As a mother of three adult sons with over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I have dedicated my life to supporting others through some of life’s most profound transitions. My personal birthing experiences, each resulting in C-sections, included life-threatening complications during my last delivery and the postpartum period. These challenges ignited a passion within me to be the eyes, ears, hands, and voice for anyone undergoing significant life changes, like welcoming new life to the Earthside. ​My journey began as a nurse, caring for people from diverse backgrounds and unique circumstances. This experience allowed me to connect deeply with individuals in the medical setting. Transitioning from that role to being a doula, newborn care specialist, and CPR instructor came naturally. My deepest desire is to uplift others through advocacy, education, and tender loving care (TLC). I believe in the power of compassionate support and the importance of honoring each individual's and family's unique journey. Whether you’re welcoming your first child or expanding your family, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way, offering guidance, reassurance, and unwavering support.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Teneka! From the moment we started working together, I felt extremely comfortable with her, which immediately lessened any anxiety I had about having a stranger in my home overnight. She has been an absolute lifesaver in helping us establish a nighttime feeding schedule for our baby, which has made a world of difference. Thanks to her guidance and support, I’ve been able to get the rest I need to show up as the best mom I can be. With a husband who works unpredictable hours and travels frequently, most of the baby care falls on me right now, and having Teneka by my side has made our experience as first time parents so much easier. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, but she also truly cares for our baby in such a loving way—the way she talks to him makes my heart so happy, knowing he is being loved and nurtured throughout the night when I’m not there. Beyond her exceptional care, Teneka also goes above and beyond in so many ways. She helps keep up with baby laundry, ensures that the baby bottles and pump parts are always clean, and even tidies up around the house at times—all things that make my life so much easier. If you are looking for a compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated postpartum doula, I highly recommend Teneka! She has truly been a game-changer for our family, and we are so grateful for her. -R.
