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 Birth Doula

Tyana

Hello beautiful people, my name is Tatyana, although I prefer to be called Tyana. My pronouns are she/they, I am 27 years old. I’m what some people may consider to be a “jack of all trades/master of none” because I could never limit myself to allowing one particular gift or talent to define me. 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 work in the light of our ancestors and have also been practicing tarot for 7 years now. 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.

Jajuana

Peace and Blessings! I am Jajuana, an experienced full spectrum doula, placenta encapsulation specialist, Reiki practitioner, certified yoga instructor, healer, mentor, and advocate for reproductive rights and justice. Reclaiming my birthright and my ancestors’ spiritual and healing practices awakened my passion for birth work and wholistic health and wellness, a journey I have been on for well over 25 years. As a grounded believer in promoting the overall health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities, I strive to provide full-service support to empower individuals to connect with and reclaim their inner Divine Power. As a natural born nurturer and caregiver to others, I have had the honor of assisting families wherever they have found themselves on their reproductive journey. As your Doula, I am here to be of service to you: to advocate and elevate you as you transform, to listen as you share, to pour love as you grow, to encourage and remind you to trust in your body, and to answer questions as they arise. As your birth and postpartum doula, it is my duty to nurture you as you heal and create safe and sacred space for your tiny Spirit until you get them earthside. 
 
“To be a doula is to be of service; to offer nonjudgmental support, sisterhood, experience, wisdom, and knowledge to a birthing person in all choices and natural outcomes. Being a Black Doula is to be the champion of black and brown babies and their mothers. I strive to be with, hold sacred space for, and celebrate people going through reproductive experiences, especially in places where systemic racial disparities impact birth outcomes. It is an honor to advocate for, support and educate birthing persons on their journey.  What a beautiful gift it is to share in this work; I am ancestrally and eternally grateful.”

Tashona

Hello! My name is Tashona. I was born in sunny Florida and raised in the wonderful state of North Carolina. As a 10 year military spouse I've moved many, many times and am thrilled to have landed back at home in North Carolina.

I believe strongly that I was created to help, serve, and care for others so that they can fully do what they were created to do. After becoming a licensed massage therapist in 2013 and specializing in women's wellness, my passion for the prenatal period led me down the path of becoming certified in Fertility Massage (for both partners), Prenatal, Labor, and Postpartum Massage, and Infant Massage instruction. These massage certifications are what introduced me to birth work and now I can't imagine doing anything else.

Tawianna

Greetings! I am Tawianna and I am a trained Birth Doula in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. This path of becoming a Doula chose me long before I came across the profession of being a birth worker. My purpose is to nurture, inform, and empower you so that you can create a plan to have the birthing experience you desire. I am here to get to know you and your family, and help support you emotionally and physically throughout this journey of ushering in new life. I look forward to building a relationship, and providing you with the resources to make this a smooth transition. 
My professional background includes attending North Carolina Central University-BA Public Administration, which led me on a service mission to serve young teen mothers, and becoming a mentor with Young Professionals Organizations.  Becoming a mother myself is what sparked a new passion to serve new parents through the process of pregnancy and birth. I am currently completing my certification program through Birth Arts International.

My services currently include Birth Doula packages, Belly Binding, and Breastfeeding Support. I look forward to working with you and your growing family!

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!
