Your birth adventure starts here

With U Birth offers training and support every step of the way

Welcome! I’m Tara. With many years of experience as a mother, birth doula, and childbirth educator, I provide personalized support and expert guidance to make your journey into parenthood as positive and empowering as possible.

Whether you’re preparing for the arrival of your baby or seeking professional doula training, I will equip you with the tools, knowledge, and clarity you need to navigate this transformative experience with confidence and strength.

Because every adventure is better together.

Every birth brings its own challenge

Though an average of 350,000 babies are born every day around the world, each new parent can feel as isolated and overwhelmed as if they were the only one on the planet struggling with this new role. Our modern way of life values independence and self-reliance and we have forgotten how to share our most common life experiences.

We need each other! Studies show that births are safer and more satisfying when attended by a support person offering continuous one-to-one emotional care. After baby arrives, parents thrive with extra reassurance and social connection. It’s this deep need for community support and mentoring that led to the creation of With U Birth.

We provide encouragement, training, and resources, equipping families with the tools they need to stay confident and connected during life’s biggest transitions.

Welcome to the adventure!
