Peace! Birth, magnanimous as it is, is one moment that comes after months of mental and spiritual preparation. It is the intention, the mission, if you will, of Soulcology of Birth to provide more than childbirth education. I will journey alongside these burgeoning Mamas as a sister (and as I grow, auntie, Mama, GrandMother). I will help them unpack their family history, to heal, to break generational cycles of dysfunction. Soulcology of Birth is centered on the sanctity of created Life with a focus on growing Love.

La historia de mi emprendimiento comenzó con mi propia maternidad. A mis veintitantos tuve a mis hijas, y la gran diferencia fue el respaldo de mi familia: Mujeres que me sostuvieron y Hombres que me protegieron. Ese acompañamiento transformó mi experiencia y me enseñó que maternar no debería vivirse nunca en aislamiento. Años después, emigré. Como migrante, descubrí lo opuesto: la soledad de las familias hispanas que gestan y crían lejos de casa. Sin tribu, sin idioma común, en un sistema de salud eficiente pero impersonal. Esa realidad me llevó a un 'ajá' interior: Mi vocación era crear para otras lo que yo había recibido: Un NIDO de confianza, cuidado y resiliencia. Ofrezco programas que integran mi formación como doula, educadora perinatal y especialista en procesos de indagación personal. Lo que hace única esta propuesta es la capacidad de tender puentes: entre lo médico y lo humano, entre la cultura de origen y la de acogida, entre la soledad y la comunidad. Acompaño a las familias para que vivan la maternidad con confianza y resiliencia, y en ese proceso contribuyo a sembrar generaciones más empáticas y comunidades más cohesionadas.

Hi! I'm Tamiko. I'm the Advanced Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Postpartum Doula, and Sleep Expert for exhausted parents who want their babies to sleep all night so they can feel like themselves again. I help moms enjoy motherhood and have time for themselves once the baby is down for the night. Dads have reported waking energized with a new pep in their step after implementing my strategies. Since 2008, I've worked 24/7, rotational shifts for families who value privacy and discretion. I understand the unique needs of these families and the great finesse required to succeed in these positions. I enjoy working with families from all backgrounds and providing them with both daytime and overnight support as they transition into parenthood. I've helped over 1000 families (both online and in-person) gently teach their little ones to sleep. I also have lots of experience working with medically fragile babies (i.e. N/GJ/J tubes, sleep apnea, GERD, SGA, cardiac issues, etc.). In my free time, I enjoy baking delicious gluten-free desserts and hanging out with my sweet nephews. If you're looking for an experienced Doula or Newborn Care Specialist who's calm, a joy to be around, and goes with the flow, let's connect. I'm so excited to meet you and learn more about your family.

We hired Tamiko so she could support us right when we got home. It was really in the beginning more about me getting sleep because I was recovering from a C-section and just really needed to rest and recover. And it was really, really crucial having Tamiko there in those early days right after we got back from the hospital to get the most sleep. With Tamiko's help, our daughter started at about six weeks just skipping, her two 3:00 AM feeding and she sleeps between 10 and 12 hours in a stretch every night now, so at two months. She helped create a plan so I can breastfeed and still get rest at night. Tamiko is easygoing and easy to get along with and it's nice having her around.

My name is Laporcha Foster most people call me LaLa. I am from Houston, Texas and I am a mother to 4 beautiful souls (3 girls and 1 boy). I am a traveling birth/postpartum doula who is also an end of life doula (helping others transition over to the after life). I became a doula after realizing nursing school wasn’t for me. I wanted to be a L&D nurse then a Nurse Practitioner so I could deliver babies. One day I was talking to my spiritual coach who told me my ancestors told her I was a medicine healing lady, and my life purpose was to be a midwife. I never thought to be one even though I heard so many people talked about having midwives and doula when I was pregnant with my son. I decided to do some research and I fell in love with the results and became a certified trained birth/postpartum doula through Madriella Doula Network. Being other women and families support system is my top priority. Rather it’s in a home, birthing center, or hospital I’m there! I am now attending a midwifery program at Midwives College of Utah (MCU) and trusting the process of this new journey. I look forward to meeting with you and vibing off good and positive energy. Peace and blessings!

