sovereign support for a birth unlike any other
Birth days have never been usual days, and your labor experience should be as unique as God made you.
Birthing blessings to you,
my name is Tasha and I would be honored to connect with you on your journey to having the satisfying birth you and your growing family dream of. I serve women locally in the Silicon Valley and South Bay Area as a doula, birthkeeper, and photographer, and virtually across the country as a coach and childbirth educator. As a traditional birth guide, I respect God’s very good design of women’s bodies to knit together and bring life to brand new bearers of His image. I equip willing women to glorify the Lord in each pregnancy and birth story.
My birth philosophy begins with God’s sovereignty and focuses on motherbaby as the human authority of the time and space, leaving the birth process undisturbed and hormonal matrix intact. As parents you bear the responsibility for considering how your child is to be brought into the world and the impact that experience will have on them. If you desire to birth under God’s authority, let’s talk about what that could look like - including the options they DON’T teach in a typical birthing class.
Birth is not a medical event, nor do I offer medical advice.
PROCESS
Pre-Interview
Interested in birth support but not sure where to start? Set up a free consultation, get your questions answered, and see if we’re a good fit for meeting your birthing day dreams. If not, I can help you find a better match!
No pressure, just answers.
Prenatal Connections
If we are in alignment to work together, we will meet consistently throughout your pregnancy to holistically prepare for a wonderful birth by conducting prenatal self-care. We will envision your experience, practice comfort measures, and familiarize you with what to expect in the process.
Continuous Labor Support
When you think you are in labor, you can contact me any time day or night. If your support plan is from a distance, we will keep in touch how you prefer: video, call, or text. For in-person support I will come to you during labor, meet you at your home or chosen birth location, and stay with you until you are settled after your baby arrives.
Postpartum Visit(s)
Within a week or two of the birth, I will visit your new family in the comfort of your home to check on your personal recovery, relive the memories of the birth experience, help with breastfeeding and getting more sleep, and answer any questions you may have. Additional postpartum visits with cooking and light housework can be arranged to suit your needs.
“If a woman is empowered by birth, she thinks:
'If I can do that, I can do anything' — for the rest of her life.”
