis and the surrounding areas. Swandra's background as a student midwife provides her with an even deeper understanding of the physiological aspects of birth, complementing her doula skills. This unique combination allows her to offer robust informational support, helping families understand medical procedures, make informed decisions, and navigate the complexities of the healthcare system with confidence. Her dual perspective enriches the support she provides, making her an invaluable resource for families seeking a knowledgeable and empathetic guide. Both Chelsey and Swandra embody the "naturally nurtured" philosophy, providing support that feels intuitive, respectful, and deeply empowering. ## The Healing Touch: Massage Therapy for Every Body While our name highlights birth services, Naturally Nurtured Birth Services also recognizes the profound benefits of therapeutic touch for overall well-being. Although prenatal massage is specifically for those who are expecting, we offer massages for all. Massage therapy is intended for anyone needing help with releasing pain and discomfort or looking for a relaxing experience. This commitment to holistic care extends to every member of the family and beyond. Our massage services are tailored to address a wide range of needs, providing relief, relaxation, and rejuvenation. For expecting mothers, prenatal massage can alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and muscle tension, promoting better sleep and reducing stress. But the benefits don't stop there. We understand that pain and discomfort are not exclusive to pregnancy. Mamas, papas, children, athletes, business professionals, etc., we've got your back! Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, muscle soreness from intense activity, or simply seeking an hour of tranquil escape, our skilled massage therapists are here to help. Visit our massage therapist today to experience the healing power of touch. ### Beyond Pregnancy: Massage for All Stages of Life Our approach to massage therapy at Naturally Nurtured Birth Services is inclusive and comprehensive. We believe that everyone deserves to experience the benefits of therapeutic touch, regardless of their stage of life or specific needs. Freda, with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, youth, young adults, and families in various environments, including child and family therapy, mental health, juvenile justice, public schools in general and special education, medical social work, children's services, substance use, life coaching, and holistic healing, brings a unique and profound understanding of the human body and mind to our practice. While the data does not explicitly state Freda is a massage therapist for the company, her extensive background in holistic healing and working with diverse populations strongly suggests a deep appreciation for comprehensive well-being, which aligns perfectly with offering massage services to a broad clientele. The integration of massage therapy into our offerings naturally complements our birth services by promoting overall wellness. For parents, whether new or seasoned, the physical and emotional demands can be immense. Regular massage can help manage stress, improve circulation, and reduce muscle tension, allowing them to better cope with the challenges of family life. For children and adolescents, massage can aid in relaxation and address growing pains. Athletes can benefit from deep tissue work to enhance recovery and prevent injuries. Business professionals often carry stress in their neck and shoulders; a targeted massage can provide much-needed relief. This leads naturally to our next point: our commitment to building a supportive community that extends beyond just birth. ## Building a Community: Mentorship and Referral Programs Naturally Nurtured Birth Services is more than just a provider of individual services; we are dedicated to cultivating a vibrant, supportive community.
