What is it like to have Tanya at your birth?
“Hiring Tanya as my doula for the birth of my fourth bay was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Tanya is compassionate and confident and working with her put my husband and me at ease through my pregnancy and during our home birth. She was a wonderful support to us from start to finish and Tanya helped make my home birth the most impactful experience of my life.
I highly recommend hiring Tanya. I delivered my first three babies without a doula, and my fourth birth was a much different and far better experience thanks to Tanya. Tanya accommodated our schedules for Hypnobirthing classes and was always there when I needed her between sessions. She became more than a doula to my husband and me – she became our friend.
You will not regret working with Tanya. She is top notch and I am so grateful we hired her””.
– Amanda Tress
“On a scale of 1-10 Tanya is a 16. This was our 3rd pregnancy and our only regret is not knowing to hire Tanya for the first 2. Her cool, calm and collected nature made the delivery process one we will cherish always. She was a mediator and encourager like no other. If you’re on the edge about hiring Tanya, do it and thank me later”.
– Jordan Johnson
“Tanya made our third pregnancy and delivery process truly amazing. She is uplifting, knowledgable and encouraging. We didn’t use a doula for our first two and truly wish we would have after having the experience we did. She empowers not only the mom, but also your husband too. She gave us tools and resources to make informative decisions throughout our pregnancy journey and we are forever grateful for our relationship with her! We also decided to have this baby unmedicated and naturally. I don’t think I would have been able to without her. If you aren’t sure about hiring her go ahead and do it. It was the best decision we could have made!”
– Morgan Weatherford
“An incredible woman with an incredible heart that made my home birth experience perfection. She was attentive, caring, and brought so much love to our birth. Having her there brought me comfort and happiness”
– Kelsea Koenreich
-Shelby Murray
“I absolutely love Tanya! Best doula ever alive. She is so passionate about this line of work. She is very loving, sensitive, caring, and is the one you need by your side when you’re going through your birth journey! I was her first and if I ever decide to have another baby she will be by my side every step of the way! I love you Tanya!!”
-Deanna Zoe
“Wow, there’s so much to write but I will make it brief- Tanya is professional yet personal. She has answered every question I have had about birth and after. Her communication is beyond satisfactory and I am so glad she was with Shey throughout the whole process. I’ve never had heard of a doula until Tanya and now I see how great this practice is for all mothers in the birthing process and men too! Thank you for all you do!
-Micah Morgan
“Tanya was an integral part of my birth and postpartum experience. My pregnancy required bed rest so I needed to find an online birthing class option. Tanya was able to provide the guidance and support my husband and I needed to head into our birth with confidence. Through Zoom meetings, phone calls, texts, and reading materials, she provided us with the knowledge and resources we needed, as well as the genuine loving care that made our experience the magical and intimate birth we had hoped for. I couldn’t recommend Tanya more highly, she was absolutely born for this!”
–Serina Ehoff
“I wouldn’t have made it through this journey without these 3 blessings.. my faith in God, my husband, and my doula Tanya. I was in communication with her from day 1 of finding out I was pregnant. She supported me as a stranger the first month or so when I found out I was pregnant and was having a few scares. Turns out, baby and myself were healthy! I hired her immediately and she educated me, loved me, and supported me the whole way through! I also hired her for training in hypnobirthing… not only is this great for birth, but through life and helping me sleep during pregnancy. She will support you wherever you decide to birth and however you decide to do it! I was planning to deliver at a hospital, and I had built more confidence and followed my dreams to deliver at a birth center! Which is exactly what we did! Her and my husband pushed me and comforted me during my 16 hour labor and 4 hours of pushing. Tanya is now forever part of our family, she was there for the most important day of my husbands and I life.. she welcomed baby laila with us ❤️ thanks for being apart of our journey”
-Rachael
“Words can not express the great experience we had with Tanya. Doula is not just a title that Tanya has, but a gift that God has given her. From day one to the end of our little “Miracle” journey from inside the womb, Tanya has been nothing but amazing! She’s not just a doula, but also a guidance, security, and best of all a great FRIEND! Tanya, you are truly an expert at what you do. Thank you for all that you do for my little family, God bless you!
