In 1994 I acted as a gestational surrogate for a family in Israel, giving birth to their twins. Shortly after, I started a surrogacy agency to help families and their surrogates as they navigated the surrogacy world. It wasn't long until I found myself acting as a doula, although I'd never heard the term "doula" before! When I learned about doulas, I knew it was something I wanted to do! By 2001, I shifted my focus from surrogacy to doula work.

As a Birth Doula, I feel my role is as an educator. I want the support person as involved as possible. I have given birth to 10 children, and have been a doula for many years, so I have a lot of experience to draw from.
As a Postpartum Doula, I assist new families in adjusting to their new roles, provide resources, reassure parents, and even walk the dog!

As a birth doula, she worked well with the medical staff and presented to us all options at every step of the way. Her knowledge and experience made us feel at ease, and had a wonderful birth experience as a result.
Following birth, Tabitha assisted us with the care of our newborn at home, which enabled me (mom) get some well needed rest. We highly recommend Tabitha’s to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, respectful, and trustworthy doula.”

I was lucky to have Tabitha on my team, she is one of the most dedicated doulas I know. Having Tabitha’s support means you have her focused on your success for a positive birth experience. She not only meets your needs, she anticipates them and is a wonderful educator along the way. Tabitha is passionate about making sure families have the support they need during pregnancy and birth, she is a wonderful doula who walks with you every step of the way.

She works very hard to provide the best care possible to all the families she supports. The birthing community is lucky to have her. I have been very honored to work with her.

Tabitha is an amazing community educator, birth work specialist and PAIL advocate. I couldn’t be happier serving expecting parents alongside anyone else. She is forever learning, continuing her education and levels of certification in this field. Tabby shares her knowledge to equip parents and peer educators alike. The birth industry thrives with caretakers like Tabitha in it! I can’t wait to see where her goals take her and hope I am right beside her along the way! Come on Midwife To Be!
