About me

Hello everyone my name is Tasha Nelson and I am a Christian doula! I have been working as a newborn care specialist since 2011. I fell in love with the opportunity to support families during one of the most extraordinary but exhausting times in their lives. Working as a newborn care specialist allows me the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of families. I enjoy supporting new parents during a crucial life stage and find immense fulfillment in positively impacting the well-being of both the baby and the family through specialized care, including feeding, sleep routines, and overall development guidance during the early months of life. I have worked with many infants, including premature infants and twins. I have supported mothers with breastfeeding, from milk storage, supply issues, latching problems, and more. I have also helped families who want to use formulas by providing my knowledge and support with brands and looking out for milk intolerances and digestion issues. I am knowledgeable about colicky infants, tongue ties, reflexes, cradle caps, oxygen machines, and more. I love helping families set up their nurseries to help create a safe sleep environment conducive to fostering healthy sleep habits from night one. I am open to helping families in any way I can, including bottle washing, sanitizing, and keeping the infant areas clean and organized. I am comfortable working with hands-on parents and completely taking over with the infant, doing whatever I can to offer the most support. I have worked with many different families, and I love to be able to come in and uniquely tailor my support to each family, background, beliefs, and lifestyle. I can be an educator and friend while providing guidance and support to help families feel more confident in their abilities and skills. Being able to do this job is my passion, and I feel blessed.
