About Tash | Doula, Infant Feeding Supporter, Circle Facilitator & Song Leader in Sheffield
Hi, I’m Tash.
I’m Tash, a Sheffield-based birth and postnatal doula, infant feeding supporter, and song leader. Having navigated two very different births of my own, I learned firsthand how deeply the right support and environment matter during early parenthood.
That lived experience, combined with over ten years of professional group facilitation, shapes everything I do. I am deeply passionate about creating warm, inclusive spaces where people can feel genuinely heard, connected, and less alone.
Whether I’m stepping into your home for overnight care, helping you map out a fourth-trimester plan, or leading a room in song, my goal is never to tell you what to do. I’m simply here to offer emotional steadiness and a calm presence, helping you trust your own inner wisdom through life's biggest transitions.
My approach
My long experience in holding group spaces with care, clarity, and curiosity supports the way I work: listening deeply, offering information gently, and helping you trust your instincts as you find your own way.
My role as a doula is not to provide rigid answers or take charge. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you build confidence in your instincts, needs, and decisions.
Whether we’re meeting one-to-one for postnatal care and fourth trimester planning, working through infant feeding, or sitting together in a song circle, I aim to create a space where you can slow down, be yourself, and feel supported without pressure or judgement.
What matters to me
My work is rooted in connection, compassion, equity, and respect.
I welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, and family structures. Here for every kind of family.
You should never feel that you need to shrink yourself, justify your experiences, or apologise for your needs. I am committed to creating spaces where people feel safe, valued, and supported to show up exactly as they are.
I am trauma-informed, inclusive, and committed to holding spaces with care, integrity, and gentleness.
Training & Experience
Certified Doula (Nurturing Birth, 2026): I trained with Nurturing Birth to provide compassionate, evidence-based support throughout early parenthood. My training focused on active listening, informed decision-making, advocacy, and helping families feel confident navigating their own unique journey.
Infant Feeding Support (Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM), 2026): I completed the ABM Foundation Course, strengthening my understanding of infant feeding and enabling me to offer informed, supportive guidance during the early weeks and months after birth. The ABM describes this training as providing "the knowledge of an informed friend" - someone who offers grounded support and knows when a parent may need specialist care. I have also breastfed both of my own children for 2+ years.
10+ Years as a Professional Facilitator: For over a decade, I’ve worked as a professional facilitator, designing and guiding group workshops, discussions, and reflective spaces. This long practice deeply informs the way I lead Singing Mamas and Wild Women Sing circles, helping me create warm, inclusive environments where people feel heard and supported.
Continuous Professional Development: I am committed to ongoing learning so that the spaces I hold remain safe, inclusive, and responsive to the people I work with.
