ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Tasha - TLC Maternal Wellness formally TLC Doula Care.
I trained as a Doula in early 2022 with When push comes to shove and furthered my training in Birth Keeping in 2023 with Artemis Birth Attendant Academy It is an absolute honour to do the work I love — supporting women and families through one of the most transformative times of their lives. Birth work isn’t just my profession; it’s my passion and my calling.

⭐️ A Little of My Background ⭐️
Before becoming a Birthkeeper, I studied Law at university and later trained as a Therapeutic Counsellor.
My journey led me to work in a secondary school in pastoral support and then within a homeless hostel as a life coach. I have volunteered for Cruse Bereavement and FearFree, and more recently within my local maternity ward and for Devon Maternity and Neonatal Voices — advocating for women and contributing to positive change within maternity services.
Supporting, empowering and advocating for others has always been at the heart of everything I do.

⭐️ What Led Me to Birth Keeping ⭐️
After four years of struggling to conceive — including fertility testing and failed treatments — we finally welcomed our first daughter in 2015.
Over the following years, we went on to have six more children — three girls and four boys. I have been blessed with seven healthy pregnancies and seven natural births: four in hospital, three at home, four in water, and in 2025, a deeply magical freebirth.
That experience was profoundly transformative. To birth instinctively, in my own space, feeling completely safe, undisturbed and empowered, reaffirmed everything I believe about physiological birth and women’s innate wisdom.
While I consider all of my births positive, there are still things I would do differently — and those reflections, alongside my lived experience, have shaped the Birthkeeper I am today.
Over the past decade, I have built extensive knowledge and real-life experience in fertility, pregnancy, birth and newborn care. I’ve supported hundreds of women online and completed specialist training so I can now offer this support professionally to you and your family.
