Keigha S. | Birth Doula in Tacoma, WA

Wintertide Birth Services

    Practice overview

    I help families that want to have a better birth experience. Better then their mom's/sister's/friend's experience or even their own. Since every birth is different, I spend the prenatal visits listening to your hopes, fears, wishes and needs. Then we work together to create a plan to help you have the birth you want. We even go over how to have a better birth when things don't go as planned. When your birth time comes, I will be there to support you and your partner and serve as a guide for both of you throughout all of births stages. One family I supported, wanted a doula more for the partner, then the mom. It was his first birth and her 4th. She knew what to expect but her partner needed support to understand what he was seeing was normal and to stay calm. By keeping him calm and informed, she was able to give all of her attention to the birth and he was able to relax and be fully present for the birth of their son. I attune to each family's needs and support them in the way that they want.

      Keigha has so much motivation and heartfelt ability to serve families and be their Doula. I so value her willingness to explore all the ways she can support birth work and attune to her clients.

      I was fortunate to be Keigha’s Labor Doula Trainer and witness how she has stepped into this role

      I am so grateful that Keigha was my doula for my first birth. Leading up to the big day, she was so supportive and encouraging and helped me feel confident things would go well. Most of my labor took place at home and she was by my side throughout all of it; using her essential oils and calming presence to help me through the sensations as it became more intense. She was also an enormous help to my husband, who was reassured by her confidence and grounded demeanor. When it finally came time to push at the birth center, I had incredibly painful back labor in the tub and was not sure I could withstand the pain. Keigha’s intuitive words were honestly what refocused my mind and she knew just what to say to help me deliver my baby smoothly. We are so grateful to her for helping us have a successful water birth for our child, and for everything she has done to support our family.
