Tekla LOVES everything to do with birth! She started her “birth world” journey in Baltimore soon after her daughter was born in 2011, when she trained in prenatal yoga and doula training and she took over teaching the prenatal yoga class she loved during pregnancy. Tekla learned Reiki in 2014 when she was a birth doula and prenatal yoga instructor. Her clients noticed right away after she learned Reiki, one mama remarking during labor “Your hands feel much different than my husband’s on my lower back!” 

Tekla moved to Colorado in 2015, when she was a birth doula, then postpartum doula, placenta encapsulator, and prenatal yoga instructor. She loved hosting a new moms group at A Mom’s Space in Lafayette for 3.5 years, holding space for new moms to connect with each other, holding an honest, real, vulnerable, supportive and peaceful space where the focus was on mom. She enjoyed watching friendships blossom between new moms during these groups.

She has supported women move through grief from multiple miscarriages, which ended in pregnancy and birth of their “Reiki baby”. When women have had miscarriage loss in the past, the body will tell her and Reiki supports this healing. She loves to support mom and baby through pregnancy and postpartum.
