Tinaya was an important member of my supprt team during my pregnancy and my daughter's birth. She provided comofrt when I walked through stormy pregnancy hormonal days. She encouraged me to laugh and dance and embrace all my bodily changes. She helped me to trust my body in every way. I felt like I was born to birth when I was with her.
I worked with her after experiencing a miscariage and she created a safe space for me to speak my truth, for me to speak about my fears for this pregnancy. I felt heard and valued by her.
Having Tinaya as my doula set the tone throughout my pregnancy for an empowered birth. When the world focused mostly on how my unborn child was doing, Tinaya set her eyes and attention on how I was coping and how my body was feeling.
Birthing a baby is a journey. There are unpredictable twists and turns and rough spots. Tinaya held my hand through it all. She bent when I needed her to and she was that small voice ( yet powerful) voice reminding me that I had everything I needed within myself.
I know with 100% certainy that my work with her helped me to prepare mentally for my birth and advocating for myself in the hospital system.
Tinaya is doing GOOD work. WE NEED HER IN THIS FIELD.
