“Teesee came into our distraught home like a soothing breeze, calming our anxieties and allaying our fears... Above all else, she is empathetic and deeply sensitive to a mother's emotional roller coaster during the first few weeks of having your new baby at home... She is not just good with babies - she is a mommy whisperer, too.”

— Yvette H.

“When we first found out that we were pregnant it was a big surprise!

We were so excited to bring a baby earth side. When It came to our doula search we were referred to Teesee from a friend. From our first facetime call I knew she was someone special and someone who we wanted In the room with us when It came to delivery. The thing we loved the most about Teesee Is that she was also a Postpartum doula which we already knew we wanted to guide us when we came home from the hospital. When the day came to deliver she really SHOWED UP for my husband and I. My 26 hour labor felt like a breeze with her by our side. Not only was I able to have the delivery I wanted she also guided me with my breastfeeding journey. Postpartum had Its ups and downs and she was right next to me supporting me and our baby boy.

She wasn't just a doula she became family and someone that will be In our lives forever. Our baby boy loves her auntie Teesee! We cant recommend her enough. She Is so knowledgable and has decades of experience. Thank you Teesee for giving me the confidence and strength to become the mother that I am.”

"Teesee was a life saver. Her knowledge on newborns exceeds anyone I have met. I was very stressed and hectic after my birth due to it being very traumatic and she had such a calmness and tranquility about her that it leveled out my intense emotions. She flew across the country from California to Maine to be my postpartum doula. We planned for her to be at the birth but it's extremely hard to know exactly when the baby will come. Within a week after giving birth she was at my home ready to help. You have to choose your birth team wisely. I unfortunately chose a midwife who rushed my birth, forced me to push when neither I nor my baby was ready, forced me in positions that I didn't not want to be in, stitched me up wrong and slept on my couch the whole time. I wish I could of had Teesee at my birth because I know it would of gone a lot smoother. She would of stood up for me in a time where I couldn't stand up for myself. My stitch incisions got infected due to my midwife not telling me how to properly clean and take care of it. I was so sad that I would need to be put on antibiotics that would cause me not to be able to breastfeed. Teesee assured me not to take them and to wait until she got to me. Sure enough within 3 days she healed my infection naturally! I was also stressed about breastfeeding and wanted to give up and just pump. She was there hour after hour coaching me through breastfeeding. No matter what time of the night it was she was by my side. Without her I would of stopped breastfeeding. Teesee has a way with babies. My daughter was so calm in her arms. She was able to sleep with my daughter so I could get a much needed nights rest. Teesee is like the birthing encyclopedia! Any questions, worry's or doubts I had she was there to answer them and assure me that I was going to be okay. Not only was she a life saver post birth, she was also someone I could completely confide in. I wish she lived closer to me because I would still be hiring her to help me out, 4 months postpartum."

We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible journey we've had with Teesee . As a husband, witnessing the care, dedication, and expertise Teesee brought to our family's experience has been profoundly impactful. From the very beginning, she exhibited an exceptional blend of knowledge and composure, ensuring both comfort and confidence through every stage of birth and postpartum.

Teesee’s approach goes far beyond professional; she has an innate ability to connect on a personal level, making her feel like an extension of our family. Her support and guidance were indispensable, and the relationship she has built with us, and especially with our son is something truly special.

Choosing to work with Teesee was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we ever made. Her presence during this pivotal time in our lives has left a lasting impression, and we are beyond grateful for everything she has done for us. It's not every day you meet someone as remarkable as Teesee, and we know that our son will always have a special bond with her. Thank you, Teesee, for being so rad and for everything you've done to make our journey into parenthood as beautiful and memorable as it has been.

“Words can’t describe how amazing TeeSee was as doula. During pregnancy, labor, and birth she was always a strong support system. She was beyond knowledgeable, calm, confident, and loving, so I never once worried about giving birth because I knew I was in the right hands.

She made both my husband and me feel confident that she would know what to do when the big moment came and thereafter. She always had myself, my baby and my husband’s best interest in mind.

Because of her I was able to accomplish every wish on my birthing plan and can confidently say I had a beautiful birth. My husband was able to care for me, our dogs, our home, and be prepared for the moment our baby would arrive thanks to TeeSee’s help.