-Saroum
“I never felt as though I was capable or strong enough to experience an all-natural birth free of medication and unnecessary interventions. My first child was a c-section, second was a vbac. It wasn’t until I met Tanya (who is absolutely amazing!!) that I found the courage and confidence to have a home birth. From hypnobirthing class, to her personal experiences Tanya has a wealth of knowledge and is the inspiration for me to one day become a doula and do the same for other women. Friendly, down to earth, family-oriented, reliable, and with her on my birthing team; she not only took care of me but made sure everyone present was happy!!
-JillyEnn
“I cannot describe in words how much Tanya Grazione made a difference in my pregnancy and birth. We attended the hypnobirthing classes for 6 weeks prior to my twins being born. I was an anxious first time mom with no local family in my area. I’m not entirely sure I could’ve gotten through without having Tanya to call/text/email. During labor, Tanya worked so hard to find ways to get me comfortable, keep me calm, walk me through the options so I was sure of my decisions. It was worth it to have a teammate and support system throughout my pregnancy and birth I highly recommend her.”
– Amanda Harshaw
“We chose Tanya for so many reasons and we are so glad we did. She is a God loving sweet soul, that truly has a passion for people and for the blessing of birth . She is aware of the stressors, the secret fears , the doubts and the “what if’s “ we all have as soon -to -be -parents. She incorporated my husband in every discussion /option and he was a huge part of the birth with hands on experiences to now cherish . She helped to empower us both to feel confident, calm and open to the experiences ahead . She thought of all the details and had it all covered before we even asked! Our daughter’s birth was beautiful and Tanya had a lot to do with it. She was available over the phone and ready to help in person all through the early hours of labor. During active labor, she had a calm touch. Through the time,she reminded us of our birth plan . She kept us focused and had great ideas to soothe us,to nourish us and to keep me as the mother moving and birth progressing . She was there just enough to feel that she was available but not so much that she took over the room. Her footprint was small or big depending on the situation and what we needed. She worked like a championship teammate with the midwives and staff of USF at TGH. They clicked right away. Their mission was the same and you could feel the love and caring from all of them . Her after-care was more than we could have ever ask for. Tanya stayed after the birth to celebrate, and care for us. She checked on us often with calls and visits. She made sure we were emotionally and physically ok and that we were connected to any resources we needed ( post natal massage , placenta encapsulation , lactation consultant ) Tanya has become more like a friend /a family member than a Doula to us. As a chiropractor, I meet many holistic care givers and she is one that is unforgettable and I have already referred two of my dearest patients / friends to her . I trust her to deliver excellent service to my loved ones . Thank you and God bless you Tanya!”

“Pregnant with my first child my husband and I reached out to Tanya for much needed help, advice & guidance. Working with Tanya was an absolute Godsend. Tanya helped me work on breathing techniques to help with the strong labour surges. She educated me on how to push and how to release tension in the wrong places. She reminded me that this is my birth, not the hospitals. If there was ever a moment I wasn’t sure of something she reminded us to speak up and to question what is happening. My biggest take away with working with Tanya is when I was in the heart of labouring and the hospital were trying to push a C-section on us we were still able to contact her over the phone to get her much needed opinion on the situation which ultimately lead to a healthy vaginal birth to our gorgeous baby girl. We will definitely be working with Tanya when we get pregnant again. She’s the best, she genuinely cares. Thankyou Tanya soo much.”
– Helen Koya
“Tanya is absolutely INCREDIBLE at what she does! There is no way I could have had a successful birth center birth without her. The Hypnobirthing education she provided us was invaluable and even though this was my third child, I learned more from Tanya than I had ever known before. She was absolutely necessary for my labor and delivery. She was able to help my labor progress and provided me with support the entire time. She is literally THE BEST and I can’t recommend her enough to others. She will help educate and empower you to birth your child in a gentle, healing and peaceful way. It’s absolutely beautiful and what every mom and baby deserves!
-Raven Kramer

“It seems that recently we talk a lot about women empowering women. I am all about it but it really doesn’t sink in until you truly experience it. I cannot think of a better example then with my recent homebirth with the one and only Tanya.
When we first met Tanya it was obvious. Her selflessness and values were beaming. It was genuine. She wasn’t putting on a show so you’d hire her – she was in this for you. You don’t often meet someone for the first time and just click. But when you do you know it’s special.
