I can’t say enough wonderful things about Taniqua, our postpartum doula (and now, friend), who was a true beacon of support during one of the most transformative times in our lives. From the moment she stepped into our home, it was clear that her expertise and passion for her work were unparalleled. Taniqua’s extensive knowledge was evident in every interaction. She didn’t just care for our newborn with exceptional skill; she took the time to share her insights and experiences with both me and my husband. Whether it was tips on newborn care, feeding support, or just navigating parenthood, her guidance was both practical and reassuring. What truly stood out was how Taniqua made us feel—supported, informed, and empowered. Her presence was a comforting reminder that we weren’t alone in this journey. She was always ready with answers to our questions and offered valuable advice that made a world of difference in our day-to-day lives. We are incredibly grateful for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough to any parents. Thank you, Taniqua, for everything you did for us during this special time!

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!

Hi, my name is Nina Myers and I am a birth and postpartum doula. My goal is for you to have a positive birth experience, no matter the outcome. Twenty years ago, I worked in Labor and Delivery as a nursing assistant and fell in love with births. I was also a nanny to twins and absolutely love the baby stage. Becoming a birth and postpartum doula was the perfect combination for me. In my free time, you can find me working one of my other businesses (photographer and farmer), scrapbooking with friends, or chilling out in my recliner binge watching crime or medical shows.

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.

My newborn care philosophy focuses on delivering comprehensive and compassionate support to both newborns and parents. My primary aim is to foster a nurturing environment where families feel empowered to excel in their new roles. Ultimately, my approach provides personalized, educational, and non-judgmental guidance, emphasizing safety, emotional stability, and collaborative relationships.

Recent review

Erica was an absolute lifesaver during the first six weeks of both of my children's births. As a newborn care specialist, she didn’t just help with the day-to-day care of the babies; she also educated me as a new mother, easing my anxieties in those overwhelming early days. She taught me everything from proper swaddling techniques to understanding my babies’ feeding cues and sleep patterns, all while being incredibly patient and reassuring. What stood out most was her ability to tune into my needs as a new mom. She recognized when I needed rest, emotional support, or just a little confidence boost. Erica’s approach was gentle and non-judgmental, creating a safe space for me to ask questions and learn at my own pace. Her presence helped me feel empowered, and her guidance has continued to influence the way I care for my children. I truly can’t recommend Erica enough for any new parent. Erica quickly became more than just a newborn care specialist; she is now considered family. Her warmth, expertise, and unwavering support made those early weeks so much easier, and we couldn't imagine those moments without her. If my husband and I were to have more children, we would undoubtedly want Erica's help again. She brought so much peace of mind to our lives, and her influence continues to guide how we parent today.

Haiii, my name is Fantasia Hernandez, and I am a new postpartum doula! At 25 years old, I have recently stepped into this role professionally, but in many ways, I have been doing this work for years. Growing up surrounded by women and families welcoming new babies into the world, I naturally found myself helping out, offering support, caring for newborns, and being a calm, steady presence during those early and tender weeks. I just did not realize there was a name for what I was doing. Becoming a postpartum doula feels like coming home. I have always been drawn to nurturing others, especially new mothers navigating the intensity, beauty, and vulnerability of the postpartum period. I believe every family deserves gentle, informed, and nonjudgmental support after birth, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. Whether it is holding the baby so a parent can rest, helping establish a feeding rhythm, or just being someone who listens, I am here to make the transition into parenthood a little softer.
