Hello! I'm Tina, the owner of Tina the Postpartum Doula and a dedicated advocate for new mothers and their families. 

My Professional Journey and Expertise

I am deeply committed to supporting families during the "fourth trimester." My credentials include being a Breastfeeding Specialist (working towards renewing my certification) and a Postpartum Doula (previously certified through DONA International). 

In addition to running my own practice, I am a proud co-owner of The Juniper House, the first Postpartum Wellness Center in the Hampton Roads area, located right here in Chesapeake. This center is a testament to our commitment to providing comprehensive, holistic care for new parents. 

The Personal Story Behind the Passion

My journey into the world of maternal support is rooted in personal experience and a desire to fill a critical gap in care. 

It all began in 2006 when I supported my sister through her experience with postpartum depression. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the depth of what she was going through, but I was there. 

After becoming a mother myself in 2008, I vividly realized that a robust, compassionate support system was often missing for many new mothers. That feeling of potential isolation ignited a passion within me. I decided then that I would dedicate myself to helping mothers in any way I could.

In 2016, I became a Certified Postpartum Doula with DONA International, and by October of that year, I was actively working with mothers, helping and guiding them through the transformative period of the fourth trimester. 

My Family

I am a wife to Kevin (married in April 2004) and a mother to four beautiful blessings: Kristopher, Karalena, Vanessa, and Zachary. My family is my foundation and the constant inspiration that helped me find my true calling: helping other women navigate this amazing transition of life. 

I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and discuss how I can support your family during this special time!

Hey there — I’m Mere!

I’m a CAPPA-certified postpartum doula serving families in the Hampton Roads community. After years in childcare, I discovered my passion for supporting parents through the beautiful yet challenging postpartum season. My goal is to create a safe, empowering space where families feel seen, supported, and confident as they settle into life with their newborn. Every family is unique, and I tailor my care to meet your specific needs. When I’m not supporting families, I love exercising, reading, and spending time with my cat Mochi, friends, and family. I’d be honored to support you and your family during this special transition.

Hi there - I’m Ashton!

I am a Postpartum Doula turned Newborn Care Specialist. I am a mom of 5 and a Navy wife.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree both in Criminology (not exactly baby related, but we pivot!)

I have worked in newborn care in Virginia for 4 years and see no end in sight. I am currently working only overnights, as a Newborn Care Specialist. I love reading, Jesus, 1800s everything, a crisp Canada Dry…and babies!

At work, I feel most fulfilled when I am able to learn a baby’s schedule, rhythm, cues, and needs in the wee hours of night, while parents can catch up on sleep and know I’ve got things under control with their little one.
Please reach out if you’d like to talk about newborn care for yourself or someone close to you- it is my favorite subject and I’d be blessed to help care for your baby in those first few months.

Hey there—I’m Ari!

My passion for supporting families started early, working with children of all ages from infants to toddlers. I initially joined the team as a dedicated Sibling Doula, but I quickly discovered a deep love for supporting parents through the overnight hours as a nighttime doula. I am recently a Homeschool Graduate (c/o 2026) , and I'm currently expanding my skills by training under Tina.

In 2027, I will be among the first to complete Tina’s custom Postpartum Doula Certification Curriculum! When I’m not caring for newborns, you can find me working part-time spreading sparkles with Chelsea at The Fairy Hair Co., enjoying coffee (my ultimate love language!), and growing in my love for Jesus. I’m so excited to bring my energy, infant care skills, and dedication to your family.

Hi there - I’m Mylee!

My path to becoming a postpartum doula started at home. Since 2017, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom to my own busy crew—three boys and one girl, all born back-to-back. Raising them taught me just how fast-paced and overwhelming the postpartum period can be.

Before dedicating myself to my family full-time, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in hospitals and nursing homes, where taking care of others wasn't just a job, but a calling. I chose this line of work because I know exactly what it feels like to need an extra pair of hands, a listening ear, and a judgment-free space to breathe.

As your doula, I’m here to offer exactly that. From hands-on newborn care and light household help to protecting your rest, my goal is to bring peace of mind, warmth, and steady encouragement into your home so you can focus on healing and bonding.
