Hi, I’m Tenia, and I’m stepping into the sacred role of a doula. My journey in holistic healing, Reiki, life coaching and maternal wellness has led me to this work. I’m passionate about supporting mothers emotionally, physically, and mentally through their pregnancy and birth experiences. My focus is on intuitive, holistic care, blending mindfulness and traditional doula practices to nurture and empower moms during this transformative time. My greatest teachers are my three beautiful daughters. They inspire me every day to create a healthy, holistic, and happy home—one rooted in nature’s wisdom, balance, and deep self-trust. I'm excited to get to support and learn more about you and your family as you navigate this wonderful and empowering journey.

Tenia was our doula during my first pregnancy. We couldn't have asked for a better person to have in our corner. She was very informative and was with us throughout the whole experience. Tenia did a great job with providing resources and Education as needed while allowing us to make our own decisions. She was not only there for me, but also my partner. She was there supporting and guiding both of us throughout the birthing and postpartum. Her approach was genuine and effective. Throughout my pregnancy she provided resources on how to manage morning sickness, provided pelvic floor workouts, and educated me in ways to get baby in the right position for birth. We were very lucky to have had her expertise as first time parents! Thank you Tenia for going above and beyond our expectations!

I've been married for more than 26 years, and my greatest joy in life is being a mom to my three wonderful children. When I'm not spending time with my family, you'll most likely find me cooking for the people I love, curled up with a good book, going for a run or walk (on a good day!), or finding ways to encourage and support young families. Home-cooked meals and great big hugs are definitely my love languages or at least the way I most naturally show people they're cared for. I've always been a "baby person." For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of working with children and families in one way or another. But it wasn't until I became a mother myself that my heart truly opened to what new parents experience. I remember so clearly what those early days felt like, the questions, the exhaustion, the joy, and the tenderness of it all. That experience grew my love for babies into a deep compassion for moms and dads as they navigate the beautiful and often overwhelming transition into parenthood. For more than eight years, I've had the joy and honor of serving families as a birth doula, and for over seven years as a postpartum doula. I'm also a Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula and a pediatric sleep consultant, which allows me to support families not only through birth but throughout those precious early weeks and months when everything feels so new.

If you would have told me two weeks ago that my little boy would be sleeping independently tonight, I dont think I would have believed it. We were doing all the things that are antithetical to independent sleep - bedsharing, nursing to sleep, contact napping. Initially, sleep training sounded like this impossible hurdle. Around 5 months, it became clear that my son wasn't getting the sleep he needed. His naps were short and it was so hard to get him to sleep, even with all the aids we were giving him. My sweet, cuddly contact naps had quickly changed from relaxing to exhausting for both me and my baby. My mom recommended that I reach out to Tonya and thank goodness that I did!! She answered right away and put a plan and some tips together for us within just a couple of days. She gave us some strategies that we could try and helped us choose which one was right for us. When the day came to sleep train, she was so responsive and supportive. With her encouragement, we made it through the first (very difficult) night. After that first night, things completely changed for us. With Tonyas continued guidance, we were able to get my son not only night trained, but nap trained as well. All in less than two weeks! Sleep training has been so difficult but beyond rewarding. I also know without a doubt that it would have been so much harder without Tonyas wisdom and guidance. If you need assistance with your little ones sleep, I highly (HIGHLY) recommend reaching out! She is so attentive, so caring, and so supportive of whatever is right for your family.

I'm a certified birth doula and perinatal patient advocate serving the McHenry County area and surrounding counties. I believe birth is natural and that no matter where you're birthing, with preparation and support, you can create and environment for a physiological birth! I'm dedicated to empowering mothers through physiological labor, and uplifting couples with faith-filled, personalized continuous care. I value communication, fully informed consent, and personalized, focused support. When you choose me for your doula, I'm 100% yours. I work exclusively with one client at a time.

