"When you come to the edge of all the light you have known, 
and are about to step out into darkness,
Faith is knowing one of two things will happen - 
there will be something to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly."
Patrick Overton

About Tara








Giving birth truly changes your life, and it is a great honour for me to be present at such a powerful and significant time. I believe that providing support and information can increase confidence through the journey of becoming parents. Expectant parents have important questions and concerns regarding this process, and find they are able to more fully connect to their experience when they can gain information beforehand about birth and the many options available. 

As the mother of three, I understand the significant emotions and questions surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. And as a doula, I am committed to bringing support to all aspects of your unique experience. I work to inform you and provide emotional and physical support in whatever setting or options you choose for your birth and beyond. I take the time to answer your individual questions during the prenatal phase and help you decide what questions you want to ask your care provider about their preferences and what questions to raise about the policies of your chosen birth location. I am a familiar face that stays by your side for the entire labour, who is there specifically to support your needs and facilitate a positive birth experience by providing encouragement during a time of uncertainty.

While it is not possible to plan or control your birth, you can know your options, approach your labour with flexibility, make informed decisions, and recognize that how you are treated during your birth will help shape your experience and perceptions. There is no perfect way to give birth, only what is right for you and your baby, and I will honour your preferences.

It has been my privilege to have provided personalized support to more than 120 women over the last 12 years. I have been professionally trained through DONA International, a non-profit organization. Through my experiences, I have assisted women and their families in a variety of birthing situations, from cesarean birth, to epidural births, to births with no pain medications and waterbirth. I look forward to chatting with you about how we can work together!
