Who we are
Get to know your doula
My name is LaTanya. I am a trained and certified doula, and retired Special Education Administrator and teacher. My decision to become a Doula was birthed out of my own lived and miscarried birthing experience, and hearing accounts of women needing physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Hence, the name, Empowered Pregnancy Doula Services.
As a doula, I advocate and prioritize building collaborative relationships with care providers, the birthing person, and their partner(s), ensuring that clients’ voices are heard, and their choices respected. This involves advocating for informed consent and supporting clients in asserting their rights during childbirth. and interrupting oppressive behaviors. I work to uphold my clients’ autonomy and well-being throughout their birthing experience.
I am a Mom too
It all started here...
I am a married mother of 2 adult children, 1 step daughter, 3 grandsons, and one great grandson.
My day to day life involves enjoying family and friends, crafting, and being an adventurous spirit.

Postpartum doula visits focus on your recovery and adjusting to life with your newborn. We provide breastfeeding support, newborn care guidance, help with light household tasks, and offer emotional support to ensure you feel confident and rested as you transition into parenthood.
