Tara Mathewson (she/her)

Certified Doula, VBAC, Social Worker

**Tara is currently not accepting new clients.

I'm Tara, a birth and postpartum doula that is also continuing education to focus on perinatal mental health and wellness. I began my love for perinatal care during my career as a Social Worker and my close work with families from all walks of life. It was after my successful VBA2C (vaginal birth after two cesareans), I knew it was my calling to support families in this space. A mom of three, I experienced three very different births. My personal birth stories taught me that it is vital you feel seen, heard, educated and empowered no matter the journey. I believe in supporting choice and birth preference. Whatever aligns with you, I honor. I believe that the body and baby have inherent wisdom that work together. My passion is to help birthing people find that deep wisdom within.

I incorporate my education as a Social worker; being trauma informed, an empath, critical thinker, active listener and advocate into my doula work. I integrate a holistic approach that weaves mind, body and spirit. It is important to me that I help the transition from pregnancy to postpartum go as smoothly as possible for the birthing person and their family. I am an advocate to change the current views and practices of postpartum care. I truly believe that just as much as the birth experience, the postpartum care and support you and your baby receive in the 4th trimester, are just as important. Outside of birth work. I enjoy spending time with my family. Colorado born and raised, I have a deep connection with nature and feel most at peace while outdoors. I love hiking, yoga, live music and cooking. 

I am so grateful to be part of PBC and know you are in loving hands with this team!
