Tanya Smith-Johnson is a mother of 6, homeschooler, Navy veteran and military spouse, who always dreamed of helping women and babies have the best birth outcomes and experience possible.. Becoming a mother and birthing naturally and on her terms was empowering. After briefly attending medical school, it opened her eyes and changed the way she believed birthing people could best be supported in their birthing options and choices.
