Owner and Director, Tamrha Richardson is a highly skilled birth worker with an impressive 18 years of dedicated experience in the field. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of serving over 275 families in various capacities, including as a birth doula, postpartum doula, and clinical homebirth assistant. Currently, she fulfills the role of a Traditional Homebirth Companion, providing essential guidance and wise woman support for women seeking autonomous, sovereign homebirth outside of the medicalized maternity system. Tamrha also provides overnight postpartum care, personalized herbal assessments, placenta encapsulation, sibling care and Sacred Postpartum services.
For those requiring or otherwise seeking hospital-based services, there is a significant need for these families to have the unwavering support of a knowledgeable and compassionate doula. Therefore, in the spring of 2025, Tamrha made the decision to re-open Circle City Birth Services as an Agency, carefully handpicking a team of skilled and dedicated doulas who are passionate about serving local families during their unique birth journeys.
Our Mission
In the journey of childbirth, the importance of emotional support cannot be overstated. Doulas play a crucial role in providing families with information and comfort, empowering them to make informed decisions about their birthing experience. Doulas can assist during labor and delivery, offering both physical and emotional support.
In addition to labor support, postpartum care is pivotal. After the arrival of a baby, families can face significant challenges. Support during this phase can assist with household chores, breastfeeding, and emotional wellness, ensuring that the family adjusts smoothly.
For those interested in alternative birthing options, services such as freebirth and homebirth are growing in popularity. These options can provide a more personalized and intimate setting, aligning with families' values and desires for their birthing experience.
Moreover, placenta encapsulation offers a unique way for postpartum recovery. This service can help with hormonal support and energy levels, aiding in the transition to parenthood.
Education is also a key component at Circle City Birth Services. Childbirth education classes equip parents with vital knowledge, fostering confidence in their ability to navigate the birthing and parenting journey.
Each service is designed with a family-centered approach, ensuring that support is available for every stage of childbirth and beyond, creating a nurturing environment for both parents and their newborn.
