If you have any questions, please send me a message!

When you think of Sam the first thing you think of is support, encouragement, and loyalty. I was 18 when Sam came into my life with a 2 month daughter. Having a child young is one thing but having a child with an unsupportive father is another. Sam barely knew me but quickly became my rock during this time. She was physically supportive in helping care for my daughter while at work to help ease my mind of the stress that comes along with trusting people with your child. She was also the mental support I have never experienced from anyone else in life. In hard dark days I could call Sam and she would remind me that I am a great mother. I am giving my daughter everything she needs. That I am EXACTLY what she needs. Being 18 barely making enough to support myself let alone a child had depression knocking at my door. Sam was so encouraging. Not only with word but with actions. Hapy times she was there to share as well. Whether it was taking the candid photos, doing what she could to take the stress so I can experience, or being the one to encourage creating the memories. I say this with my whole being I truly don’t think I would be the person or mother I am without her in my life. I probably would have stay in the toxic situation and mind set had it not been for her. To this day almost 16 years later still reminds me that I am a great mother and that my daughter is who she is because of me. She is a blessing that I would never take for granted. A person that you secretly want to keep for yourself but you know everyone needs a piece of.

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.

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!

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!

Every childbearing person deserves to feel supported, prepared, and unafraid as they navigate the wonders of pregnancy and childbirth. I’m both passionate and absolutely fascinated by this right of passage, and it is my highest privilege to guide others within their own birth stories. I became interested in childbirth education and birthwork when I was pregnant with our first baby. My partner and I attended a Bradley Method course kind of as a fluke, and it was life-changing. I did not realize how much I did not know! In addition to completing the Bradley Method course and experiencing the birth of my two children, I have worked in child and infant care for many years, including private nanny services, NatureSense Childcare Center, and The Madison Isthmus Montesorri Nedo (or nursery). I completed my Full Spectrum Doula Training, including prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum care, as well as training in fetal positioning and lactation support with Cornerstone Birthwork Training, and am certified in Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid through the Red Cross. I specialize in whole-food nutrition and dietary considerations for those with autoimmune disease and chronic illness. I live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Crohn’s Disease and have been developing and collecting recipes and home remedies for over 10 years! I’m an expert swaddler, baby bather, sleep wrangler, lullaby lilter, routine guru, space optimizing organizer, Story reader, and love to color and play Legos with kid siblings.

Leah was there for me 24/7 if I needed her or had a question, and has been 100% there for us from prenatal to postpartum. She kept me grounded and connected to what was happening to my body throughout my pregnancy and was knowledgeable about what I could do to help ease any pain or discomfort. Leah thoroughly prepared me for and guided me through each stage of labor and taught me how to recognize when it was time to go to the hospital. Leah offered so much support and reminded me that this is my pregnancy, my body, and while in the hospital, my voice is important. She made sure I understood that I had the right to ask questions and to say no at any point. She made me feel empowered. After our baby was born, Leah helped us feel confident in our abilities and has been an invaluable presence in our household for these first months. We are so happy to have had her by our side through this amazing experience.
