Hi there! My name is tanya (she/her), and I am a queer south asian woman based in the greater seattle area! My journey into birth work began in my public health classes in my undergraduate studies where I was particularly interested in reproductive health. The disparities in perinatal health didn't sit right with me, thus I started looking into becoming a doula. I strongly believe that each individual has the right to bodily autonomy, to make their own choices, & to be heard.

As your doula, I am here to support your birth journey by helping you prepare for birth, feel empowered, & serve you in way that feels the most safe + authentic to you! As a person of color with a chronic illness, I know firsthand how difficult it is to feel heard and understood by the health care system. I come into this work with an evidence based approach and align myself with anti-racist, HAES (health at every size), gender affirming & trauma informed care.

In my free time, you can find me in seattle coffee shops, cooking with friends, hosting craft nights, at a concert, or being cozy at home with my two fur babies (chai & earl)!

So excited to meet you!
