About Tina

I am a Postpartum Doula (Previously Certified through DONA) and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS) owner of Tina the Postpartum Doula. I also co-own Hampton Roads 1st Postpartum Wellness Center The Juniper House , in Chesapeake.

I am a wife to Kevin (m. April 2004) and mother of 4 beautiful blessings, Kristopher, Karalena, Vanessa, and Zachary, who helped me find my passion with helping mothers in this amazing transition of life.

I started my journey 2006, helping my sister through Postpartum Depression. But at the time I didn’t fully understand what she was going through, was there to support her. After I became a mother myself in 2008, I realized that there wasn’t a real support system in place for many mothers. Because of that feeling, I decided I would help mothers in any way I could. Because of my passion for helping mothers, I spoke a fellow birth-worker. She helped guide me to the right program.

I took the steps in 2016 to become a Certified Postpartum Doula with DONA International, and by October I began working with mothers, helping them and guiding them through the 4th Trimester. I look forward to talking with you!
