About me

Hey y’all, I am Tabitha your Louisiana doula. I am a mom of 4 wild, wacky and wonderful kids. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and training to become a placenta encapsulation specialist. Growing up I wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse. When I became an adult I realized the medical field was not for me. I worked at a daycare in the infant room for 2 years. After that I worked as a chiropractic assistant for 2 years. My favorite part of the job was working with pregnant women and infants. It wasn’t until after I was done having babies that I discovered just what a doula does. I was immediately convinced that I found my calling. I have always loved all things birth and motherhood. I knew this was the journey I was finally meant to be on. “What is done in love is well done.” -Vincent Van Gogh
