Hi my name is Curbeth Tappin founder of Embrace postpartum services. I am a postpartum doula with 13 years of experience, providing exceptional care to families during the perinatal period. My journey into this field was inspired by my upbringing in a household with a mother who was a midwife, where I witnessed the miracle of birth and recognized the need for more support for both the birthing parent and baby during the postpartum period. As a postpartum doula, I offer comprehensive support to new mothers, including lactation assistance and daily infant care such as feeding and bathing. When working overnight, I ensures the baby's sleep environment is safe and maintains a detailed journal of sleep and feeding patterns. Trained by DONA International, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to provide excellent care to both newborns and parents. My passion for postpartum care shines through in my dedication to helping families navigate this transformative time with comfort and confidence.

Curbeth Tappin helped my family. Curbeth was the postpartum doula for my sister a few years before I got pregnant with my 4th child. My sister recommended that I hire her because of how much she helped her with her daughter. Curbeth came into my home after my son’s birth and had the nursery completely organized. She assisted me to acclimate the older children with the new baby. She allowed me to rest while she took care of my son. Although I had 3 other children this time breastfeeding was a bit of a struggle. Curbeth provided lactation support as well as emotional support, which I needed to get through that difficult period. She stayed and worked with my family for 3 month. A couple months later i found out I was pregnant with my 5th and last child. Curbeth returned and provided the same amazing support she provided the first time. Having 2 child under 2 years old was a very difficult, but Curbeth made this so much easier. Her patients and loving nature made her feel like part of the family. I know that any family she works for will receive the best support ever.

Curbeth Tappin worked with me after the birth of my last daughter. I decided I needed a postpartum doula because I have 3 older children. Curbeth came into my household and made all the members of the family comfortable. She was very organized and kept all the baby’s supplies in order. She helped the older children get use to their new baby sister. She would explain what she was doing and made them feel like they were part of the process of taking care of their sister. She developed a wonderful bedtime routine for the baby and this allowed her to create a sleep pattern. She provided emotional support on the days I felt like everything was going wrong. She did not just nurture the baby she provided her nurturing to the whole family. I would and have already recommended Curbeth to work with any family. Her skills and experience will definitely be an added benefit to your home.