Of the many reasons I respect Tanya one that truly stands out is her honesty. Being pregnant and giving birth during Covid brought different challenges. Tanya did not hold back and was honest about the reality of the situation.
During the homebirth Tanya was the calm motivator that I needed in addition to my partner. I knew we were a good fit because of Tanya‘s background in fitness and I knew her words of encouragement would er me through each surge (plus her massages were just a bonus!)
It has been such a pleasure working with Tanya during this time and I would not have it any other way. I’m happy that not only did we meet as part of her services but that we have developed a lifelong friendship.”

“Having Tanya at my labor gave me so much comfort with emotional and physical support that I’m eternally grateful for. Tanya gave me so much guidance with her knowledge and her kind hearted loving personality. I felt very comforted, calm and relaxed during my labor. My natural birth was an incredible experience for my first born”
– Sarah Terry
“Thanks to Tanya I was able to have the strength to birth the way I planned. She is the sweetest, so caring and knowledgeable. I’m so glad we were able to work together and build a bond that continues even after my baby is here.”
– Christine Perez
“My wife and I feel really lucky to have found Tanya to be our doula for the birth of our daughter. She really made a huge difference right from the first interview we did with her. When we told her we were feeling ambivalent about our provider, she encouraged us to check out all our options—we ended up switching to Labor of Love birth center and we’re very glad we did. Also, when my wife was having trouble sleeping due to back and hip pain, Tanya encouraged us to find a chiropractor—again, it made a huge difference. She had less pain after the first treatment. Then there is our 5 year old son, who immediately took a liking to Tanya. When our childcare plan fell through at the last minute (!) Tanya was super flexible and really helped us make it work having him at the birth center during labor. She is such a naturally thoughtful and caring person. It made a big difference just to have her there all along the way, helping us prepare and think things through, helping take care of details so we could concentrate on more immediate concerns, and not to mention being such a strong, encouraging and reassuring presence during labor!”
– Bradley Jones
“Tanya is passionate about what she does. She makes sure you feel supported no matter how you decide to birth. When I found out I was pregnant I reached out to find out how I could go about a waterbirth. She offered guidance and gave me direction. She was willing to share her knowledge without hesitation. I felt mistreated at my obgyn and hired Tanya to help me during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The first visit with Tanya it felt a weight was lifted off my shoulder. I had the best sleep in months. I started to glow. I felt safe, heard, and supported. Tanya was there every step of the way and went above and beyond what I expected
– Shey Nichole
“I cannot say enough good things about Tanya as a person and especially as a doula. She is passionate, kind, knowledgeable and the energy she gives off is remarkable. I had previously had 2 medicated /hospital births, both which were nothing like I imagined they would be. After my second son was born I decided the next time I gave birth it would be at home, surrounded by love and all that I wished birth to be. So around came my 3rd pregnancy and I was ready to embark on this beautiful journey but I knew I wanted some assistance so I sought out and researched doulas. Through a mutual friend I found Tanya, we decided to meet to see if we were a good match. Half way into our meeting I knew there wasn’t another doula I wanted by my side. I kid you not, when you feel someone’s energy and passion for what they do like with Tanya , you just know she is the right person. Throughout my pregnancy Tanya kept in touch thru phone, text and in person meetings. She made my whole family( Husband and kiddos )feel completely comfortable. She answered and assisted any questions or concerns they might of had. We wanted our 2 boys to be apart of our birth so it helped that they felt completely comfortable with her. Tanya encouraged me to practice hypnobirthing and coached me through the pregnancy . I have to say that was a god send for me. With my previous pregnancies I experienced alot of fear around birth and when that time came. Hypnobirthing completely changed my mindset. It allowed me to be at peace, happy and in control. I have never had such a wonderful pregnancy and I feel like a big part of it was the hypnobirthing. I had a long birth from 3am to 3 pm and I wasn’t afraid, it was enjoyable for the most part and when it got to the point where it seemed tough Tanya helped me move through it and helped my body progress to meeting my sweet babe. I remember her saying you may not like me but I’m going to help you so you can move along, in terms of doing different things.Whether it was the yoga ball, going for walks, or laboring on the toilet, I took her advice and it really helped to keep things progressing. Tanya will advocate for you 100% whether it be to the hospital staff, to your mother in law, or to your own fears at times. She has your back ! I am so thankful for her and the job she does”.
