Bringing creativity and comfort to your birth

Hi, my name is Tessa Catto, and I am a certified Full-Spectrum Doula and Childbirth Educator.

I take a holistic approach to childbirth—rooted in both evidence-based science and helping you connect to your intuition. I strongly believe that the empowered path of motherhood begins at birth, and it is my mission to help families feel confident, strong, and peaceful amid the unknowns of labor, delivery, and beyond.

CLIENT LOVE

“I had my dream un medicated vaginal birth. I felt it wouldn’t have been the same if I hadn’t had the support of Doula Tessa! Tessa is a shining star I will be eternally grateful for her presence in the most monumental day of my life thus far! Tessa your efforts at my labor mean the world to me”

- Jessica L

“I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From our first meeting I felt immediately at ease because of how gracefully Tessa is able to strike a balance between connecting with you where you are at and providing realistic and warm education. At our birth, Tessa was such a calming force in the room and just a pleasure to connect with in between contractions. She also played a very important role in preventing a C-section when she suggested a change in position that changed the course of labor. If you are looking for someone warm, down to earth, and full of wisdom, Tessa is all that and more. Since our birth, Tessa has continued to check-in. My husband and I feel forever grateful and bonded to her.”

- Aliza N

"Tessa is truly one of a kind and we feel so fortunate to have been able to experience her magic during the birth of my first child. She was incredibly kind, supportive, light, and a breath of fresh air. She helped us so much during labor - supporting me and my family through the process with movement and such strong intuition in knowing exactly what I needed each step of the way. There are certain moments where I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was quick to help me pivot into comfort during the intense moments of labor, with massages, affirmations, calmness and movements that would lend themselves to helping me progress. She also helped to explain things in real time as they were happening. Tessa is an incredibly pure and genuine person. We feel so connected to her and her practice and she truly has such a heart of gold. We are so happy that she was by our side for such an intimate moment and we’ll cherish her support forever.”

Tessa was unbelievable throughout the entire process. She is the most calming presence, provides exceptional support, and a great advocate throughout the entire birthing process. 10/10 recommend!! Thank you so much for everything you did!

- Justin M

“Tessa was my birth doula and I highly recommend her. I loved my home birth and her support played a huge part in that. Throughout my pregnancy, she always believed I could birth unmedicated and as a first time mom, that helped me feel empowered and strong. My labor started off slow and she reassured me that she would come whenever I needed her. Once things started moving and she got there, her presence was calming and exactly what I needed in the moment. She is highly intuitive, relatable and down to earth. She offered wonderful support to my mom and husband too. I’m so grateful for her!”

-Julia A

“I hired Tessa as my doula with hopes of a natural birth, and from the start she brought a calm, grounded presence that made me feel so supported. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, spiritual, open and deeply intuitive - someone who listens without judgement.

As many pregnancies and births go, mine took a turn: a fractured ankle at 35 weeks, rising blood pressure, and eventually a not so surprise breech baby born via c-section at 37 weeks! While our time together didn’t unfold as planned, Tessa’s adaptability and continued support in the postpartum period made all the difference.

Recovering from surgery and navigating new motherhood with my foot in a boot wasn’t easy, but Tessa visited me several times, offering gentle guidance, care, and a listening
ear. Her presence felt like a gift. By the time our sessions ended, I didn’t just feel supported- I felt like I had gained a true friend. I can’t recommend her enough.”

- Hannah C

“Tessa is a fantastic doula, full of empathy and compassion for every mother she supports. Her clients consistently share how she brings calm, comfort, and confidence to their birthing experience. I have seen the dedication and care she puts into her work, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly supportive presence during birth.”

- Jaymie M

“From the moment I met Tessa, I knew I was in capable and caring hands. Tessa brought an unparalleled level of expertise. Her knowledge of childbirth was evident in my initial consultation. I felt informed and empowered every step of the way. What truly set Tessa apart was her unwavering support and compassion. Her warm, calming presence during labor helped me stay focused and grounded, making the experience far more manageable than I ever imagined.

During labor, Tessa anticipated my needs, providing comfort measures and guidance. Thanks to her support, I was able to have the birth I hoped for, free from fear and anxiety. Even after the birth, Tessa continued to provide invaluable support. She checked in on me regularly. Her guidance as instrumental in helping me establish a strong bond with my baby and navigate the early days with confidence.

Tessa is not just a doula, she is a trusted ally, a compassionate friend, and a true advocate for mothers everywhere. If you are looking for someone to support you through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond, I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
