Hi, I’m Tanya. I offer holistic pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum doula support rooted in the belief that the entrance to motherhood is a sacred and rite of passage. Before becoming a mother, I immersed myself in learning about birth- to avoid unnecessary medicalization and coercion, and to truly understand the magic and wisdom of my own body. I quickly realized how much we’ve been taught to distrust our physiology, and how empowering it felt to relearn what is innate and ancient within us. My first birth, at home, was transformative. It opened my eyes to the power of personalized care and pushed me to dive fully into birthwork, so I could serve other women and families seeking a similar path. My second birth was a powerful freebirth at home, surrounded by my closest friends and family. It took me even deeper- into surrender, into trust, into the raw connection between body, spirit, and baby. Now, as a mother of two, I’m here to offer grounded, compassionate support for your unique path- trusting your rhythms, honoring your choices, and reminding you that you were made for this.

I am a full spectrum Inclusive doula in Northern California. I serve Nevada City, Grass Valley, Colfax, Auburn(the unincorporated areas in between), Newcastle, Loomis, Rocklin and Parts of Roseville.

Blessings to you. Thank you for jumping in profile. My name is Valerie Claxton, and I am an IBCLC, a certified childbirth educator, doula certified, and a registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery living northern California. I have been on both sides of the labor and delivery journey as a nurse, I see mothers choosing what is best for them and advocating for them, whether going fully natural to using medicinal means to deliver. I know that with teamwork, belief, trust, releasing all fears, and encompassing a peaceful space that birthing your beautiful bundle will come easy. Yes, there are the unknowns but with constant communication and reassurance our relationship will be unbreakable. I enjoy teaching Zumba, serving in our children's ministry, and showing off my green thumb.

I believe every birthing person should have the right to a trauma free birth experience, where their beliefs, values and goals are heard and respected. Birthing bodies are powerful. My goal as a doula is to remind you of the power you hold. I have worked in the medical field for 13 years as a Certified Medical Assistant, Lead Medical Assistant Instructor, recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration and gained Certification as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. I am a very motivated and determined person. As a dedicated mother and proud African American woman, my heart is deeply rooted in the wellbeing of our community. The glaring disparities in maternal health that disproportionately affect women of color are not just statistics to me; they are urgent calls to action that resonate with my own experiences and those of my loved ones. I am committed to leveraging my knowledge, resources, and voice to initiate and support sustainable changes within the healthcare system. My goal is to ensure that equitable, high-quality maternal care is not a privilege, but a standard afforded to all mothers, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Through community outreach, advocacy, and education, I strive to contribute to a world where maternal mortality in underserved communities is not a grim expectation but a rare exception. My mission is to fight for a future where every mother’s life is given the value it unequivocally deserves.

MA’s Helping Hands provides you with a mother/daughter doula team that has a combined total of over 50 years experience working with women, their babies and their families during pregnancy, labor/delivery and through the postpartum period.

I experienced my first birth at 12 years old and knew from then on that I wanted to be involved in birth work and babies. After reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth during my first pregnancy, I was introduced to the term “doula” and knew that I wanted to be one. With the birth of my second child and having a doula, I KNEW that this was my calling. I am especially passionate about working with families of color and other marginalized communities that need support during pregnancy and beyond. I believe that everyone and anyone should have access to doula support. I am excited about the opportunity to support families in their birth and post-partum journey! Random facts about me: I have a daughter and a son. I think that dogs are a gift to humans. I am an avid reader- I can usually be found listening to an audio book throughout the day.
