“Working with Tonya during our first pregnancy was such a special experience we will never forget. Going into the unknowns of pregnancy, it was so valuable to have Tonya by our side, giving us space to be vulnerable and ask any and all questions. Tonya has a warming and calm presence that puts you at ease instantly and that was the type of energy we needed. Thank you Tonya for helping us welcome our baby girl into the world with grace and love!”
- ASHLEY & JESSE
“When we received the news that we were expecting our first child we were overwhelmed with so many different emotions. As one can imagine, we experienced fear, anxiety, joy, and love. Working with Tonya really helped to remove the anxiety and fear. The experience having someone so knowledgeable and caring available to walk us through every step of the pregnancy really put us in a place to truly focus on the love and joy we wanted not only for ourselves but for the child we were bringing into our lives. Tonya helped us understand the options we had and helped us plan for the experience that we wanted to have during childbirth. She was there to advocate for us in the chaotic delivery room both during labor and after birth. She helped us transform the delivery room into the environment that we envisioned for welcoming our son. Once we returned home, Tonya was there postpartum to help with our adjustments and caring for our new little one. Tonya was a blessing to our birthing and postpartum experience.”

"Having Tonya there to support us through the birthing process and postpartum was one of the best decisions we could have made. She is incredibly kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable, and the sense of confidence and calm she gave us is impossible to quantify. In the weeks leading up to delivery, she gave us so many tools to help us maintain a sense of calm, and our experience overall was great, in no small part because of Tonya’s guidance and presence. And in those very difficult first few postpartum weeks, she continued to provided tangible help that allowed us to get a little more rest and to feel more sure of ourselves amidst a sharp learning curve. We can’t recommend Tonya enough!”
-DEENA & AARON
"Tonya’s grounding presence was essential before, during and after the birth of our first child. Each step of the way, she sought first to understand our goal, then helped us to achieve it with her extensive experience and deep intuition. Her strength is equal parts empirical knowledge and spiritual wisdom. She is an absolute pleasure to be around and we couldn’t recommend her more. Such a jewel of a human - she has truly found her calling in life!"
- JOHANNA & LARIN
“Tonya was our doula for the birth of our daughter and for two months postpartum. She prepared us for the big day and supported us for the labor and delivery, which went as smoothly and joyously as we could have hoped for. She continued to provide great support as we navigated the challenges of breastfeeding and the turbulent waters of caring for a newborn. Tonya was calm, knowledgeable, loving, and kind and quickly became a part of our family. We are so grateful to have had her as our doula and could not have imagined a better experience.”
- JANE, KEVIN & Sophie
“Tonya brings an unwavering sense of calm and steadfast love to every aspect of her work. I couldn’t have imagined my pregnancy and birth experience without her. Tonya is patient and attentive, and she actively listens to all concerns, hopes, and wishes. Having her as our doula was hands down one of the best decisions we made as we prepared to bring our son into the world.”
