About Tara
Why I Became A Doula
I know what it’s like to feel afraid and disconnected during birth. My own experience was highly medicalized, and fear pulled me away from my intuition, my body, my baby, and my husband.
Now, my purpose is clear—to bring safety, calm, and connection back into birth for women who are stressed, scared, or healing from past trauma.
"Tara jumped right in with lots of well practiced techniques to ease my discomfort and she carried us all the way to the finish line without needing any medical forms of pain relief. After a heavily medicalized first birth, I will forever be grateful to her for that. Thank you Tara."

What I Do
I am a trauma-sensitive Doula who helps women and their partners birth with calm and confidence.
Through hands-on, evidence-based education and practical tools, we integrate these skills so that when labour begins, it feels exciting, grounded, and safe—not overwhelming.
My method is holistic and personalized, blending yoga, meditation, breathwork, Reiki, and childbirth education in a step-by-step process that supports your body, mind, and nervous system.
I help you and your partner advocate for the birth you want, helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered.
When you are in labour, I’m by your side as your doula—providing continuous emotional, physical, and energetic support so you can feel grounded and empowered and give birth as naturally as possible.
"Tara transformed the room with candles and music, creating a calm and peaceful environment. Her exceptional support, including Reiki, massage, and hydrotherapy, made a significant difference. At one point, she placed her hand on my neck, and I instantly stopped shaking and felt the pain ease. I couldn’t have managed without pain meds for so long if it weren't for her."

Who I Work With
First-time parents who feel anxious about labour but are determined to prepare.
Families healing from previous traumatic or overwhelming birth experiences.
Women planning a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean).
Birth partners who want to be supportive but don’t know how.
Women who want to give birth as naturally as possible.
Families who appreciate evidence-based care blended with holistic modalities like Reiki, breathwork, and yoga.
"Tara especially helped me with any anxieties or fears I had around delivery. Her doula services went above and beyond as she helped me navigate my emotions around the passing of my father and the birth of my new baby. I will always hold dear the conversations she allowed me to have with her and the safe environment she provided. I'm very grateful that Tara was a part of my journey."

My Mission
My mission is to reduce prenatal stress and prevent birth trauma—for you, your baby, and your family—by being the steady, compassionate support you deserve during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum.
"Thank you for your calm presence. You have gone above and beyond with my long labour. I felt supported even when plans kept changing and ended in a safe c-section."

I am a connection-based parent who loves creating a calm and present home environment for my family.