TeeSee is an advocate who remains calm yet instills confidence and urgency at the same time. The last thing any woman needs is for others around her to be loud, anxious, or intense. She reminds you to listen, trust, and honor your body and what it was made to do, and ignore the rest. She is a breath of fresh air in the midst of pain.

Myself and my husband would highly recommend her. She was always available and knowledgeable when we needed her (and still is there when I need her- 4 months post partum!) and is an easy going, loving person. She’s crossed the threshold from “doula” to “family.”

PS. I always tell her, “you have the most important job in the world,” because she does. And she’s THE BEST at it.”

If you are searching for a doula in Orange County, please stop looking. Call Teesee!

I had no idea what a doula was or what kind of value they would bring to the table prior to my own pregnancy. I knew I wanted a home birth, but I figured a doula was just an added unnecessary expense. My midwife suggested I just set up a call with Teesee to find out about her then make my decision afterward. I am so glad to have taken that advice . So glad, in fact, that you should also set up a call with Teesee.

Our call went about 30 minutes and Teesee explained her extensive experience with babies and pregnant women. What really sold me was she will come to visit your home prior to and after the birth. She’s full of helpful tips and tricks to move labor along and she’s a listening ear when you’re newly postpartum, your baby won’t stop screaming, and all you want to do is cry. Teesee is a mother and grandmother herself. She gets it.

Teesee is a wealth of information recommending health providers, mom groups, or even talking points when you are advocating for yourself or your new baby. My husband and I both text her questions and she will happily send over articles, book recommendations, and her two cents on the topic. She’s great to know when you’re a new parent.

I had a rough labor and delivery, but I am so incredibly grateful to have had Teesee along for the ride supporting both me and my husband. I truly cannot thank her enough. She’s equal parts friend, mom, and birth consultant and everything you need to and through your labor and delivery. She books up fast so call her now!

“Teesee is a gift. My husband and I felt peace knowing that Teesee would be there with us during labor with our first child. We opted for a hospital birth and felt strongly that we needed an advocate with us. We met with several doulas; and as soon as we met Teesee we knew she was who we wanted to have there with us. I successfully had an unmedicated all natural delivery at Hoag Irvine with Teesee by our side. In addition to our birth experience, Teesee has been a lifesaver postpartum with doing a Costco run for our family and helping with me learn breastfeeding positions. Teesee is a lifesaver! Very knowledgeable and she absolutely loves what she does. It comes from her heart and my husband and I really like that about her.”

-Lindsey

“My experience with Teesee has been nothing but spectacular and amazing. When we first met her, my first impression was how professional, polite, knowledgable  and accommodating she is. Teesee is not just any childcare provider, she brings a lot of knowledge and experience on the table. She was very gentle with our four months old daughter. She also helped us to understand our daughter’s cues and act accordingly. Teesee is an amazing person and I highly recommend her. We are really blessed to have met her - she took extremely good care of our baby.”

— Priyanka & Vighnesh

“Teesee was such a blessing at our home birth! She knew when to help, anticipate my needs, & was there when my husband or I needed some extra encouragement, but also knew when to step back & give us our space in such an intimate setting. Her support throughout our birth was only surpassed by her guidance after, with her professional background & own personal experiences, we were able to pick her brain about so many important topics new parents usually don’t think about. She gave us so many incredible tips for our newborn & connected us to endless resources to continue our education. Whether this is your first pregnancy or beyond, Teesee will absolutely add value to your journey before, during & after your little one arrives.”

— Rachel & Ryan

“I met Teesee while taking one of her amazing Bar classes about 9 years ago. She was so loving and open, I felt comfortable and shared some of my health concerns with her after class. She promptly offered to help me and took me under her wing like one of her own children. She is truly one of the most selfless, loving, and all around incredible human beings I have ever met. She helps without asking for anything in return. She loves unconditionally and without judgement. She is extremely knowledgeable and well read when it comes to the human body and health. She has always been there for me when I needed help with anything concerning my health. But more than that, she’s always there to lend an ear or a hand when you need her. She is one of my most treasured friends. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her in their corner.”

Teesee is like Mother Earth! Her wealth of knowledge, grounded nature and nurturing energy are invaluable. she is the baby whisperer! I can’t recommend her enough to any expecting parent. she helped me take care of my wife (recovering from a c-section) the first few weeks out of the hospital, took care of our newborn, and helped us get some much needed sleep through those early nights. teesee really helped us so much. i am so glad my wife arranged to have teesee with us by our side, i couldn’t have taken care of my new baby and wife without her and will undoubetedly work with her for every other child we have in the future.

