Tonya Schieler began working with children and families at a young age. After becoming a mother to three children, her passion grew to include supporting parents as they welcome life-changing tiny humans into their lives and homes. Tonya started her doula career as a birth doula and loves supporting parents through the awe-inspiring process of bringing a baby into the world. She chose to continue her training to include postpartum care, allowing her to extend her support, care, and encouragement into the amazing new world of bringing babies home.
Tonya is a certified Birth Doula (Well-Rounded Maternity), certified Postpartum Doula (CAPPA), and a Hypnobabies trained Hypno-Doula. Her additional trainings include Spinning Babies training and a Breastfeeding Workshop for Doulas. Tonya's comprehensive training and experience equip her to provide exceptional support to families during both birth and the postpartum period.
Tonya loves to see parents empowered, supported, encouraged, and informed, so they can make their own choices and be themselves as they experience both birth and the adjustment to bringing a baby home. "Babies are miracles, no matter how they get here, and I love being a tiny part of their story," she says. Tonya's dedication to her clients and her passion for supporting families make her a cherished part of many birth stories.
Tonya enjoys cooking homemade food and loves the challenge of sneaking in extra veggies and healthy ingredients while still making it taste great. She truly can’t imagine anything greater than loving on babies and spending time with her no-longer baby children. In her free time, she enjoys running and reading a good book. Tonya's hobbies reflect her commitment to health, wellness, and family.
