I am a birth doula and herbalist who supports women and families through pregnancy, labor and early motherhood with steady, hands-on care.

Hi, I'm Corina - midwife, mother, and matrescence facilitator. For over 30 years, I’ve held sacred space for women at their most raw and powerful moments—guiding them through the threshold of childbirth and into the postpartum period as a midwife. As a single mother of three and a purpose-driven entrepreneur, I know intimately the ache of trying to hold it all together while slowly losing touch with myself. After the birth of my third daughter, I was brought to my knees by the depths of postpartum depression and anxiety. I turned to the very tools I now teach—embodiment, feminine power, and the transformational map of matrescence—to reclaim my life from burnout and disconnection. Today, as a midwife and transformational facilitator, I support mothers in doing the same: coming home to themselves, reigniting their passion, and stepping fully into the powerful, integrated women they were born to be—at home, in business, and in the world.

Hi friends! Tara Frigaard here as a new doula, fresh out of her training at the HBI academy. I am continuing to work as an L&D nurse while I slowly work towards completing my certification.

My name is De’ Asia Ford, and I am a passionate mother, postpartum doula, and healthcare professional with a deep commitment to supporting women and families through some of life’s most transformative moments. My personal experiences as a mother, combined with my professional background in caregiving and my passion for maternal and family wellness, have shaped my desire to create safe, compassionate, and empowering spaces for new and growing families. Sacred Steps Doula Care was created from my belief that every mother deserves to feel supported, heard, respected, and cared for throughout her postpartum journey. My philosophy is rooted in nurturing the whole person, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, while honoring each family’s unique needs, values, traditions, and parenting choices. I believe postpartum support is not about telling a mother how to parent; it is about walking beside her, providing encouragement, practical support, education, reassurance, and a judgment free presence as she finds her confidence in motherhood. Through Sacred Steps Doula Care, my goal is to help families transition into parenthood with greater peace, confidence, and a sense of connection, reminding every mother that she does not have to take this sacred step alone.
