Jada Atkins
Trained Ultrasound Technician
Hello! I'm Jada, a trained ultrasound technician here at Bump.Baby.Bliss Doula, Counseling & Ultrasound Studio. I am a graduate from Xavier University of Louisiana. I’ve always had an interest in both infant-maternal health and orthopedics, with a passion for removing negative stigmas in and around healthcare. I aspire to become an orthopedic surgeon. Fun fact about me, both my parents are Jamaican and I also have visited 13 countries, I bring a diverse perspective and a comforting spirit to the team. I am excited to be part of Bump.Baby.Bliss. I look forward to making a positive impact with my skills and enthusiasm.
Jerilyn Free
Lactation Specialist
Hi my name is Jerilyn Free, but I go by Jeri. I am a certified birth doula and received my training through DONA. I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I lead the breast/chestfeeding support group at the YWCA, Mahogany Milk Drops. I currently work as a lactation consultant at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. I have been working as a doula since 2016 and have experience with medicated/non-medicated births, VBAC, c-sections, water births and virtual doula work. So as you see I am very passionate about this work.
My philosophy in birth is that you feel empowered, supported and in control of your birth decisions. Giving birth and feeding your infant is a choice that should be made by the birthing person and her partner. In simple words just feed your baby and give birth in a way that makes you happy.
