| | | | |

Congratulations on the expansion of your family!

My name is Tara Stratton Wallingford and I created Swaykin Doula Services with the hope of empowering mothers and families in the quest for healthy babies, loving homes and the desire to truly enjoy those first precious moments of your child's life. Please feel free to look through this site for information about doula support and anything childbirth or parenting related.

I am a DONA-trained Birth/Postpartum Doula and certified Labor Support Professional through the Academy of Certified Birth Educators and Labor Support Professionals. I live in Kansas City, Missouri with my wonderful family that includes my extremely patient husband, inquisitive little daughter, neurotic dog and grumpy old cat.

"They look so small and frail

but they are so great and magnificent.

They are born of the same womb

that birthed the cosmos

and knitted together the galaxies.

If you could see them as they truly are,

you would be astounded.

You would see not little children,

but dancing clouds of light,

energy in motion,

swimming in an ocean of love.

They are so much more

than what you see.

As are you."
