Hello! My name is Teeya and I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula serving families in the Bay Area for over a decade now. My roots are in Northern Idaho where I grew up in Clark Fork, a small town nestled in the mountains. What originally brought me to California 16 years ago was actually singing! I have a bachelor degree in vocal performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where I primarily studied classical technique. Working with my voice provided me with a deep understanding of breath and prompted me to further explore the intricacies of the human body. This journey led me to India, where I immersed myself in the study of yoga and meditation. Today, I integrate these skills into my work as a birth doula, assisting individuals in connecting with their bodies and finding their voice throughout the birthing process and pregnancy.

​

As a doula, my mission is to provide personalized support, advocacy, and guidance to birthing individuals, ensuring they feel empowered and respected throughout their birthing experience. Labor can look different for everyone! Listening to the birthing person's intuition and staying present with them in the moment is how I help my clients find their rhythm and flow in labor. I believe in informed consent and bodily autonomy and it is my goal to make sure that all birthing people feel that they are being cared for and listened to in their birth experience. Birth can feel vulnerable at times so I aim to create an environment that feels safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental.
