She is very unprofessional, she does not listen to your concerns and if you dare to not take her recommendation or advice, she will ask you to leave and terminate your care immediately. I am a 34 yr old with irregular bleeding we did try birth control to decrease some of the bleeding however the placement of the Nexplanon (inserted by her staff) was causing issues so I made an appointment to try and get the issue corrected .. once there I was told that I needed to get a hysterectomy and "just call it a day". refusing to remove the Nexplanon or fix it. I advised her that I still wanted the option to have children in the future and wanted to go over more opt avail. She then stormed out the room and advised me that was my only option. She then and asked me to leave after i called her rude and unprofessional. she terminated my care with her !!!

Dr. Callison is the BEST OBGYN in Alabama in my opinion. I have been using her since 2016 and she…read morehas helped me lose weight and get my hormones on track. She is a really great doctor to use if you have PCOS, she will get you right for sure. I moved from the area about 3 years ago and I make this 2-3 hour drive a few times a year because I refuse to get another OBGYN. She listens, she respects my wishes, and she does what is best for me based on my history and past experiences with things. She is a very nice and friendly doctor that makes things easy to understand and helps me out a great amount. They are always there when I call and need something or am having an issue. Overall, I will use her and her practice until I move too far away to or she retires.

Not only is she a Doula, but she is also a natural childbirth instructor! We decided to take her 10 week Boot Camp on natural childbirth and are so glad we did! The course covers everything from nutrition, baby care, labor positions, pregnancy exercises, relaxation techniques, birthing options, and partner support. My husband and I learned so much and felt very confident and prepared for "Labor Day." Hiring Melissa to be our Doula was such a smart decision. On the morning that my daughter was born, Melissa came over to our house and helped me get in different positions to move and progress labor. She was there the entire time at the hospital, and encouraged me the whole way through. Melissa helped to make our birth experience everything we wanted it to be. Because of Melissa, we were able to have the natural birth that we had been dreaming of. I am so thankful!

I was at 10 cm at 3:00 A.M. and I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl at 3:22 A.M.

She visited us after we brought our baby home and gave us a personalized gift bag, which was so unexpected and sweet. With our permission, she took sharable and discreet pictures during our birth experience and one of our favorites is right after he was born of us all together. She also sent the timeline she documented of when things were happening during the birth and at what time - something very special I had not even thought of! Even before we met Erica, the owner, Vicki, helped us personally with some paperwork we needed for our insurance company and I knew from the beginning this team would go out of their way to help new moms. Also, after baby arrived, Sarah met with me in my home to teach me how to do a super helpful postpartum wrap, which I also recommend. We can't thank Erica, Vicki, Sarah, and Nashville Doula enough. Highly recommend!

My situation was very different than most and I'm so glad that she decided to take me on as a client. At the time, I was traveling the county with my husband and 3 kids full time in an RV and knew that I'd be in the Nashville area when I'd be close to my due date. Maggie agreed to take me on at around 27 weeks when so many other midwifes backed out because of my different living situation. An RV birth wasn't easy, but Maggie was so wonderful and positive throughout the entire experience. I didn't end up getting my water birth as I had planned; as RV water heaters just don't cut it, but Maggie and Chelsea made me feel calm and very comfortable. They're a fantastic team!! I wish I could have used her for each of my pregnancies and any future pregnancies.

Jeannie Casey was absolutely amazing and so accommodating while handling my placenta encapsulation…read morethis summer. I had planned on having my placenta encapsulated, but hadn't worked out the details. At 36 weeks, I thought I had a bit more time. Unfortunately, my little one decided to come a bit early, and so I was caught off-guard! I called Jeannie, and she was ready and willing to take me on, even on such short notice. She had my capsules ready in a timely manner, and I can honestly say they've made a huge difference. I haven't had any issues with baby-blues, and my milk production has been off-the-charts - which I largely credit to regular capsule consumption. I would definitely recommend Jeannie and her company to any soon-to-be momma interested in placenta encapsulation.

