About Tania

When my sister was expecting her first child, I was comforted by the fact that she had hired a doula. I knew that throughout the entire process, all her questions would be answered, and I knew that both physically and mentally, she would be taken care of. I remember a moment when I was able to visit after her birth, I was so happy to see that the doula was so devoted and nurturing towards her. It was in that moment that I realized the path I wanted to take in my life.

For many years I have worked with people, helping and nurturing them. As an educator I always believed that the value of knowledge was priceless, and that sharing information can be one of the most empowering things a person can do. I discovered that in becoming a doula, there was a career that would allow me to combine all of my passions and talents into one.

I traveled to Victoria, BC to attend the Holistic Doula Program at Pacific Rim College. I worked and studied with many inspirational women,  journeying through pregnancy, birth, and the earliest moments of child-care and parenting. I studied human anatomy, family support, nutrition and natural herbs, and I learned how these could work together to empower a woman's transition through the psychical and mental changes of pregnancy and postpartum. I discovered the many different and wonderful ways a woman can experience child birth. I realized that birth is an experience that should be cherished, not feared; that the very thoughts and ideas surrounding child birth are changing every day, and that we can be a part of this inspiring and positive shift. I was very blessed to have gone through these life changing experiences.

It is my passion to help empower you and your family by offering care and information. I am what some have called a birth BFF; I’ll be there to listen and support, to laugh and cry, to trust and confide. I wish for you and your family to experience the journey of birth the way it was always meant to be: a beautiful new beginning.

"Tania was an incredibly calm and collected presence providing sincere and constant reassurance (even for my 4 year old son and husband at just the right moments). She anticipated exactly what was needed and when – whether a few words, water, a hand to squeeze or just the right things out of her magical doula bag. I wouldn't want to birth again with out her in the room with us." Lisa read more
