Birth Services

Tonya Salerno

Tonya has had a passion for childbirth and infant care long before she gave birth to her own children. In 2007, she expanded her yoga knowledge to include prenatal and postpartum yoga. She has worked hundreds of pregnant and new mothers while employed as a yoga teacher at Isis Parenting and helped develop trainings for other teachers. In 2011, after an early miscarriage, during a major hurricane and after 3&1/2 days of labor Tonya gave birth to a healthy baby via unplanned C-section. The experience opened her eyes to birthing as an opportunity for growth and to the unpredictability of childbirth and parenting. In 2015 she gave birth to her second child via an unmedicated VBAC. While laboring the majority of the time at home with a home birth midwife, she transferred to the hospital just in time to push out a healthy 8lb baby. These two vastly different births give Tonya the unique ability to understand the importance of mindfulness and presence in pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

Tonya completed a DONA labor doula support training and postpartum doula training through Pro Doula. Additionally Tonya has completed a year long conscious parenting and meditation course with Dr Shefali Tsabary. And is currently attending Mindful Birthing Child Birth Educator training and will begin offering these services in 2026.
