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!

Peace, my name is Shantique Smith-Hayes and I am a Certified Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula in Milwaukee, WI. I am the Wife to an amazing Husband, and Mother of two lovely Daughters- ages 8 and almost 3. In my free time I love to lay out on my couch, in front of my big patio windows, cup of tea in hand, sun beaming, watching Nature do its thing. I enjoy traveling, reading books that make me feel good, painting, letting my inner child shine, and indulging in flavorful foods– Soul Food, Jamaican Food, Carribean Food, Mexican Food, you name it! I am authentically and purposefully myself. I take pride in having such a bright, Sunflower Aura. My philosophy is that every mother and baby, regardless of circumstances at time of conception, should have access to quality, personal, supportive care. As a Holistic Doula, my approach to pregnancy and childbirth recognizes that a woman's body is naturally designed to conceive, nourish, and give birth to their baby(ies). Our wombs are our centers and do far more than produce babies: they give birth to the power in us. I am a firm believer that the more you know, the less you fear. In my practice, I review the different phases of labor, positioning of baby and pain management techniques to help cope with the discomforts of contractions. I educate women of their birthing rights and help create an individualized birth plan, ensuring that they feel confident advocating for themselves and their healthy birthing experience. I offer 1:1 individualized prenatal wellness education on topics such as: prenatal care, pregnancy related physical and emotional changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum changes, parenting roles, and newborn care and safety. My doula work involves gentle practices such as breathwork and gentle stretching, utilizing herbal medicine, taking meditative walks in nature, intuitive painting, aromacaress therapy with infused oils and essential oils, and gentle womb massages. Each of these practices has a unique way of showing us who we really are- unmasked, vulnerable, courageous and bold. These practices equip women with the tools necessary for a safe, successful and memorable pregnancy and birthing experience; all of which in turn reduces the risk of undesirable pregnancies and birth outcomes in black maternal health.

Shantique was the doula for a patient I was caring for recently. Our mother desired an unmedicated, natural birth. She was highly motivated and successful with her plan much due to the coaching provided by Shantique. She was professional and knowledgeable about the labor process. She was by her side the entire time to encourage the patient and reassure her even when she thought she couldn't do it anymore. I enjoyed working with Shantique and look forward to working with her again! Sincerely, Lynne RN
