TONYA MICHELLE
Birth and Postpartum Doula
Founder of Into Being
At Into Being, we are dedicated to supporting the expansion and awakening of those who are birthing—whether it’s a child, a vision, or a new version of themselves.
Our work is to gently hold space for each soul as they journey through the depths of their shadows, stories, and hopes, guiding them toward transformation, healing, and a profound connection to their innate wisdom—their birthright.
We honor the sacred spark of creation, planting soul seeds of intention, sovereignty, and possibility. We inspire the creation of a birth vision that reflects the power and truth within, offering both presence and resources to foster a positive and empowering experience.
Through each step of this sacred process, we hold up the mirror of truth so that others may see themselves with clarity and grace. In honoring the sacredness of womb life, birth, and the postpartum experience, we contribute to the elevation of consciousness and the remembrance that all life begins with reverence, trust, and care.

Even amidst difficult medical decisions, Tonya helped me to remember my deepest desires and empowered me to take an active role. If I did it all over again, working with Tonya would be the first choice I make.”

“Working with Tonya during our first pregnancy was such a special experience we will never forget. Going into the unknowns of pregnancy, it was so valuable to have Tonya by our side, giving us space to be vulnerable and ask any and all questions. Tonya has a warming and calm presence that puts you at ease instantly and that was the type of energy we needed. Thank you Tonya for helping us welcome our baby girl into the world with grace and love!”

“Working with Tonya helped to remove the anxiety and fear of expecting our first child. The experience having someone so knowledgeable and caring available to walk us through every step of the pregnancy really put us in a place to truly focus on the love and joy for the child we were bringing into our lives. Tonya advocated for us in the chaotic delivery room both during labor and after birth. She transformed the delivery room into the environment that we envisioned for welcoming our son. Tonya was a blessing to our birthing and postpartum experience.”

"Having Tonya there to support us through the birthing process and postpartum was one of the best decisions we could have made. She is incredibly kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable, and the sense of confidence and calm she gave us is impossible to quantify. She gave us so many tools to help us maintain a sense of calm. Our experience was great because of Tonya’s guidance and presence. In those very difficult first few postpartum weeks, she provided tangible help that allowed us to get more rest and feel more sure of ourselves amidst a sharp learning curve. We can’t recommend Tonya enough!”

"Tonya’s grounding presence was essential before, during and after the birth of our first child. Each step of the way, she sought first to understand our goal, then helped us to achieve it with her extensive experience and deep intuition. Her strength is equal parts empirical knowledge and spiritual wisdom. She is an absolute pleasure to be around and we couldn’t recommend her more. Such a jewel of a human - she has truly found her calling in life!"

“As two physicians, we approached pregnancy and birth with a strong foundation in medical knowledge—but Tonya brought a holistic perspective that truly transformed our experience. From the very beginning, she offered deep wisdom, presence, and intuition that beautifully complemented our clinical understanding throughout pregnancy and beyond. During what became a long and physically demanding labor, she was our anchor. Her calm, spiritual energy created a safe, centered environment that kept us grounded, even when things felt unpredictable. With her endless toolbox of skills, she helped us tune into the emotional and physiological aspects of birth in a way that deepened our connection to the process—and to each other. Her insights empowered us to make informed decisions throughout pregnancy and birth. We truly believe her presence and strong advocacy helped us ultimately achieve the birth we had envisioned and prepared for. Tonya’s support has continued into the postpartum period; her expertise as a lactation consultant guided us during our baby’s first feed immediately after birth & beyond. She has always been available through a simple phone call or text to answer any & every question postpartum. We are profoundly grateful for her care & cannot imagine transitioning into parenthood without her. Tonya is more than a doula to us—she’s a healer, a guide, a friend, and someone we’ll always consider part of our growing family.”