Annette Yen served as a doula for both of my pregnancies. She had several conversations with me leading up to labor and delivery to understand my medical history, the nature of my pregnancies, and any fears or concerns I had along the way. Annette was able to provide me with encouragement as well as practical support through resources and studies on questions I had. My youngest daughter flipped between breech and cephalic positions several times to where she was breech the week leading up to her due date. Annette provided me with much needed encouragement during this stressful time. She also did exercises with me, provided me with guidance and resources, and lent me tools to help with getting baby to turn. I am happy to say that my baby had flipped just in time for delivery!! Once I called Annette to tell her I was heading in to the hospital, she dropped everything and was promptly in the labor and delivery room with me. During labor, she guided my husband and mom in ways to assist me in pain management and she empowered me to listen to my instincts. Annette also made sure my wishes for delayed cord cutting and immediate skin-to-skin time were carried out which allowed me and my family to fully embrace the moment of our daughter’s birth. Annette is a wonderful, caring person with an excellent bedside manner and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a doula.

Hi! My name is Shauna and I am a DONA International Certified Birth Doula, as well as a Bradley Method® Provisional Affiliate Instructor located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. It is truly an honor to support growing families that are giving birth in home, birth center and hospital settings. I transitioned to doula work in 2024 after spending five years clinically in the obstetrics and gynecology field. What I learned is - all women deserve not only to be supported and have the right to birth as they want, whatever that looks like for them, but they should also have access to information - not just from their chosen provider, but evidence based information to assist them in making decisions regarding their body, their baby and their labor/birth experience. I believe women's bodies are remarkable and amazing. As a mom of three myself, I know first hand the power a woman's body has, from growing a baby, to giving birth to that baby, and then to be able to provide nourishment to that baby. In 2025, I completed rigorous training with The Bradley Method® and became a provisional affiliate instructor. I teach Bradley Method childbirth classes in Lakewood, IL. Now in 2026, I am completing my Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) education through the ALPP, and will be a CLC by the end of the year. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks with my husband and our two dogs. I also enjoy reading and staying up-to-date on all things pregnancy, birth and lactation related.

Shauna was absolutely extraordinary in our experience with child birth. A few words that come to mind for her are, professionalism, honesty and integrity. Every step of the way, she was with us as we brought our little girl into the world and laid a foundation that made everything we thought we knew and that we didn’t that much easier to understand. Shauna is the epitome of what it means to be a doula, as a father I can say she showed superior support to my wife and gave her the confidence for an all natural birth. We thank Shauna day in and day out for her help, let her do the same for you!

Hi, I'm Evelyn – a mama to two beautiful kids, a nature lover, and an advocate for women. While I didn’t plan to become a doula or childbirth educator, I now know that it’s my true calling. Growing up in a close-knit Mexican household, I was always drawn to community and mentorship, especially for girls. After earning my degrees in psychology and Spanish, I worked with survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. Becoming a mom ignited my deep curiosity about pregnancy and birth. I became fascinated by the process, eager to learn everything about labor and advocate for my own birth experience. After having profoundly empowering births, I realized that every woman deserves a birth that is powerful and free from trauma. This curiosity soon grew into a passion for supporting other women in my community. In my journey as a home visitor, working with Spanish-speaking moms, I saw firsthand the lack of resources and perinatal education available to them. It fueled my desire to help these women advocate for themselves, find their voice, and feel empowered in their birth experiences. After the birth of my daughter, I took a step back to reflect on my passions, and that’s when I discovered the amazing combination of doula and childbirth educator. And so, La Vid was born – a community for mothers to feel rooted and empowered, from pregnancy through motherhood. I believe in the strength and connection of women, and my mission is to empower you through your entire journey, so you never have to walk alone.

One of the things that I loved the most was that Evelyn offered online birthing classes on Saturdays. This was my 3rd pregnancy and I had never attended any birthing class. Knowing what to expect for birth, I was amazed at how much she goes over in her classes that the content is real and raw. Before my birth she set time to get to know my birth stories, know me, and discuss her role as my doula. I really appreciated that she listened without any judgement. Evelyn always listened to my concerns and actually validated them. In the last weeks of pregnancy, she would check on me and give me tips to be ready for when it was time to head to the hospital. Her words and knowledge would always calm my nerves and anxiety. During my birth, she was ready to help me voice out my needs and was not afraid to roll up her sleeves to help. She provides so many words of affirmation and was part of my successful birth. I would definitely recommend Evelyn to any mom looking for a doula. She is also so kind, humble, and really knows what it takes for a mama to birth.

