Tashina Benning

Doula

My name is Tashina and I am a birth Doula, childbirth educator, Mother and proudly passionate woman about all things pregnancy, birth & baby. I am fortunate enough to be a parent to two amazing little boys, born six years apart. I had the privilege of giving birth in a wonderful local hospital with midwives as well as at home with amazing midwives. I am fortunate to have experienced two very positive, life-changing, but very different births. Their differences and the way I was supported by both of those life events have made me a strong advocate for support and education during our pregnancies and births and the times following.

I encourage women to take great interest in being informed and invested in the quality of their maternity healthcare and prioritizing their needs by having access to smart, kind, capable professionals who can support a family welcoming their baby. I am a strong voice within our community and feel fortunate in every way to hold the space that I hold. Partially due to my passion, and partially due to my insatiable quest for knowledge, I am the doula I was so inspired to be only a few years ago when I began my professional birth worker journey. The road has been everything I hoped it to be. Read more

    Tashina is the most supportive, intuitive, incredible birth coach. From her prenatal visits to her comforting presence during labor and delivery, to her responses to endless texts regarding breastfeeding and lactation, she has served as the single most helpful presence during this journey into motherhood. We are so lucky and grateful to have found her to help through this magical and taxing time.

    I learned about Tashina through the sacramento ICAN group on FB and liked her before I met her, just based on her contributions and participation in the group.
