About Me:
Greetings! My name is Tia Wente and I am professional certified birth doula trained by Prodoula and DONA International, two of the leading certifying organizations in America.
I want to take a moment to tell you a little about me personally, because allowing someone into your birth space is a very personal decision. For more information about my credentials and specialized training please visit my Curriculum Vitae tab above.
I am a married mother of two beautiful children. My motherhood journey has been vastly different between the two.
My first child was a “perfect” doula assisted, unmedicated delivery. This wonderful little girl made me a mom. We had a fairly easy breastfeeding experience and she was an “easy” baby by most accounts.
In 2014 I was blessed with a miracle baby boy who beat all the odds of a difficult pregnancy and graced us with his presence 10 weeks to soon. My delivery was unexpected, not well supported, and left me feeling very vulnerable. I struggled through the stages of lactation with a NICU baby and gained a new insight into feeding and care of a special needs child.
My experiences have led me to become a birth doula so that I can uplift and support all people, all births, and all feeding journeys. I have been gifted a unique perspective and ability to empathize and support.
Today we are a happy family of four. We enjoy long days at the park and playing board games at night. One of life’s greatest pleasures is curling up with a good book and cuddles from my kids. I have learned to never take a single day for granted.
