Hello & Welcome Close To Home

I'm Tina

A proud mother and surrogate who’s passionate about supporting families through their journey of pregnancy and childbirth. As a doula, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where everyone feels valued and respected. I specialize in helping plus-size women navigate the unique challenges and joys of pregnancy, ensuring they have the support they need every step of the way.

My love for art has inspired me to create beautiful placenta art & belly cast, which is a unique and personal way to commemorate the incredible journey of childbirth. I'm outgoing, loving, and dedicated to making every family feel welcome and heard. I believe in the power of community, and I'm here to be a source of comfort, guidance, and encouragement. Let's embark on this journey together, celebrating every moment with care and creativity.

I'm Holly

A compassionate and understanding professional with a deep specialization in helping individuals and families navigate the challenges of loss. I have a heart dedicated to supporting others, understanding the complexities of grief and the importance of healing in the context of family and community. I always bring a warm, empathetic approach to every situation, ensuring that each person and family feels heard, supported, and cared for.

As someone who values strong family bonds, I am committed to helping families build resilience, strengthen connections, and find peace in times of hardship. I am so excited to start this journey with you, offering support and expertise every step of the way!

I believe that the most precious memories deserve to be preserved forever. That’s why I create one-of-a-kind breastmilk jewelry and keepsakes, made with love, care, and a deep appreciation for the beautiful bond between mother and child. Each piece is carefully handcrafted by me, using your breastmilk to create a timeless keepsake. My jewelry is designed to hold a piece of your story, forever capturing the essence of what the human body is capable of.
