About me

Hello everyone! My name is Tamieka Penman, and I like to go by The Vocal Doula. I am new to the birthing community and excited to begin supporting families in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Advocacy, education, and empowerment are at the heart of the care I provide. As The Vocal Doula, my mission is to help every birthing person feel heard, respected, and confident throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or adding to your growing family, I am here to walk alongside you — offering emotional support, evidence-based information, and a strong voice for your wishes and needs. I believe every family deserves to feel powerful and supported during this transformative time. I look forward to connecting with you and being part of your beautiful journey!
