Before starting Parenting Couture, I spent over 15 years as a Postpartum and Pediatric nurse for Inova Fairfax and a local pediatrician supporting families through every stage of parenting; from birth to the teenage years. I found there wasn’t only a need but a high demand for services to help navigate the many challenges and unknowns that come with parenting. As a mom of four boys, I understand the many aspects of parenthood, and more importantly, I know parenting isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Each service is custom-tailored to fit your individual parenting style and needs.

Founder of The Momager Co. Definition: Momager: /mAH-mUH-JeRR Noun: Somebody who Manages the needs of a new or soon to be parent supporting them through fertility, pregnancy, birth, parenthood and everything in between. Hello everyone. My name is Taja Iglesias but you can call me Tay. I am a mother, full spectrum doula, doula trainer, lactation professional, placenta practitioner and soon-to-be midwife! My career supporting families in all capacities of parenthood led me to becoming the founder of The Momager Co. - a doula & parenting support agency. Experiencing disparities as an Afro-Latinx LGBTQ parent and walking with many families going through similar challenges with little to no access to support, led me to expanding The Monager Co and adding in our non profit - The Momager Collective: sister company to The Momager Co specifically serving low-income parents and families of underrepresented communities like the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ families. When it comes to caring for clients, our Momagers provide bespoke care that is tailored to your needs. We meet you where you are mentally and emotionally, in order to best educate, prepare and support you for the journey to come. We're here for you and excited to be a part of your story!

Hello and congrats! I'm Gina Valo, a certified labor doula (Childbirth International and ProDoula) and the founder of BirthingKind.

I am a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Educator & Perinatal Health Specialist, who comes from a powerful lineage of healers, birth workers, and medicine women. For over 10 years as a doula, educator, and health and wellness provider, I have provided support and continuity of care to women and families from preconception through childbirth, postpartum, and beyond.

One of our therapeutic specializations is in the area of support for the multi-stages of growing your family. If you've decided to have children and are having a tough time with conception, pregnancy, parenting, or are experiencing baby blues, postpartum depression/anxiety, you've come to the right place - we can help.

My practice is inspired by the idea of radical liberation and justice. I center my service around centering marginalized identities and accepting whoever is open to sharing their journey with me. Entering the birth space with intention of radical joy, agency, and empowerment is what drives and motivates me as a birth worker. With these values in mind, I seek to offer care that embodies an environment of acceptance, affirmation, and protection from hate.

I have several postpartum packages I offer, so that you can find the right fit for you and your family.
