What a beautiful journey parenthood brings...

My name is Tameka, I am a birth doula. The passion I have for supporting woman choices and needs in birth came after the experience I had with my first born daughter. I had planned a hospital water birth and slowly saw that dream go away. I went down the "cascade of intervention" which lead me to be labeled as "a failure to progress" ending in a C-sec

tion. The experience pushed me in the birth field so I started to educate myself about everything I could surrounding birth. When I got pregnant with my second, I was determined to get a vbac (vaginal birth after cesarean). I needed to feel I did it my way, so that I would be at peace if I ended up with another c section. I did went on having the vbac I wanted with my second and later on another one with my third daughter. The experience was very healing for me. I strongly believe support for the laboring mother and her partner to be very important and am so blessed to be able to provide that level of care during birth. Birth is a sacred experience and you should feel respected, heard and empowered. Let's talk about the vision you have for your birth! I look forward meeting you! Tameka

Journey to Birth support

Philosophy:

I strongly believe that every woman should have the opportunity to birth how they wish and feel supported in their experience. I support women and families through any birth scenario including home birth, birth center and hospital birth. My goal is to support, educate and empower my clients and make them feel like they have achieved the birth they wanted & needed.

About:

I was raised in the south of France by a French father and a Brazilian mother. In 2003, we moved to Miami, FL. The following year I attended school in Brazil and learned portuguese. It’s not until 2011 after the birth of my first daughter that my passion for birth began. After planning a hospital waterbirth using hypnobabies, I gave birth to a healthy 9lbs baby by emergency C-section. That experience, however, left me with both a physical and emotional scar. So when I got pregnant with my second, I was determined to have a vbac. I started reading and educating myself with everything I could get my hands on surrounding birth/ pregnancy/birth stories/ vbacs/ emergency childbirth,...I was determined to take control of my birth experience as much as I could by being informed. After 22hrs of labor, I had my first successful vbac . I had a second successful vbac with my third daughter and this time had a doula with me. That experience ignited my passion for birth support. Her presence was such an empowering experience for both my husband and I. So in 2017, I trained under DONA international with Ana Paula Markel as my mentor and became a doula myself. I feel so honored to be able to provide assistance and support to expecting couples.
