Kristin Hunzicker

Postpartum Doula

 Kristin is a middle Tennessee native, where she lives with her childhood sweetheart/husband David of 12 years, four kiddos Braxton (12), Judah (10), Anna (9), and Maryn (6), and pup Hadley. From a young age, Kristin discovered an innate love of caring for children and supporting families. Initially, sibling care followed by full-time nannying fostered a passion for all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum care, and motherhood.

Kristin has over 20 years of experience in caring for infants and families. She has a strong passion for the transforming journey of motherhood, particularly the tender months following the arrival of a baby. Since having the honor of experiencing motherhood biologically, through foster care, and adoption, she provides a unique and compassionate view of motherhood. She particularly enjoys encouraging and empowering mamas in the first months postpartum and walking closely with families in feeding support, sleep concerns, home care, sibling adjustments, meal preparations, and the daily grind.

In her career as a Speech and Language Pathologist, she trained and worked closely with infants and toddlers with feeding and language concerns for the past 10 years.

When not assisting families, she enjoys homeschooling her children, serving her church in ministry, providing foster care/adoption support, hiking and camping with her family, thrift shopping (she loves a good deal!), and cooking.

What clients have said….

  • “Kristin was my postpartum doula when I had my second son just 18 months after my first. We wanted to have help because we had no idea what we would be getting ourselves into with a newborn and an 18 month old stuck in the house with us in the middle of winter (my son was born Jan. 3). I was SO grateful to have her help but honestly more grateful just for her presence. Kristin is kind, nurturing, thoughtful, and brings such a peaceful energy into your home. I felt so well taken care of. I looked forward to when she would come because I was able to do what I wanted to do most - sit and hold my sweet baby. She took care of dishes, laundry, meal prepping, and chasing around my toddler. She went above and beyond every moment she spent in my house and I loved her so much I recommended her for my sister who was having her baby just a few months after me. She was truly a perfect fit for our family and I will absolutely hire her again when we have our next baby.” -H.M.

  • “Kristin has such a special way with our daughter. She’s incredibly attentive and has this calm, gentle energy that babies and children just seem to respond to. Somehow, she can even get our daughter to sleep when no one else but Mom or Dad can — it feels like magic! We always feel completely at ease knowing our little one is in her care. On top of that, Kristin is always looking for ways to be helpful, and the house somehow looks better when we come back than when we left it. She’s truly one of a kind, and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives.” -M.T.
