About Us
I'm Tunisia Macklin, your personal cheerleader and guide in the beautiful journey of childbirth. As the heart and soul of Peaceful Birthing Doula Services, you'll find me playing many roles - a devoted wife, a loving mother, a skilled massage therapist, and a dedicated doula, placenta encapsulator, and women's health and wellness herbalist.
My journey into this compassionate profession was sparked by my own mother's natural labor at home. This powerful experience ignited a flame in me that led me to support numerous families and friends before officially stepping into the role of a doula.
With a rich tapestry of experience spanning two decades as a professional massage therapist, I have had the honor of assisting over 500 glowing mothers-to-be. My work revolves around offering soothing massages, preparing parents with comfort measures, postpartum readiness, and infant massage. As your doula, I'll walk with you through home births, water births, hospital deliveries, and beyond. I'm here to offer advice during labor, share pregnancy insights, teach delivery techniques, assist with breastfeeding, navigate the birthing system, and provide postpartum support. My journey evolved from massage therapy to the deeply fulfilling role of a doula.
I am eager to stand beside you, providing support and guidance during labor, delivery, and postpartum care, as a part of your loving support team. My goal is to empower you to create the birth experience you've always dreamed of and make beautiful, lasting memories. So, tell me, what are your dreams for your birth experience?
