I am a certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, certified by a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist to heal your core & pelvic floor (Diastasis Recti, prolapse, lower back pain, hip pain, pelvic pain). As a mother who has personally experienced a traumatic delivery with severe postpartum complications that required surgery and extensive rehab, I understand what it’s like to slowly heal after baby. My goal is to make women feel whole again with movement and feel heard. Providers can sometimes make you feel unseen, like you are "over reacting", or ignored. I provide training during pregnancy to relieve aches/pains, prep your body for labor, and heal postpartum. Private lessons are available in-person or virtual with REVITALIZE. Postpartum Reconnect online course is a full self guided healing program to heal your core & pelvic floor day 1 after delivery.

I had the privilege of witnessing Tania from Birthing Boutique in action during the birth of my friend's baby at INOVA hospital, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Throughout the labor, Tania demonstrated an impressive blend of expertise and empathy. She was an invaluable resource, not only for my friend but for the entire birthing team, seamlessly collaborating with the medical staff to ensure a safe and empowering experience. Her ability to create a serene atmosphere amidst the intensity of labor was truly remarkable. What stood out most about Tania was her unwavering support of my friend's choices. She actively listened and ensured that the birthing experience aligned with my friend's preferences, even in the face of unforeseen challenges. In addition, she anticipated needs before they arose and was a pillar of strength during tough moments. Her holistic approach, which included massages, words of affirmation, and breathing techniques, were next level! I would highly reccomend her services!

I offer both in home and in an office setting along with virtual opportunities to work with me. The conversation may start around breastfeeding but it does not end there. Dynamic movement is foundational to breastfeeding. During our visit, I will be helping you learn how to help your baby to move, which can often leach into helping mom learn how to move as well. While many of my clients are concerned with how baby’s mouth is working, I see oral function as the tip of the iceberg. We need to work from the ground level up to get lasting results. We look into what kind of support mothers need to thrive during postpartum. A mother’s health and vibrancy is reflected back by her baby. So to help a newborn that is struggling, we need to support that newborn’s mother. We talk about nutrients mothers need to support themselves and a robust milk supply and how nurture the essential nutrient of rest during a physically and emotionally demanding season. While our goal is address any feeding concerns your family is experiencing, we work from a wide lenses to ensure we are building a lasting foundation.

Drawing from my experience as an elementary teacher, I approach every situation with calmness and patience.

I firmly believe that this empowerment contributes to positive birthing outcomes for all my clients. While I'm currently based in the NCR, I am open to travel as needed. As an active duty service member's spouse, affectionately known as "B," I am blessed with three delightful children who bring immense joy to our lives.

I am excited about the prospect of collaborating with you on your birthing journey.

If this platforme allowed me to give Bonney 100 stars, I’d do it instantly 🤍 Her professionalism and personalism are incredible, she instantly calms a room when she enters it and is so incredibly thoughtful. We met multiple times before the birth and each visiting felt more and more like I had someone who would advocate for everything I wanted. As a type A person it’s hard to trust others with important things but there was no hesitation in trusting Bonney. As an Active Duty member, I loved that she understood the military, as she is a military spouse, and I loved that she has access to the military base Fort Belvior! It made the day I gave birth so seamless! I truly cannot recommend her enough. If your reading through other doula and trying to figure out if she is the one for you, consider this your sign 🤍 you will be loved beyond measure and taken care of with so much kindness, empathy and grace. She truly made the birth of our second baby boy so peaceful and was an enormous help to my husband as well 🤍

Hello sweet friends. I have had the honor of doing birth doula work for the past 6 years and I’ve come to understand and believe a few things. I believe that birth is given to us to help us discover what we are capable of and can impact us for the rest of our lives. As you embark on this adventure we call parenthood, whether it’s the first time or the fifth, your birth has the power to fertilize seeds of confidence or seeds of doubt. I want to remind you that this is YOUR birth, YOUR body, and YOUR baby. You deserve to have a birth team that sees and hears YOU and what YOU need to walk confidently through your labor and into parenthood.
