Tania Nuezca | Parenthood Encompassed
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant & Childbirth Educator
Deaf/ASL friendly
Bio: Tania has been preparing birthing couples since 2013. Unhappy with the support she received during her first birth, her sister encouraged her to take an independent childbirth class. Her second birth was healing and her third birth was empowering. This started her passion for safe, natural when possible, and empowering birth. She has since become trained in Spinning Babies, Rebozo use during labor, Neonatal Resuscitation, and Bengkung belly binding. She has taught over 350 couples and attended ~50 births, either as doula support or as a midwife birth assistant.
She also is an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). Because she struggled to breastfeed all 3 of her children and noticed that the majority of her students did also, she decided to go through the journey of becoming an IBCLC. She has firsthand experience with painful latch, tongue ties, and her babies not gaining weight and clinic experience with bottle feeding, pumping, history of breast surgery, inducing lactation, and more! She has had additional training in inducing lactation (Breastfeeding without birthing from Alyssa Schnell, IBCLC), the low milk supply course for healthcare providers (Lactation Hub), Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad class, Bottle Refusal (Guiding Bottle Breakthroughs class), acid reflux, and breastfeeding with more breast tissue (Beyond the Shape class).
Tania is married to her best friend of 10 years and they have 3 vivacious children together. Two of those children are deaf and the family enjoys learning ASL and signing together. Tania provides lactation services in ASL (conversational skills) and will gladly hire an interpreter if the family prefers.
Trained through AAHCC - The Bradley Method
In person and virtual options, offers group and private classes
Reviews
“From the moment we met Tania, our nerves were put to rest about birth. Throughout the few months of class, Tania taught and shared so much that made us laugh, take note and practice. Each class was informative, and we liked the small group we had! No matter what you take from this class, no matter the birth experience that actually ends up happening, Tania teaches that we have options. This is our birth, and we take control of how we want that! Honestly, without Tania we would have not known very much and truly we are thankful for her. To this day we remain friends and I’m even friends with another classmate! It helps to have a village and Tania is amazing! Each class is engaging and really very fun — my husband is usually very quiet but he took part in class so much! — this definitely isn’t just “mom” driven! Thank you, Tania, for your teachings, kind words and wisdom.”
“I highly recommend taking Tania’s Bradley Birth Class. I took her course because it was recommended by my midwife, who wanted me to be as prepared as possible. I was able to have a homebirth after 2 C-sections and relied heavily on techniques I learned in class. The class teaches not only about the biological processes that happen during labor, but also coping techniques and what to expect. It allows your birth partner to be a part of the labor, which deepens your connection with each other and can be very bonding. The material itself is extremely informative and Tania’s teaching style is so reassuring, comforting and humorous. She makes herself available to her students and is a mother herself, who brings her own labor experience to the table. It is also really nice meeting other couples who are going through the same journey as you. Giving birth naturally is not easy, but it is possible. Taking this class is money very well spent if you are serious about natural child birth”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tania and her Bradley class. I have always wanted to have a natural birth, so I knew, when I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, that I wanted to be as prepared as possible. My boyfriend, Joe and I took her class…and I learned so much! Tania had so much great information for us. She was sweet, completely nonjudgmental, supportive, soft spoken, and always available. I felt so prepared and had so much peace of mind going into labor. I went on to have the most incredible birth experience. It couldn’t have gone more perfectly. I am so thankful this class and I highly recommend it!”