Having Ms.Foster as my doula was truly life changing and amazing. She became my sister overnight literally; she came in with so much love, kindness and joy for what she's set out to do. Her light coming in helped me TRULY calm down and start enjoying my pregnancy experience. I truly recommend any and everyone to definitely have Ms. Foster for their doula.

I am a birth and postpartum doula, NICU mom, and a military wife, whose passion for this work was shaped by my own early motherhood experience. I had my first baby halfway across the country during COVID, farm from family and community. That season taught me how powerful it is to feel truly supported, and it became the foundation for the way I show up for other families. I have had the honor of supporting friends and families through both home births and hospital births, and I love walking alongside parents through the many different paths birth birth can take, with a professional foundation in Kinesiology, I understand deeply how the body functions in pregnancy and birth, and how movement and positioning support physiological labor and how to help reduce strain and injury during this transformative process. I blend evidence based education with holistic, intuitive care to offer support that is both grounded and nurturing. At the heart of my work is a simple intention. I show up for mothers the way I would want someone to show up for my daughter one day. With warmth, compassion, and a steady presence, my hope is that every family I support feels seen, held, and never alone as they step into parenthood.

Highly recommend hiring Courtney as your doula. Our doula we initially hired had an emergency so we ended up having Courtney as our backup doula and she did not disappoint! We were a little nervous having a backup doula and somebody we’ve never met but Courtney was so personable, very easy going and very much was prepared for our birth plan and things we discussed with our doula prior to going into labor. Courtney was very encouraging, supportive and really helped my husband and I during such an intense and vulnerable experience. Thank you Courtney for what you do! It’s very clear that she loves what she does and it translates into working with her clients.

I am a Spirit Baby Medicine Woman, Psychic, Mentor, and a Energy Healer. I have sat with many women and people holding space for them on their pregnancies and relationship with pregnancy. Pregnancy is sacred. It is a process of birth and co-creation each time. Co-creating with your spirit baby, your partner, your children, grandparents, and beyond. Many systems were not created to support women, even more were not created inclusive of people of color. Throughout working in Maternal Health for some years, my desire for a family catapulted me into a deep journey with my spirit babies. A safe and nurturing pregnancy where your needs are listened to and respected is your birthright. My experience of working with spirit babies and their families comes with emotional and spiritual energy work that supports families through prenatal, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My work is designed around supporting spirit babies and their families, and spirit babies desire to connect with their parents before, during and after birth. This helps you to learn more about your spirit baby and yourself in the process through the lense of your spirit baby who loves you unconditionally. Spirit babies choose their parents as their parents choose them and they can get pregnant even after choosing not to get pregnant, or having experienced multiple attempts at pregnancy and the experience not ending in a child. It's a beautiful process of learning with your spirit baby who is both guiding and being guided by you, your partner, and others the spirit baby has chosen to help support your pregnancy with them. This is the process even when you may not have met your partner yet. It's an incredibly intimate and vulnerable process even as pregnancy is already one, a spirit baby amplifies that as they are different from those that aren't, and the desire for connection and love with their parents comes quicker and before pregnancy. Those who are drawn to my work likely have a spirit baby connection, whether mom, dad, other family members or friends. Connecting with your spirit baby helps you learn more about the little one you're birthing and challenges that may come up, as well as how to prepare for their arrival in a way that feels good for you and them. Spirit babies are often thought to be only an unborn child but they're a sensitive and highly empathic child with gifts and sensitivities that are active well after birth and can be the reason many children don't take well to being birthed in certain environments, to certain foods, being around certain people or energy, or don't feel they're loved or seen. They aren't just babies, they are wise souls with mountains of wisdom they wish to share. A child is a spirit baby after birth and into adult life. Working with spirit babies is also restarting the process of loving the self, and intuition, and listening to one's self, in each moment. I look forward to supporting your spirit baby, you, and your family.

She has been on her own beautiful journey with her spirit babies as well so I believe has a world of experience on a deeper level . I truly believe she offers such incredible information from our spirit babies & her intuition for our growth. She really has a gift when it comes to this work ❤️
