Hi, I’m tenisha.
Doula, lactation counselor, and birth photographer, and the heart behind Sacred & Rooted. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, seen, and cared for through one of life’s most sacred journeys. My role is to walk alongside you with encouragement, knowledge, and calm presence; whether that’s preparing during pregnancy, standing by your side through birth, caring for your family in the postpartum weeks (yes, even those overnight hours), helping with breastfeeding, or capturing your story through photography.
Sacred & Rooted is more than just doula care. It’s comprehensive perinatal support, rooted in compassion, dignity, and the belief that every beginning is sacred.
My Approach
Every birth, every baby, and every family is unique, and so is the way I support you. My approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and care that feels like having family by your side. I bring evidence-based knowledge, hands-on support, and a nurturing presence that reminds you that you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
Whether I’m preparing you for birth, staying overnight with your newborn so you can rest, supporting your feeding goals, or capturing your story through photography, my goal is always the same: to surround you with steady, loving support so you feel held, empowered, and rooted every step of the way.
Your journey
This is your birth, your baby, your story. You are in control, and I’m here to remind you of your strength and to encourage you to advocate for what matters most to you.
Your way
My role isn’t to direct your path, but to walk alongside you. I’ll guide, support, and advocate for you; always honoring your choices and the way you want to experience this journey.
