Hi! I’m Tamoyia

For more than sixteen years, I've had the privilege of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum while mentoring new doulas and working alongside birth professionals across a variety of settings. Those years taught me far more than how to support birth. They taught me to see the patterns within birth culture. I watched families struggle to find balanced, comprehensive education. I watched birthworkers enter the profession with passion but without the long-term support, mentorship, and continuing education they deserved. Too often, conversations became divided by philosophy instead of centered on helping people make informed decisions. The more I observed, the more one question stayed with me: What would birth look like if families and birthworkers were no longer treated as separate parts of birth, but as part of the same ecosystem? That question became The Liberated Birth. I didn't set out to build another childbirth education program or another doula organization. I set out to create a place where families and birthworkers could both belong. A place where education, support, and continual growth strengthen not only individuals, but birth culture itself. Today, The Liberated Birth is a birth ecosystem built on those ideas. Everything we create is designed to strengthen birth culture by connecting the people who shape it.
