Birth Story Listening Sessions & Postpartum Support
Packages Customized to Your Needs
I help support new parents in the weeks after childbirth by providing emotional reassurance and practical help with newborn care.
As a Birth Story Listener, I hold one-on-one session where you can share your story in a safe, supportive space. You’re invited to reflect, feel heard, and explore how the experience has shaped you.
Sometimes a birth, pregnancy, or postpartum experience doesn’t go the way you hoped—and it can leave you with feelings or questions that are hard. This is not therapy, and it’s not meant to treat anxiety, depression, or trauma. Instead, it’s a chance to be listened to with care and without judgment—especially if you’ve been holding onto something that needs to be discussed.
------
As a postpartum doula, I can assist with light household tasks, allowing parents to bond with their baby, serve as an extra pair of hands while sharing valuable resources. My goal is to create a nurturing that fosters recovery and adjustment for families.
About Me
As a caring doula, my journey into this fulfilling work began with my own personal experiences. I understand the importance of support during the transformative moments of childbirth and beyond. My mission is to provide compassionate guidance and reassurance to families, ensuring they feel empowered and informed every step of the way. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where your unique story unfolds beautifully.

Client Stories & Appreciation
Here some of my clients share their transformative experiences with Nurturing Hands Doula Services, highlighting the impact of my care in promoting recovery and well-being during the postpartum period.
Postpartum Client (S.K)
Thank you for all of your help during my postpartum journey, we can't thank you enough!
Postpartum Client (B.)
We love Tonya! She was so great with J. and we feel such at ease when we are out!
Birth & Postpartum Client (E.R.)
Tonya made me feel validated from the beginning. This was my first pregnancy and as a first time mom, there were so many things I was nervous about and wanted to be prepared for. Tonya understood my feelings and even expressed similar experiences which helped not feel alone or wrong about how I felt. She periodically checked on me endorsing her continued support throughout my pregnancy. Tonya even made it a point to include my husband in the labor and delivery journey making him also feel important and valuable throughout this process. I really valued Tonya's expertise and even her advocacy on my behalf when it came to expressing my desires to my provider and to hospital staff. Even my mom was thoroughly impressed by Tonya's initiative and expressed to me how she was glad I had a doula to help her tend to my needs. I feel as if Tonya is an integral part of my family's journey and I am more than blessed to also call her a friend!
Birth Story Session Client (J.)
I recently had a session with Tonya. And, wow!
I wasn't really sure what to expect but I was so impressed and so happy that I took the time to meet with her.
The session was well led and I never felt pressured to respond quickly which really helped me because it takes me a while to process my emotions. She asked really thought provoking questions and made me feel really comfortable. I felt very heard and held.
I am slowly processing my experience but I can genuinely say I felt lighter and like I had actually finally made a start on working through my birth trauma after meeting her.
She was kind and patient but she was also able to lift the mood at the right times too; so she held space for me to be emotional but also lifted the mood with small jokes when it was needed too so i didn't feel embarrassed or self conscious. It felt like I was chatting with a friend, it was easy and I really enjoyed it.
