Tamami
Prenatal, Birth, postpartum, breastfeeding support
I am a Southern California native, born and raised in Los Angeles, or what we like to call "LaLa Land". I live in the East side with my other half, Jantzen, 2 sons (Aiven: 4yrs & August: 15 months), and Buster (7yr male Lasopoo). Yes, I am out numbered with a house full of testosterone and sometimes I feel like I’m in a jungle, but you just can’t beat all the adventures that unfold!! I had a Doula for both of my births, but before I was pregnant, I had never heard of such support. I was fortunate that my childhood friend opened me up to this new world and I was enlightened and empowered! After having our 1st son, experiencing the roller-coaster ride of 1st time parenting, and seeking a range of support to help through our journey as parents, I found my calling. I, myself, want to help and support those who seek support! So, here I am… for YOU… to fulfill your needs through our wondrous journey of life - OUR TREE OF LIFE that we build with the support of OUR VILLAGE that we create.
"My labor was 4 days long filled with complications. Tamami not only helped me handle the unexpected, but also provided both mental and physical support. She went above and beyond for me. She made sure my decisions were being respected and reassured me about my choices. I am grateful to have had her throughout my journey."

Having Tamami be a part of my birth was the best decision I ever made! She was there for me when I needed her, day or night. It felt like I had a close friend there supporting me, and not some stranger. Labor can be scary and overwhelming but Tamami made sure she did everything she could to make me feel as calm and comfortable as I could be. My most memorable moment was when she used a rebozo to 'lift' my belly during my most painful contractions, and that was a lifesaver. I don't know how I could have gone through it all without a birth doula as wonderful as her. I highly recommend her!
