Tamika Mapp - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Tamika

Whether you're preparing to meet your baby, grieving one, or still carrying a birth that didn't go the way you hoped, you shouldn't have to do it alone. I'm Tamika Mapp (she/her), founder of Kindroot Doula Collective. I'm a birth and bereavement doula, Army veteran, and longtime community advocate. I've walked with more than 20 families through birth, postpartum, and loss, and I take a limited number of clients so no one gets a fraction of my attention. Kindroot was built to be more than a service. It's a safe, sacred space where your voice matters, your experiences are honored, and your choices are supported, without judgment. How I support you: Birth — prenatal visits, continuous labor support, partner guidance. Postpartum — recovery check-ins, feeding support, processing your birth story. Bereavement & loss — presence during loss, memory-making, ongoing grief companionship. Serving Tulsa, OK and virtual clients nationwide A lot of support ends when the moment does. Mine doesn't. From first breath to final goodbye, I'm here to walk alongside you, holding space and honoring your story every step of the way. Ready when you are. Book a free consultation. No pressure, just a conversation about what you're facing and whether I'm the right fit for you. 👉 https://app.swishvo.com/profile/tamika-mapp Not quite ready?

Working with Tamika and Kindroot Doula Collective made such a meaningful difference during my birth and postpartum experience. From the beginning, Tamika made me feel heard, respected, and supported. She took the time to understand what I wanted for my birth while also helping me feel prepared for the unexpected. During labor, Tamika brought a calm and reassuring presence into the room. She helped me stay grounded, reminded me of my options, supported my partner, and made sure I never felt alone or overwhelmed. She did not take over my experience—she helped me feel confident using my own voice. What stood out most was that her care did not end after the baby was born. During postpartum, Tamika continued checking on me as a whole person, not only as a new mother. She made space for my emotions, encouraged me to rest, helped me think through what support I needed, and reminded me that accepting help did not mean I was failing. Tamika’s care is compassionate, practical, and deeply personal. She truly understands that families need support before, during, and after birth. I would recommend Kindroot Doula Collective to any parent looking for a doula who will listen without judgment, advocate with care, and remain present through every part of the journey.

She was truly a blessing during my pregnancy and birth. From the moment we met, she filled me with positive affirmations that helped me feel calm and confident—especially while I was giving birth. This was the easiest birth I’ve ever had, thanks to the exercises she taught me before labor started. She also gave me helpful resources to keep me and my family safe. And I absolutely love the nourishing recipes she shared for my postpartum recovery—they made me feel cared for and supported.

Frequently asked questions

When should I hire a doula

We recommend hiring your doula during your second trimester to ensure availability and allow time to build a strong, supportive relationship before birth. That said, you’re always welcome to reach out at any stage of your journey. Whether you’re later in pregnancy, navigating postpartum, or seeking support after a loss—care is available when you need it most. At Kindroot Doula Collective, support doesn’t have a deadline. You don’t have to go through this alon

What if I’m not sure what kind of support I need?

That’s completely okay—you don’t have to have it all figured out. Many families come in unsure of what they need, and that’s exactly what I’m here for. During our consultation, we’ll talk through your experience, your concerns, and what support would feel most helpful for you. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or just feeling overwhelmed, we’ll create a plan that meets you where you are. At Kindroot Doula Collective, support is personalized—because every family’s journey is different

Do you offer payment plans or sliding scale options?

Yes—payment plans are available for all services. I believe support should be accessible, not overwhelming. We can break your investment into manageable payments that fit your timeline, whether you’re booking birth, postpartum, or first-year support. A limited number of sliding scale spots may be available based on need. If cost is a concern, I encourage you to still reach out—we can talk through your options together. You deserve support, and we’ll do our best to make it work

What does a doula actually do?

A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I’m there to help you feel prepared, supported, and confident—whether that’s through birth planning, comfort techniques during labor, or guidance once your baby arrives. My role is not medical, but I work alongside your care team to make sure you feel heard, informed, and supported every step of the way.

Will you replace my partner or support person?

Not at all—your partner is an important part of your experience. I support both of you. I help guide your partner so they feel confident in how to support you, while also making sure you have continuous care throughout your labor and postpartum journey.

Do you support hospital, home, and birth center births?

Yes I support births in hospitals, birth centers, and home settings. My goal is to meet you where you are and support the kind of birth experience you’re hoping for.

What does first-year support include?

First-year support means you’re not left alone after those early postpartum weeks. You’ll have ongoing check-ins, guidance, and support as your baby grows—whether you have questions about feeding, sleep, routines, or just need reassurance. Because support doesn’t stop at 6 weeks… and neither do your needs.

Is postpartum care included in birth packages?

Birth packages include initial postpartum visits and ongoing guidance. Hands-on, in-home postpartum care (daytime or overnight support) is available separately for families who want additional help during the early weeks and beyond.

Do you accept insurance?

Some insurance plans (including SoonerCare or select private plans) may offer coverage or reimbursement for doula services. I can help guide you through what to ask your provider and provide documentation if needed.

What if things don’t go as planned during my birth?

Birth can be unpredictable, and that’s okay. My role is to support you no matter how your birth unfolds—whether things go according to plan or shift along the way. You’ll have someone there to help you process decisions, feel grounded, and supported through it all.
