Hello, I'm Tania – your companion on the path to a gentle birth experience.

From my earliest days, I've been fascinated by the miracle of birth, earning me the affectionate title of a "Birth Geek" among my friends and family. This lifelong passion has driven me to explore the depths of childbirth, its beauty, and its transformative power.

I'm a French woman, currently living in Singapore with my international family. My journey to becoming a birth doula has been a fascinating adventure, filled with diverse experiences and cultural immersion.

Seven memorable years in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, marked the beginning of this incredible journey. It was there that I welcomed my first child into the world, an experience that deeply resonated with me and ignited my passion for supporting others through the beautiful process of childbirth.

Life had more adventures in store for me, and I found myself in Singapore, hand in hand with my husband, as he pursued his career. Here, we embraced a new chapter of our lives and welcomed our second child into our loving family.

With a background in nutrition engineering and certification as a yoga instructor, I bring a unique blend of expertise to guide you through this transformative journey. My own multicultural experiences and the births of my children have further enriched my understanding of the emotional, physical, and practical aspects of childbirth.

My mission is to provide you with unwavering support and guidance, drawing upon my diverse background to create a nurturing and positive birth experience tailored to your unique needs.

Empowering your journey with a tailored, gentle approach founded on evidence-based wisdom.
