Get to Know Me
PEG Kunz
aka
Grandma Bear
Hi, I'm Peg! I moved from Upstate New York to Nashville, Tennessee, to be closer to family. My husband, David, and I had the privilege to raise two strong, independent women and now have the honor to be grandparents. I'm a Grandma Bear, aka "G.B." to my beautiful granddaughter, Olivia. Olivia's birth was the deciding factor for me becoming a doula. I want to serve and empower Mama's on their birth journey and into parenthood.
My hobbies include creating new recipes with what's in the fridge, writing, playing with Olivia, Netflix binging, being a taste master for all ice cream, running (to keep eating all the ice cream), and snuggling with my sweet dog, Henry. I can't wait to meet with you and hear about your birth vision!

My Background
I have cared, served, and advocated for others for over 20 years in nursing. I earned my associate's degree from Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing affiliated with Yale-New Haven Health Systems and my bachelor of science degree from the University of Seton Hall.
All of my education and life experiences bring well rounded wisdom and energy as your birth doula.
Birthing Education
Navigating reproductive health, particularly before, during, and after pregnancy can be, at times, confusing and overwhelming, and this is where a professionally trained birth doula can be a beneficial asset to educate the mama, partner, and family as what to expect during their pregnancy and birth. I work with my couples to provide evidence based research so they feel empowered to make decisions on their birth.
Labor Support
I provide support, guidance, advocacy, and education throughout pregnancy but it all comes together during labor and birth. My primary purpose is to focus on you, Mama, so that your can have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. I provide help and advice on comfort measures such as breathing, relaxation, movement, and positioning. Let me help you envision your birth and bring your little one into the world where you will look back and cherish this time.
My Services
As first-time parents, there’s nothing like having the support a doula offers when it comes time to have the baby. Hiring Peg was the best decision we made. She was so warm, reassuring, and calming throughout the entire process! She listened to our wishes and was the ultimate support advocate for us during labor and delivery. She knew exactly what we needed and was such a blessing to both myself and my husband. We absolutely love Peg and will be having her by our side for all our future pregnancies.

Testimonials
We put a lot of thought into how we wanted our first birth experience to go, and by far the best decision we made was hiring Peg as our doula. We knew she would be helpful, but there truly aren’t words to express just how priceless and valuable having Peg there was. She supported both myself and my husband in ways we didn’t know we needed, and allowed us to have the birth experience we desired. If there’s one decision you absolutely need to make regarding your birth, it’s hiring Peg as your doula.