— Dillon

“What’s not to love about Teesee? I barely know where to start. She was with us as a PostparTum doula and my husband and I feel like she is an actual angel (and baby whisperer!!). Teesee was with us on our first night home from the hospital, and several nights and days thereafter. Her kindness, support, strength, guidance, and overall knowledge was wildly invaluable to us as first time parents. Her gentle and nurturing care helped me so much when my body was recovering and healing from a relatively traumatic birth. I found it amazing how she could help a recovering mama so much, and at the same time help a new baby find it’s first moments in this life with her calm and loving embrace— our baby just adored her! For future babies we will definitely be working with Teesee as our birth doula AND PostparTum doula (we met her too late and already had another doula and soooo wish we would have had her sooner)!! I’m also extremely holistic and conscious about what I put in and on my body, and felt the insight Teesee provided about nutrition and supplements to keep me thriving and healing was outstanding and am forever grateful to her for all of the information she relayed during such a crucial time in our lives. It’s obvious how devoted and educated she is in this field and wish everyone could have her post birth— we almost didn’t bring on a PostparTum doula worried we shouldn’t spend the money but it was the best thing we did and so so worth it— having gone through it I now understand how important a doula is for a woman’s physical and mental well being, and so important for the baby and partner too — even with a supportive and helpful husband there is only so much he can do during birth and those initial moments and sleep deprived nights. I couldn’t imagine my post-birth experience without her… Truly cannot recommend her enough, whether you’re first time parents or bringing in your 4th baby this woman is a miracle worker and beyond helpful!!! Great energy, easy to talk to, so informative, all the things! Thank you Teesee for your invaluable and loving support for our little family. We already can’t wait to work with you again!”

“Having Teesee as my Doula was the best decision I could have ever made! I planned to give birth at home which meant I needed all the help coping through the intensity of labor and Teesee was absolutely amazing. My husband went through a 10 week course with me and was as prepared as possible but when it came down to it, I needed someone who had been through birth before and knew exactly what I needed. She did lots of counter pressure and massage during contractions and it truly decreased my pain to a tolerable level. My husband joked afterwards that she’s stronger than him because she showed him how hard to push for counter pressure and he was having a hard time doing it. She was so supportive and I don’t know how I would have gotten through my labor without her. If you’re on the fence, just let me reassure you that you will not regret hiring her!”

— Kelsey

“Teesee was scheduled to start postpartum care shortly after I gave birth, I delivered 3 weeks early and Teesee made it happen to be with us our first night home. As a first time mom, and someone who’s family lives out of state Teesee was a godsend. She helped me with breastfeeding, sleep, mental support and postpartum recovery. Not only did she help while she was with us- she’s always been a text away when I have a question or concern. The biggest worry was having someone who will love and nurture your baby while you are resting. Teesee fits that description, after seeing my sons smile light up when he sees her. 

— Shelly, Scott & Mav

“One of the best decisions I ever made during my pregnancy was hiring Teesee as my birth and postpartum doula. Her extensive knowledge and experience made such a difference. New moms struggle to get advice from friends and family because it's only what applied to them. Having Teesee allowed me to get advice that was applicable to my situation. She was always a text or call away. During labor she was my rock along with my husband. Knowing that she was our advocate and out for our best interest. Having her postpartum was tremendous. She helped us navigate to new phase of being parents. Most importantly she supported any decisions we made along the way. Focusing on being our support.” 

— Jinda

“As a licensed midwife I have had the opportunity to see Teesee at work first-hand as a Doula professional. She is loving, calm, knowledgeable and quick to learn how else she may assist her clients. It was so nice to see her take care of my clients in whatever way they needed. Whether that was physically with massages, emotionally with words of encouragement, or educationally with advice and techniques for birthing and postpartum and breastfeeding. I loved that she was always open to learning new things, always coming up with new tips for the parents and very joyous with her energy. She has always been very professional in her communications and openly available and responsive to myself and to her clients which I look to as a trusting quality. After seeing her in action and getting to know her, I proudly recommend her to all my midwifery clients and birthing course students. I am so happy to feel confident enough in Teesee’s ability to truly support her clients emotionally, physically and educationally, that I will continue to boast about her and her birth and doula services to all my clients.”
