Hello ! My name is Tonja
Holistic Full-Spectrum Doula | Certified Lactation Educator | Midwifery Student Placenta Encapsulator
I am a devoted Full-Spectrum doula serving Riverside County in sunny Southern California. This is the brief story behind me, so you can focus on what truly matters…Your incredible birth journey!
About Me…
I’m a dedicated birth professional on a mission to improve maternal health outcomes through compassionate, evidence-based care. My journey into birth work began with the birth of my son in 2015. After enduring a traumatic birth, I uncovered a deep desire to address the gaps in the traditional medical model and empower families—especially those most at risk—to make informed choices about their care.
Currently I am training to become a Midwife at the National Midwifery Institute. I’m gaining the skills and knowledge needed to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a holistic, preventative approach. My long-term vision is to open midwifery and postpartum recovery centers, to provide life-saving care and education to communities in need.
My dream isn’t just about who I want to become professionally—it’s about changing a broken healthcare system and ensuring that every parent receives the empathetic, individualized care they deserve. I hope my work serves as both a reflection of my journey and a tribute to all mothers: past, present, and future.