After my daughter was born and I was so just overwhelmed home alone. My Ex Husband was working and I called her to talk and she ending up coming over to just sit with me and just talk to me. It got my mind off of having a toddler and a newborn and she was just there with me I am pretty sure we didn't even speak for a while. The highlight of it was that I know deep down part of her was worried about the postpartum depression, but she didn’t point out, didn’t rub it in my face and tell me like oh somethings wrong with you and I was scared that’s why I’m here with you. No, she just came over just to be with me and made sure I was ok. And just with that I felt that much more less alone. There are so many other ways she has shown up for me in the 10+ years I have known her. I didn’t have to verbatimly ask her to, she just shows up whether it’s in form of words of affirmation whether it’s physically showing up for me she's just you’re there.

I’ve spent over a decade as a labor and delivery nurse inside hospital walls—standing beside women as monitors beeped, doctors rushed, and plans changed in an instant. But the moments that stuck with me weren’t just the medical ones. They were the moments when a woman felt completely alone—even with a room full of people. When she nodded through the doctor’s explanation but cried later because she didn’t understand what any of it meant for her and her baby. When she whispered, “I just want to enjoy this… but I don’t even know how anymore.” That’s why I created Hakuna Matata Mamas. To offer the kind of support I knew was missing: the kind that holds your hand through the hard, teaches you how to cope with the unknown, and reminds you that you still get to have a story you’re proud to share. I work with high-risk mamas who feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under them—who are doing their best to stay strong, but secretly just want someone to see behind the brave face. Through personalized hospital prep, nervous system tools, and real, compassionate guidance, I help you feel courageous and connected—so when the big day comes, it’s not just something you “get through.” It’s the best day of your life. Even if it didn’t go according to plan. Because how you feel during your birth matters. And you deserve to feel safe, supported, and sure of yourself—every step of the way.

Cassandra is extremely dedicated to her work and focused on putting her patients first. She is very knowledgeable about pregnancy and the birthing process and is the perfect person to have in your corner to help you feel prepared for the journey. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she really makes sure to consider all options with you to find the best fit. Every time I talk to her I feel more calm and prepared for my upcoming birth. I don't know what I would do without her!

As an L&D nurse who has encountered multiple doulas through my job, I can tell you Susan is the real deal. I hired her for my own birth hoping to go unmedicated and I not only achieved that but had the water birth of my dreams. Susan was in contact for every fear that arose before labor and advocated for me throughout my birth so I could stay in my zone. She creates a space that feels safe both in and out of the delivery room. She preps you both physically and emotionally for optimal labor progression. Hire her, you won’t regret it!

Sarah was such an amazing person to have on our birth team! Sarah made me feel so comfortable and confident going into my birth. It gave me peace of mind knowing that I had someone there who had my back and knew what I was looking for in my birth. Sarah is knowledgeable, very friendly, and made me feel seen both before, during, and after delivery. I think my husband benefited from having Sarah there just as much as I did. He says that she was extremely helpful and allowed him to focus on comforting me. She also helped keep tabs on him and suggested he lie down next to me so that he didn't pass out from exhaustion. It has been 8 months now and he still tells our friends that having Sarah there was the best decision we could have made for our first birth. I have already recommended Sarah to many of my friends and will continue to!

— Delaney C., review of Sarah Viglia September 2026

Laurice was a wonderful addition to my birth team. We decided on a hospital low-intervention birth and Laurice helped us every step of the way! Pre-labor, she helped answer all our questions and provided us with wonderful resources. She helped us put all our ideas about the birth into a concrete plan so we could share it with the medical team. During our labor she created the exact environment that helped me stay focused and relaxed during the hard parts of my labor. Laurice and my husband applied everything we had practiced at our home meetings before the big day from squeezes in the right places to phrases that kept me motivated. After our labor, we got to see the beautiful pictures she had taken, and I'm so thankful she documented the beautiful bonding moments. I rave to all my friends about Laurice and how she reassured me every step of the way. If you are looking to have a wonderful birth experience, Laurice will be the best addition!

I am so grateful for my doula Jasmine Kimbrough and all the support she has given me throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. She was there for me during active labor, encouraged me, and taught me helpful techniques that made me feel more comfortable and supported. She also checked in on me before and after birth, shared so many helpful resources, and continued to care for me even after my baby was born. She has even gone out of her way to drop off diapers and wipes for us, which meant so much to me. She is truly kind, caring, dependable, and compassionate. I felt very supported and cared for during such an important time in my life. I would highly recommend her to any mom looking for a wonderful doula. 💕🥹
