Education, confidence, and advocacy for your pregnancy, birth, & postpartum.

I had a wonderful lactation experience with TaKiesha. She helped manage my expectations about breastfeeding, and taught me how to properly use all of my pump equipment. Her bottle recommendations for my little girl were spot on. She has continued to provide excellent support as I returned to work and needed some assistance with maintaining my supply. With her support I am confident that I’ll reach all my breastfeeding goals.

We are thankful and blessed that we were able to work with TaKiesha during our birth. She was able to coach us through what to expect during the entire process….a natural birth was really important to us and she helped accomplish this.

My active labor was less than an hour, unmedicated, and this was my first kid. TaKiesha advocated for my needs with my treatment team and adapted to the rapid changes in my labor. I was in pain, angry, and she took control and helped us all through it all. She noticed I started pushing before the nurses and advocated for me to get them to take my labor seriously and get ready to catch. The nurses did not want to believe that I went from 4cm to 10cm in less than 30 minutes and Takiesha would not allow them to minimize my pain! Once I made it to the delivery room I put my last bit of trust and energy into Takiesha, got on my hands and knees as she instructed, and pushed my baby boy out in 7 minutes. I had 10+ staff in the room because of how fast everything was happening but Takiesha was truly the only one I needed. She helped my son latch so effortlessly and the at-home follow-up care was amazing. She’s so supportive and wonderful and knows what she’s doing. She explained everything in an approachable non-judgmental way that left me feeling confident and ready for every stage of labor, delivery, and breastfeeding. When it’s time for baby #2, she will be my doula.

TaKiesha was there for me and my husband prior to, during, and after labor. She took the time to properly educate us on all of our options and advocated for me the entire time I was in the hospital. I had many complications and TaKiesha was amazing and encouraging every step of the way!

TaKiesha is AMAZING! I believe all first time moms definitely need a doula and she is excellent.  She was helpful and a calming presence. She definitely was a huge part of making the birth of our daughter so successful. All births are different and all are unpredictable, but she was able to educate us and help us through any unexpected ups and downs. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. If you are considering a doula, DO IT! If you are looking at who to hire, look no further than TaKiesha.

I cannot put accurately into words how great of an impact TaKiesha had in my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. What immediately stood out to us was her commitment to not only educate and support the mother but also her commitment to helping the father understand their role in the birth process.

She stuck with us through it all and helped us stick to our birth plan. TaKiesha is an amazing doula and we will rave about her for the rest of our lives!

TaKiesha was the perfect doula for us. I can say without a doubt that I wouldn’t have wanted to go through the whole process without her guidance.

Everything she does comes from evidence based research, and she really knows what she’s doing! I felt that with her help I was fully educated and as mentally prepared as I possibly could have been going into labor. I can’t thank her enough!
