About Telisha

Hello! My name is Telisha Woodfin, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Doula, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and the founder of LIVLoved Family Support. Through LIVLoved, I provide postpartum doula care, virtual coaching, and infant massage education to families from birth through age five. With more than 20 years of experience supporting children and families in early intervention, mental health, and developmental disabilities, I believe every family deserves support that feels safe, compassionate, and aligned with their unique values and needs. My approach is relationship-based, trauma-informed, and focused on helping parents build confidence, connection, and calm during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting. I am especially passionate about supporting families navigating NICU experiences, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, medically complex journeys, multiples, sibling transitions, and perinatal or infant loss. When I'm not working with families, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, spending time with family, friends, and godchildren, and exploring my newfound love of gardening. My guiding mantra is simple: Give love. Receive love. Live loved. Learn more at www.livloved.com.

Having Telisha as my husband and I doula for our first child was nothing short of AMAZING! Her knowledge and attention to details gave our family such an amazing peace about being new parents! Her service, promptness, and compassion were everything we wanted when looking for a doula! My Husband and I already informed Telisha that when we have our second child to be ready...lol! Telisha has a true gift and calling, which I honestly believe shows in how passionate she is in assisting parents on this breathtaking journey. ♥

Sometimes you just don't know what you need until it's been given to you. I am a 42 yr old working mother of 3; a set of 3 yr old twin girls and a 10mos old son. The twins came first. While it was very exciting, it was also very overwhelming at times. Telisha Woodfin came alongside me offering support in the form of meal prep, emotional support, referral advice and guidance and infant massage. She was there, not only during my pregnancy, but following delivery and in the most relevant of ways that i would not have known to ask being a new mom.....she just knew lol! If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, honest and sensitive to your needs.....she's the one for sure. Thank you so much Telisha for being there for me during both of my pregnancies. My family and I appreciate all you do and have done to support us.
