WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2015 by Ashley Stebbins and Arielle Fears, Music City Doulas began as a bold vision to bring inclusive, compassionate, and professional birth and postpartum care to families of all compositions across Middle Tennessee. Their legacy of empathy, advocacy, and excellence built the strong foundation our agency stands on today.

Kimberly brings deep expertise in both postpartum support and behavioral health, with a commitment to uplifting families through every stage of the parenting journey.
We proudly serve Nashville and the surrounding region with personalized care, evidence-based education, and unbiased support. Whether you’re welcoming your first baby or your fifth, our doulas are here to walk with you — offering professional guidance and heartfelt care from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond.
