My practice offers integrative birth, postpartum, and lactation support rooted in evidence-based care, cultural awareness, and whole-person support. I work with families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and feeding support with a focus on education, nervous system regulation, informed decision-making, and honoring the body’s natural physiology. As a birth and postpartum doula with advanced lactation training and IBCLC preparation, I support chest/breastfeeding, pumping, newborn rhythms, recovery after vaginal or cesarean birth, and early family transition. My care often includes hands-on guidance with feeding, positioning, infant soothing, bodywork-informed comfort measures, traditional postpartum practices, and practical support for the emotional and physical realities of new parenthood. My approach blends clinical knowledge with compassionate, individualized care that helps families feel informed, grounded, and supported.

I provide intentional prenatal preparation, continuous labor support for hospital or home births, and nurturing postpartum follow-up.

Tunisha Grant
I became a doula after having a few very different births of my own — each one beautiful, each one a little chaotic, and each one teaching me how much it matters to have someone steady in the room. Someone who listens. Someone who helps you feel safe when everything feels big and unpredictable. Those experiences stuck with me, so I followed that pull. I trained as a certified birth and postpartum doula, became a lactation specialist, and learned newborn care because I wanted to support families with both heart and real knowledge. The passion came first, but I wanted the skills to match it. I care deeply about women who feel unheard, unsure, or overwhelmed — because I’ve been there. Birth and postpartum are huge chapters, and no one should have to figure them out alone. www.inthefamilywaydoula.com
