About Tinisha
Becoming a doula and birth advocate is the realization of a lifelong dream. I began certifying as a doula in 2021 while pregnant with my son, and certified as a lactation specialist in 2022. I have experienced first-hand the support of a doula and I can say for certain it made all the difference in my birth experience. Being a doula encompasses providing comfort, knowing a client's individual needs, offering advice and guidance, communicating with your care team and more. Each experience is tailored to your particular pregnancy.
Assisting women through the incredible pregnancy, birth, and post-partum process is a great honor and privilege. If you find that I fit your individual birth needs, it would be my pleasure to support you.
Prenatal Appointments
In the last trimester of pregnancy, we set up several prenatal appointments to go over your birth plan, practice positions, comfort measures, answer your questions, and more.
Birth Services
Birth can be unpredictable, but whether a cesarian section or vaginal birth, epidural or natural, emergency or according to plan, I will work with your team to provide you the best support possible.
Post-Partum Check-Ins
A new baby is an adventure even for the most seasoned parents, and new moms need the most support from their community. Our post-partum check-ins are to ascertain the well-being of mom and see how mother and baby are acclimating to life at home.
Lactation Consults
As a certified lactation specialist, I am able to assist with breastfeeding from the first latch and throughout your breastfeeding journey. Breastfeeding can be a tricky time for some, and our lactation consultations will lend some peace of mind. Remember, no matter what, fed is best!
