Certified birth doula

Angele

I was born in Florida but spent my childhood years  in the Caribbean connected more to my father's heritage.   My hometown at the time was very personable where everyone knew each other. That certainly came with its advantages and disadvantages, and if you're from a small town I'm sure you'll agree.
Many fun-filled moments were spent near the ocean or in the ocean growing up.  Today I am still very much connected to water in its many forms, whether that be oceans, lakes, rivers or pools. I am very much a nature person.  When I'm not busy working, I also enjoy  cooking, reading, music, and, dancing.  In addition,  I also enjoy adventure and meeting new people. 

I have always had a keen interest  in maternity from my adolescent years.  My interest grew more for the maternal experience during my clinical rotations in nursing school. During the course of my experience, I witnessed  the hard work and strength of women in the birthing space, as well as the joyous atmosphere upon the arrival of their newborns. Furthermore, I witnessed how knowledge and skill could save both mother and baby.  

I believe that my ability to listen, be calm and understand  allows me to create the birth environment that you need in order to strive towards the birthing experience that you desire.  ​

Certified Full Spectrum Doula

Tyana

Hello beautiful people, my name is Tatyana, although I prefer to be called Tyana. I’m an artist, loctician, caterer and caregiver. I chose to become a certified full spectrum doula because I’m genuinely passionate about the sacredness of creating life and connecting with people. I’ve always been sort of the “caregiver” in my relationships or the “mom” of my group of friends. Being the nurturer to wipe away their tears, offer advice when needed or simply provide a listening ear. I realized showing compassion to others was my love language in so many words. I like to take a  holistic approach to my work with much appreciation to Mother Nature, the natural cycles and elements of life. I have a genuine passion for helping others see and reach their fullest potential even when they can’t seem to find it within themselves. I’m also an advocate for people of color in every aspect. I support ALL body-types, EVERY experience, Advocating for BIPOC Representation, Inclusion, LGBTQ+ & Anti-Racism. Birthing justice deserves to be prioritized in today’s society and I would like to become a solution to any person of color (specifically women) that need to be advocated for in the healthcare industry as it pertains to reproductive health. I’ve always had a curiosity for things outside of our human nature of understanding. It in turn has led me down a path of self discovery.

La Tanya

I am LaTanya, a Full Spectrum Doula, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Practitioner, Stretch Coach, Life Coach and Sacred Activist for life changing modalities. I am a mother of three (3) and grandmother of 7 of which I assisted with the birth of five of my grandchildren; Reign 13, Matea 7, Kekari 5, Cyneia 3 and Tavi 2. To witness and assist with the miracle birth of my grandchildren was the rite of passage to serve as a doula. 
According to maternal family oral history, both parents serve their communities as facilitators of healing. This included self-empowerment, self-healing, education, energy work, “Granny” midwifery, homeopathic remedies, and spiritual guidance.  I am a continuum of their mission and passion for wellness and life. So, the love for “Birth Work” is relevant to me and even coded in my DNA. I believe it provides a conduit for a reset to relational dynamics within the family and a healing balm to heal life where it appears broken or interrupted. Empowering Birth Parents to set their desired intentions to create an enriching birth experience that is safe, can provide a wholistic atonement for the family unit. 
Having 30 plus years of experience working with individuals and families, providing full wellness services, intuitive guidance, assisting them in reclaiming and understanding their natural birthright and sense of value as a contributor to life itself and society is a call I accept on my life. As a Doula Advocate and an innate nurturer, I will strive to provide you with inclusive and accessible Full Spectrum education and resources throughout the stages of your childbirth journey, while assisting you to identify your needs, aspirations and strengths through attentive intuitive listening and encouragement. I am so excited and grateful to take this journey with you and family. 
Much love and light always!

Kameela

I began my journey as a birth worker at the age of sixteen. I became serious and passionate about this path after witnessing first-hand the discrimination and disregard during a client’s delivery. In that moment I realized the need of advocacy and emotional support for mothers of color was needed more than ever! I am passionate about
empowering my clients to make informed decisions about their delivery and ensuring their voices are heard in all situations. Women of color are deserving of excellent care, and their bodies are more powerful than they may realize. It is a privilege to be considered to support you or your loved one through this momentous time!
