In addition, she helped to support my husband and gave him opportunities to take breaks as needed.” “Tanya was very helpful in positioning (with an epidural) and coaching through pushing. It made this birth a lot more enjoyable (than my first).” “Tanya came to be with us shortly after our release from the hospital and ensured a much easier transition. She was willing to help with whatever would make our lives easier with a new baby – helping with laundry, errands, and making sure we were all eating and resting, to spending precious one-on-one time with our toddler! We are so thankful for Tanya and her sweet, calming nature.” “Two years and two kids later, Tanya’s calm, caring, nurturing ways have helped us navigate this unpredictable journey of parenthood through the toughest days and longest nights. I am not only fortunate for the support she has provided my children, but so grateful for the friend she is to me as well.” “Tanya has made my husband’s and my own life so much more balanced and manageable in the weeks leading up to and following the birth of my twins!

I am a birth doula and herbalist who supports women and families through pregnancy, labor and early motherhood with steady, hands-on care. I began my work as an herbalist over 10 years ago and over time I felt called to step more fully into the birth space - walking closely with families during one of the most important transitions of their lives.

My journey into birth work began from a deep passion for supporting women through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. Becoming a mother changed me in the best way possible, and having good support by my side made that experience even more meaningful. Through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I learned firsthand how important it is for mothers to feel supported, informed, and deeply cared for. That experience ignited a passion in me to walk alongside other women and families during such a sacred and life-changing time. I believe birth is powerful, deeply personal, and instinctual. My philosophy is centered around offering compassionate, evidence-based support while honoring each family’s unique wishes and choices. I believe God intentionally designed birth with love and purpose. While every birth journey is unique, I believe women’s bodies were beautifully created for this process. My goal is to support mothers in feeling informed, empowered, and confident in the incredible strength and intuition God has given them. I believe every mother deserves to feel empowered, heard, and supported without judgment — whether that looks like an unmedicated birth, epidural, cesarean birth, breastfeeding support, or simply having someone by your side who makes you feel safe and cared for. My personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, and motherhood have shaped the way I support families. Motherhood has stretched me, softened me, and strengthened me in ways I never expected. It has deepened my empathy and helped me understand both the beauty and challenges that come with welcoming a baby and navigating postpartum life. I also openly share part of my story that has deeply shaped who I am today. I have a T-12 spinal cord injury. While this injury is part of my journey, it does not limit me from doing this work. If anything, it has empowered me to pursue it even more wholeheartedly. I am fully capable of offering hands-on support and care to the families I serve. While I do have a few small limitations, they are very minor, and I am always happy to have open conversations about them. More than anything, my injury has strengthened my resilience, compassion, and perspective on life. I truly believe God has used every part of my journey, both the beautiful and the difficult. It has molded me into the woman I am today. Through challenges, He has grown my faith, deepened my empathy, and given me a greater understanding of perseverance, grace, and the importance of support during vulnerable seasons of life. Those experiences are something I carry with me into every birth and postpartum space I enter. After moving to Tennessee, I felt deeply called to serve families within my community. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and judgment-free space where parents feel confident, educated, and cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It is truly an honor to support families as they welcome their baibies and step into this new season of life.
