#Holistic Doula Care, Lactation Support, Yoga for Pelvic Health **Hello! I'm Tamara, a cat loving, forest dwelling, heart tending Doula and Therapeutic Yoga Teacher, living on Vancouver Island BC.** As an experienced doula, I help guide folks through the journey of pregnancy, childbirth and new parenthood. When we work together, you can expect an occasional whole-hearted "Heck Ya!" in celebration with you - as you discover how powerful & capable you are. I've been working with families for many years, beginning with my first experience as a postpartum doula in 1984. During those years, I continued to provide caregiving while I was pregnant and raising my own three babies - who are all now fully grown. The experience of becoming a parent solidified my deep calling for supporting new families. I completed my formal Birth & Postpartum Doula training in 2012, and Lactation Educator certification in 2013. I have been working professionally as a Doula ever since. As a registered Yoga Teacher, I work with people who seek gentle, evidence based practices that support their embodiment, wellbeing and care. I have deepened my training through an 800 hour program to become a Yoga Therapist, with a special focus on Yoga for Pelvic Health. My offerings are therapeutic, trauma informed, and rooted within self-compassion, nervous system awareness, intuitive movement, and breath connection. I specialize in private, one-to-one yoga sessions which are tailored for your individual needs & goals. Besides yoga and babies, I love hanging out with my grandson, being outside in nature, and laughter that makes my face wrinkle. I am devoted to holding space for others throughout the thresholds of their unique life experiences. If you are seeking support for any stage of your journey, please feel welcome to connect with me.
