MY STORY & MISSION

For the past 16 years, I traveled the world as a public health advocate, but FAMILY led me to become a Doula!

My sister found love later in life and was deemed high risk for having her first baby at 39 - after all my research,
I learned that the best way to support her was to be her Doula.

Long story short: Now I’m a full-time Doula/Birth Worker and I am never going back to an office job, ever again.

Bonus: New Motivation Tattoo, ask me about it.

Why I enjoy my work: I am free. I show up with great energy and big-up to my clients’ sharing these experiences with me.

Through workshops, one-on-one support, and compassionate care, we foster connections, create lasting memories, and pave the way for families to embark on their parenthood adventure with strength and resilience!

Lola

Terry was fantastic. We really did not know what to expect. Meeting with her made us feel so much more prepared as she guided us in documenting our birth preferences. She made us feel calm and prepared as labor started.
Reina

Her approach to labor and delivery support was a perfect balance of calm reassurance, helpful insight during the moments of decision-making, and physical and emotional support. We highly recommend her doula services!
Taylor

I was extremely adamant about being a breastfeeding mom and I wanted to give up a dozen times… She recommended some things to do and she COMPLETELY saved me from giving up. Thank you so much!
James

“Amazing” would not do justice in describing her qualities as a doula. It's simply impossible to put into words how important Terry was to us during and after our son's birth. Hiring her was the best decision we ever made.
Jasmine/ Joseph

We weren’t sure if we wanted a doula until our midwife told us she thought we should call her. Now we are so happy we did! We couldn’t imagine having a baby without you. Thank you for all your help during our labor and postpartum.
Layla

I was go glad you were there. Your presence really helped me through my labor. The nurses were right when they told me that things had happened so fast and so smoothly because I had a doula with me! Your labor advice gave me both practical skills and more confidence as things continued moving along. I am glad that you were there with me at the hospital. Thank you so much!
Ruby

We took childbirth classes and felt so well prepared for our birth and postpartum because of it! After our baby was born, we continued to text and I asked questions constantly! Terry was super responsive, kind, and thorough, and I honestly can’t imagine what I would do without her resourcefulness.
Marcie

Awesome experience! Both my husband and I considered her indispensable. Terry provided a level of comfort and reassurance we sorely needed. Once we hired her we felt we could finally feel more prepared. The pregnancy, labor delivery and postpartum (breastfeeding included) periods were all improved thanks to her presence and the knowledge that we were in the hands of a professional at birth and babies.
