Talia Daniels
Talia Daniels is a certified Birth Doula through Birth Arts International. She is a mother to two boys, ages 8 and 2. Her first pregnancy occurred during her senior year of high school. During that time she felt like all odds were against her, so she made sure to enroll in a teen pregnancy support/birth preparation group. With great attribution and with the help of her village she was able to graduate from Charter High School for Architecture and Design a few months after giving birth to her first child. Soon after she obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Industry Management and Merchandising at Philadelphia University.
Doula work inspired her during her second pregnancy. Although she was satisfied with her first birth experience she knew with her second she wanted things to go a lot differently. She challenged herself and strengthened her knowledge on birthing concepts and techniques and was able to have a “natural childbirth” without medical interventions. She also was able to maintain breastfeeding with her youngest for over 2 years compared to her first experience. She was so elated during her journey within Motherhood and comparable outcomes that she felt it was her purpose to support others along the way! After becoming a certified Birth Doula she has since obtained certifications in lactation support to assist with breastfeeding. She’s also recently received her 200-hr Yoga Teacher certification with Studio 34 to be able to provide physical support to women during their pregnancy and beyond. In her spare time Talia enjoys being outside, hand-crafting jewelry, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
