The Story of Planting Roots

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

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

I support, guide and nurture expecting families so they can give birth in a way that leaves them feeling calm, confident & empowered. 

Come Together

I am a Holistic Doula currently training as a midwives assistant.  I have experience with simple and short births, very long and complex births, and everything in between. I am here to support you and your spouse through your birth story, and on into postpartum. I specialize in home births & birth photography. 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. 

My Background

 I am a veterans wife, have been married for 9 years, and have three beautiful children. I specialize in birth and postpartum support, birth photography, placenta encapsulation, and childbirth education. I take pride in my continuous education, and I am currently training as a Midwife’s Assistant ( https://www.ravenandoak.com/). I am passionate about helping mother’s plan and achieve the birth that they desire while capturing images as their birth story unfolds. 

My Hopes & Dreams

My hope as you doula is for you to be able to look back at your birth experience and feel empowered by your story. I became very passionate about birth advocacy and support after my birthing experience with my first born. That experience led me to be the doula that I am today, and gave me the ability to help birthing mother’s in the areas that they most need support in, and inform them of their birthing rights. I have experienced three very different births deliveries myself- one induction with an epidural, a water birth at a birthing center, and an unmedicated delivery within a military hospital. You are worthy of being understood, listened to, being cared for, and I am here to support you through all of your wishes for your delivery and help you achieve the birth that you desire.

ready for your autonomous birth?

Get in touch today!

I am ready to assist you!

Friday morning I woke up and our day started normal. Tk and I were talking about doing the sneak peek test the following week since the earliest you can do it is 6 weeks & I wanted to wait until 7. We were eager to know the gender of our fifth baby, and be able to share our excitement with the kids. We hadn’t announced publicly that we were expecting, but I had already called our midwife and had started dreaming of what our growing family would look like. Friday evening I started spotting after having cramping the past few days. I knew it wasn’t good. I took another test and the lines were extremely faint. My heart sunk. One of my deepest fears was becoming my reality. I knew I was miscarrying, but begged for another possible explanation. As the night passed my cramping got more severe and so did my bleeding. I cramped all through the night and started miscarrying Saturday morning. Yesterday, October 1st- also the month of loss awareness, I passed what we believe to be the baby. It has been such a hard and heavy past 5 days. I went from praying for my baby to be healthy to praying to pass everything so that I don’t have to keep having to experience heartbreak every time I go to the bathroom. We explained the loss to the kids and it was one of the most gut wrenching conversations I’ve ever had with them. I have been trying to process my emotions, grief, and thoughts. It’s hard to put into words how I feel. How do you explain the feelings for losing something so unexpected, but yet already so loved? My heart just feels so heavy.

A couple things I saw at #Aldi that I thought would be cute for either a baby shower, or to gift expecting friends. The baskets are perfect for postpartum supplies in the bathroom for easy access! Take it up a level and fill the basket full of postpartum must haves: heating pad, after ease, milk moon postpartum tonic, water cup, red raspberry leaf tea, chapstick, pads, depends, or frida mom underwear.
