Teshia Pasley - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Teshia

My name is Teshia, I am a DONA certified birth doula, PAIL advocate, Childhood educator, and nanny. As a faith-based doula, my approach to birth work is rooted in compassion, faith, and the belief that every birth is scared and should be a precious experience. I am an advocate of bringing faith, natural and traditional birth methods to mothers from the high risks population to black minorities. I am walking in my purpose to support and hold space for all mothers (inclusively) during pregnancy, birth, postpartum phase, and beyond. It is in my purpose to walk alongside my clients offering not only physical and emotional support, and resources, but also spiritual comfort with a sense of peace. I am experienced in hospital, home, and cesarean births. We will cover the "stages of labor," build the ideal birth plan, and encourage informed consent in any decision-making moment. I love creating the environment that would set the tone for any occasion, whether it be breastfeeding, relaxation, bonding time, or self-care spaces. I look forward to supporting you and your family😇

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Teshia during my pregnancy, birth and afterwards and I can't recommend her highly enough. As a first time mom, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. From our first meeting, Teshia put me at ease with her warmth, knowledge, and clam presence. She took the time to understand my birth preferences, answer questions (and I had a lot) and support both me and my partner through every stage. Her support made a huge difference in helping me feel empowered, in control and equipped with the right information to make decisions. If you are looking for a doula who is compassionate, spiritual, reliable and deeply committed to your well-being and baby, Teshia is amazing to work with.

Testing is an amazing doula and supportive person. She has been my doula for all 3 births and is patient, compassionate, and dedicated. During the process, I struggles emotionally and she was always capable of encouraging me to believe in myself and my body. With her love and support, the birthing process became easier. She also supported and advocated for me at doctor appointments, found community support when needed, and overall showed up when I needed her. So many wonderful things I can say, she is the best doula ever.

Having Auntie Tedie involved in both of my births was one of the best decisions I made. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to her clients. I’m forever grateful for her presence during such pivotal moments in my life. For my first birth, she helped me stay grounded and focused throughout a long labor, offering comfort measures like massage, breathing guidance, and emotional encouragement, however, I decided on a cesarean birth. She worked seamlessly with the medical team, creating a peaceful and empowering environment. My second birth was quite different—faster and more intense—and Auntie Tedie adapted effortlessly. She anticipated my needs, helped with positioning, and was instrumental in helping me feel safe and in control throughout the process. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions

How do you support partners during birth?

As your doula, I will implement the importance of both you and your partner’s needs during labor and provide guidance, comfort, and reassurance to you both.

How do you handle situations where the birth is not going as planned or if medical interventions become necessary?

As your doula, I will be flexible and have a calm approach, and remain supportive regardless of how the birth progresses, whether it’s a smooth, unmedicated birth or one involving medical interventions.
