Honoring Birth, Holding Mothers

Where Autonomy, Wisdom, and Motherhood Meet

Hi, I'm Destiniy Bullis, your local holistic doula!

I hold space for expecting mothers in Clarksville Tennessee, Fort Campbell Kentucky, Franklin Tennessee, & Nashville Tennessee.

I’m here to support you in creating a birth and postpartum experience rooted in trust, autonomy, and deep nourishment—for both you and your baby.

The Roots of My Journey + What Working Together Looks Like

Hi, I’m Destiniy— a holistic doula, mother of five, and steadfast believer in the wisdom of the body and the sacredness of birth.

Since 2016, I’ve been walking alongside women and families during their sacred transition. I have been supporting families in Clarksville and Nashville, Tennessee, since 2019  through home births, birth center births, and the tender postpartum season. My work is rooted in autonomy, physiological birth, and honoring the sacred bond between mother and baby.

As a mother myself, I understand the depth, beauty, and challenges that come with pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I bring not only years of professional experience, but also the lived wisdom of navigating these journeys five times over.

My offerings are designed to nurture and empower mothers in every season of motherhood. These include:

  • One-on-one childbirth education to prepare you with confidence and clarity.

  • Courses and eBooks that honor holistic wisdom and modern evidence-based knowledge.

  • Placenta encapsulation for nourishing postpartum recovery.

  • Keepsake jewelry to hold your motherhood journey close to your heart.

  • A monthly membership that gives mothers ongoing support, resources, and a sense of community.

  • Mother’s circles & support groups where you can share, heal, and connect with other women.

I believe the postpartum period, especially the first forty days, is a sacred window of healing and bonding that deserves to be deeply honored. Through my care, my teaching, and my community offerings, I aim to restore the tradition of mothers being supported, nourished, and truly seen.

Birth is not just about bringing a baby into the world, it’s also about the unfolding of a mother. It’s my honor to hold space for both.

I do not replace the role of your partner, but rather we come together to better serve you as a birthing team. I equip you and your birth partner with the necessary tools to make informed decisions about birthing preferences & to feel empowered by birth. 

The roots of my journey

I believe birth is not just a medical event—it’s a deeply transformative experience. My calling as a doula began with the births of my own children, each one teaching me more about trust, surrender, and the sacred design of our bodies. I am passionate about walking alongside mothers so they feel seen, heard, and fully supported in their choices.

The Way I Serve Mothers

I am rooted in autonomy and physiological birth, honoring both evidence-based wisdom and the ancient traditions of mother care. My role is never to take over, but to hold space, offer guidance, and provide the nourishment and tools you need to trust your own instincts.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, resting in the first forty days postpartum, or navigating the early months of motherhood, I provide holistic support that weaves together education, intuition, and community. From placenta encapsulation and keepsake jewelry to courses, memberships, and intimate circles, each offering is created to nurture you as you step into motherhood.As a mom of five, I’ve lived through the sleepless nights, the sweet newborn smells, the healing, the joy, and the challenges. I know what it feels like to crave support, to wonder if you’re doing it “right,” and to long for someone who understands. That’s why I do this work- I want every mother to feel held, honored, and empowered in her own story.

My care doesn’t stop once your baby arrives. I believe in honoring the first forty days of rest and recovery, and supporting the sacred mother–baby dyad as you find your rhythm together. Whether through one-on-one education, group circles, or continued community support, I’m here to remind you that you were never meant to do this alone.

☼ welcoming Alexi to Planting Roots ☼ 

Hi, I’m Alexi! Since 2022, I’ve been a trained birth doula, dedicating my time to supporting mothers through one of life’s most transformative experiences. After the arrival of my son in 2023, I took a break to focus on my family. This personal journey has reignited my passion for birth work, especially for VBAC mamas. I’m committed to providing compassionate care, informed support, and empowering resources to help navigate the unique challenges and triumphs through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My own experience with a traumatic emergency c-section during the birth of my son in 2023 deeply influenced my passion for VBAC. Navigating the emotional and physical recovery while also researching future birth options opened my eyes to the unique challenges and lack of support for women desiring a VBAC. I realized the importance of having an advocate who understands the complexities, fears, and hopes surrounding this. This personal connection fuels my commitment to providing mamas with the resources, education, and unwavering support they deserve, helping them feel empowered and confident in their choices. Whether birthing at home or in a hospital, I look forward to supporting you in this season of life.

Your body does not fear birth.
Your nervous system learned fear from the world around you.
Preparation for birth is less about gathering information and more about clearing the noise & the stories that say birth is dangerous, uncontrollable, or something to endure.
When fear loosens its grip, intuition takes the lead.
And when intuition leads, the body remembers how to work with birth instead of against it.

Intensity is not the enemy of birth joy.
Resistance is.
When we soften into the waves instead of bracing against them, the experience changes.
The body opens more fully when the mind stops trying to escape what is happening.
Birth joy lives in the moment you realize:
I am still here. I am still capable. I am still safe.
You don’t need birth to be gentle to feel joy.
You need support, trust, and permission to surrender.
