I'm Tamarra, a State-certified Doula with 8 years of experience supporting families in Portland and Los Angeles. I'm passionate about offering hands-on guidance and care, helping women navigate the journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with confidence.​ ​ Growing up in a large family and later becoming a mother of two, I’ve been surrounded by birth and children my entire life. This personal experience, combined with my professional certification, allows me to offer informed, compassionate care tailored to each family's unique needs. ​ Childbirth can be both physically and emotionally demanding, and my goal as your doula is to help ease stress, answer your questions, and provide the support you need throughout labor. Whether you're seeking comfort through physical touch, emotional support, or advocacy for your preferences, I'm here to support you. I also understand the importance of cultural awareness and prioritize providing care that respects and aligns with your unique heritage and values. ​ I am honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to helping you bring your baby into the world with confidence, support, and a little bit of magic.

As a birth and postpartum doula, I provide physical, emotional, and informational support to families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the early days of parenthood. My role during labor is to offer continuous guidance, ensuring that the birthing person feels empowered and comfortable in their choices. I support families in creating a birth plan that aligns with their desires, offering comfort techniques such as massage, breathing exercises, and position suggestions, all while advocating for their needs with medical providers. After the birth, I help the family transition into the postpartum period by assisting with newborn care, breastfeeding, and emotional support as they navigate the challenges and joys of parenthood. Beyond childbirth, I offer postpartum care that focuses on both the physical and emotional well-being of the new parent(s). This includes helping with infant care, and offering lactation support. I also give emotional reassurance, especially for those experiencing the challenges of adjusting to life with a new baby. My aim is to create a supportive environment that helps families feel confident and well-cared-for during one of the most transformative times in their lives. Through personalized care, I ensure that each family feels supported and nurtured as they bond and grow together.
