Tanya Wills
CNM, IBCLC, Owner/Founder of Manhattan Birth

Tanya Wills has been mentoring new doulas since 2011. Over the years as a childbirth educator, doula, midwife and lactation consultant, she became acutely aware of the enormous need for the positive encouragement, skill development, and sense of easy community that was lacking so much after initial training. Manhattan Birth is excited to be that resource you need - offering accessible, convenient, expert-led online support for our community of doulas. Through our lactation courses and doula mentor program, we are delighted to be connected to so many driven, passionate doulas who are purposefully crafting their lives and careers to help new families, while also creating the relationships they need to sustain this important work.
