Tara Khamvongsa

Hi all mamas, I’m Tara and I’m certain I’m the right doula for you and your growing family. I’m a mother of three beautiful children and I’ve experienced three very different births personally: medicated with epidural, all natural, and an emergency c section. I also breastfed each child for over a year and offer lactation support postpartum. I fully understand the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges of pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. I believe a new version of the mother is born along with the babies. I’m here to advocate for you, to support you and your personal goals. The fear of the unknown is lesser when we know someone really has our back and I will be that person for you. I’ve been an unofficial doula and breastfeeding guru for friends and family for years. You will not have to do any of this alone. I’ll hold your hand, your legs lol and your baby.

I cannot recommend Tara highly enough as a doula. From the moment we met, her warmth and compassion were evident, and she made me feel completely at ease throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. Tara was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed, and her knowledge and expertise were truly invaluable. During labor, Tara's calming presence and practical support made a significant difference. She helped me with breathing techniques, provided comforting massages, and continuously offered words of encouragement. Her ability to anticipate my needs and respond with such care was incredible. It felt like she was reading my mind at times! One moment that stands out is when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed during labor. Tara suggested a change in position and guided me through it, which made a world of difference in my comfort and progress. Her suggestions were always spot-on, and she worked seamlessly with the medical staff to ensure that my birth plan was respected. Postpartum, Tara continued to be a pillar of support. She checked in regularly, offering helpful advice on breastfeeding and newborn care, and was always there to lend an empathetic ear. Her support made the transition into motherhood much smoother, and I felt so much more confident knowing I had her by my side. Overall, Tara's dedication, professionalism, and genuine care set her apart. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as my doula. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula.

As a dedicated newborn care specialist/night nurse/birth doula, pediatric nurse, and early childhood development specialist with over two decades of experience, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. My journey in childcare began with pediatric care, where I discovered my knack for caring for children and helping them thrive. My formal education includes a graduate degree, and I've complemented my knowledge with coursework in early child development. I take great pride in fostering a safe and nurturing environment for children. My calm and patient demeanor, coupled with my approachable nature, allows me to connect easily with children and families build trusting relationships. My goal Is to comfort you in this time of need, your shoulder to cry on, your hand to hold, your ears to hear and maybe once in awhile crack a few jokes or two, child birth doesn’t have to be stressful, let’s work this out together.

Peaches was an amazing night nurse! She cared so well for our sweet girl while we could get some sleep. As first time parents, we had so many questions and she was always available whether at our home or cell between nights to answer them and keep our mind at ease. She made us feel comfortable to ask anything and we learned a lot from her. The first few weeks with a newborn are tough and we are so grateful to Peaches for helping us. She is very educated and genuinely passionate about her job, she even had our baby sleeping through the night at 3 months. You would be very lucky to have Peaches caring for your baby!

Dionne, you were such an amazing help to both Matthew and I! I loved meeting your family and having you alongside us through labor! We would not have had the experience we did if it was not for your support and encouragement and energy! Thank you so so so much!!!

I found Dionne later down the line in my pregnancy. I had known from my first pregnancy that if I gave birth again, I wanted a doula on my care team. Dionne is well versed in the medical field and truly an asset of you’re seeking doula services. I’m glad she decided to support me through the end of my pregnancy and during birth, along with her assistant. Thank you both!
