Welcome Mama! Welcome Baby! Welcome Papa! Thank You for Your inquiry and love of traditional birth! I have been blessed to have over 2000 births in home settings and I acknowledge the Ancestors secrets that bring birth into its Rite of Arrival and Mama's Rite of Passage...with all the degrees and credentials I have learned that birth is sacred and to be honored in wisdom with patience and knowledge as a guide. Birth Blessings! Dr.Midwife@live.com

Studied natural birth for 2 months in the Philippines and 3 months in Mexico as a birth assistant and years in the US working as a doula. I have also spent 6 months in Alaska with GoMidwife working on academics and building my skills as a midwife, 13 months working with Karen Webster at WomanWise Midwifery and 2 months in a busy birthing house in PA. I also attended SWTC's midwifery program. I have been working in the birth world for 11 years and am excited to continue for many more! I am currently licensed in Maryland and Delaware and am based out of Berlin, Maryland. When I’m not busy with my own little family or researching and working with Mommas and babies I am working in fiber art, playing music, creating, latin or ballroom dancing, teaching fitness or music and many other things. I love working with my hands and creating beautiful things for everyday life. Althea Midwifery came from both my and my daughter’s middle name. Althea means Beautiful, Wholesome and Healing. Those words perfectly describe the desires I have for each birth I am involved with.

Founder of The Momager Co. Definition: Momager: /mAH-mUH-JeRR Noun: Somebody who Manages the needs of a new or soon to be parent supporting them through fertility, pregnancy, birth, parenthood and everything in between. Hello everyone. My name is Taja Iglesias but you can call me Tay. I am a mother, full spectrum doula, doula trainer, lactation professional, placenta practitioner and soon-to-be midwife! My career supporting families in all capacities of parenthood led me to becoming the founder of The Momager Co. - a doula & parenting support agency. Experiencing disparities as an Afro-Latinx LGBTQ parent and walking with many families going through similar challenges with little to no access to support, led me to expanding The Monager Co and adding in our non profit - The Momager Collective: sister company to The Momager Co specifically serving low-income parents and families of underrepresented communities like the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ families. When it comes to caring for clients, our Momagers provide bespoke care that is tailored to your needs. We meet you where you are mentally and emotionally, in order to best educate, prepare and support you for the journey to come. We're here for you and excited to be a part of your story!

As a homebirth midwife, it is my hope to facilitate an empowering environment for women to receive respectful care centered around bodily autonomy and supporting the family unit as a whole from pregnancy and birth to postpartum. My goal is to help you feel confident and informed with each choice that presents itself through out your entire time with me as your care provider. I believe no matter what birthing experience you chose, or if your plans change, having a say along with some self efficacy in your care can help achieve better birth outcomes overall.

I believe in the body's innate knowledge to grow and birth a baby. My job is to educate, guide and support you to do just that. I am an evidence-based practitioner who brings you the data and information and believes you are the best person to make the choices for you and your family. Midwifery is a second career for me - and I am so lucky to have found it! I love working with families through this transformative chapter in their lives. When I'm not midwifing, I'm hanging with my kids outside and often cooking.
