Hello! My name is Tessa and I have lived in Tampa my entire life. I did my training with MaternityWise Institute and finished in May of 2024. I believe in a peaceful, no-judgment birth experience for my clients. I am a christian and would love to involve my faith in my work with clients BUT-*I will not bring my religion into our time together at your request :)* I have read many books and surrounded myself with knowledge on how to assist in hospital and home birth/birthing center births. I am learned in natural pain relief and have much experience with new borns. I am also able to help emotionally and physically with an epidural. I am also a birth assistant at a birth center. Whether we work together or not, I hope you have a peaceful, stress-free pregnancy and birth :)

Stretching and exercises appropriate for pregnancy. On-Call 2 weeks starting prior to due date. Non-medical pain/comfort measures List of prenatal resources.