I 100% would recommend hiring the Shoals Doula for labor support services. I met Katie at the…read morehospital when my wife was in labor and she made our experience at the hospital so memorable with her calming, loving, and fun presence. She recognized what my wife wanted and did everything she could in ensuring her birth plan went smoothly by helping cater to her physical and emotional needs before, during, and after labor. Back Story: For my wife's first pregnancy, she said she wanted to hire a doula and have this individual come with us to the hospital. Completely clueless, I was hesitant and did not see the value from a cost perspective and overall thought it was a strange concept. I was definitely not sold on the idea and I expressed I did not like the idea every time the conversation came up. Well, we had our first baby during the height of the Covid pandemic and hospitals were only allowing one support person (me) at the time of our son's birth so hiring a doula was no longer an option as it was when we first found out we were pregnant. At the time, I was somewhat thankful the doula talk was over and that it was no longer an option, however I would have still supported my wife if it was still an option and if it is what she really wanted. My wife's pregnancy went well so I assumed we would go to the hospital and easily have the baby when the time came. As soon as we got there, my wife's birth plan began to unravel. The wireless monitoring did not work, she did not progress as quickly as hoped, her body had complications with the epidural, she or the baby did not respond well to Pitocin, and the list goes on. 36 hours later, my wife was laying on the hospital bed exhausted, hurting, shaking, and she developed a fever after her water broke. Long story short, we ended up in the operating room in an emergency C-section scenario. I had given her my all as an emotional support but was at my breaking point with seeing her suffer for so long. After they got our son out and he began crying, I lost it. I was sitting in the operating room emotionally and physically exhausted and had felt like I had been punched in the face without any warning. I remember the nurses in the operating room saying come here dad and take some pictures. At the time, I was so disoriented and felt numb to everything happening at a rapid rate. I gave the nurse my phone and thankfully she got some good pictures I often go back and look at. I remember thinking, this is supposed to be happy, it was not supposed to be this difficult. When things settled down and we got situated I just had an overwhelming thankfulness for a healthy mom and baby. I left out a lot of detail but that is the short version of how our first son's birth went. 13 months later, my wife brought me a cup of coffee one Saturday morning and she said "hey I am pregnant again". My wife wanted to go for a VBAC so the planning began immediately and we both were adamant that this time things would be different. As soon as she mentioned hiring a doula, I said let's do it, anything you need that you think may help, I support you entirely. When hiring a doula, she offers birthing classes, one on one consultations, recommended stretching routines, foods to eat/ avoid, etc. When the time came, my wife went into labor on her own. We called and asked when would be a good time to go to the hospital again even though we had been through everything with her. It was more for comfort at that point and hearing Katie remind us of everything was encouraging at the time. We ended up leaving for the hospital around 1:00 a.m. and Katie made her way to the hospital the next morning (she would have come immediately in the middle of the night if we had asked her to). When things during this birth started trending against what we had planned, Katie was there to offer advice and give us options over every important decision we had to make at the hospital. I was able to step out of the room periodically when my wife was laboring and take a quick "mental break" and that made a world of difference for me. I was able to come back in and could support my wife much better than I had during our first son's birth. Well, unfortunately she stalled at 8 cm dilation and we made the very difficult decision to go back in for a repeat caesarian before things turned into an emergency situation. It was definitely not the plan but having a doula gave us the confidence that we did absolutely everything physically possible we could and it helped when it came time to make difficult decisions. Having Katie involved with our second son's birth was so encouraging and I was so thankful she was able to be apart of this huge life event for us. Her being there also gave us closure on our first son's birth and that made all the difference and for that I will forever be grateful.

Being that it was our second baby, I hesitated to hire a doula as I naively thought I didn't need to but I am SO glad that I did. I initially hired her because our spiritual beliefs align and I really appreciate that but I didn't realize she was also a superstar doula. She took time to really get to know our family and listen to what our birth preferences, goals and dreams were. I know she had a huge part to play in how those goals and dreams were not only met but exceeded when it all was said and done. North Alabama is so blessed to have her! She truly empowered us to advocate for ourselves. I am so grateful for all the practical tips she helped me with that prepared my body and baby for an optimal birth. She encouraged me when I needed it and helped me stay grounded during some bumps in the road of my pregnancy. If I texted or called her, she responded promptly and went above and beyond to answer my questions. She checked on me leading up to birth and during postpartum and I felt really supported because of that. I had a very quick labor and birth in the middle of the night and she rushed to make it to the hospital and provided awesome comfort measures even amidst the quickness of it all. She is the doula version of super woman! I will forever recommend her to anyone who asks me about doula support and definitely want to hire her should I have more babies in the future. So grateful for her and all she did for our family.
