Hi, my name is Tonya Buffington and I am a doula in
Keller, TX. I service all of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I am a
stay at home mom with a 4 year old daughter, a 17 month old son and my husband.
While I was pregnant with my daughter in 2006, I chose to have a natural
birth in a hospital with a CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife). During my pregnancy,
many other women told me their horror stories of birth and tried to scare me out
of having a natural birth. I chose to ignore these stories and to do what I felt
was best for my baby and me. I had my daughter completely natural with no
medical intervention and it was absolutely amazing. Yes there was pain involved,
but after the birth I felt this rush of adrenaline and complete amazement of how
powerful I was. After remembering all of the horror stories of birth, I wanted
to start helping women change their stories for the better.
I view birth as a natural God given ability. I believe with the right education
and support, just about any woman can give birth naturally without medical
intervention, with a few exceptions. I truly believe the more intervention there
is in a birth the more possibility there is to have grim consequences later. If
more women had good experiences like I had, it is possible that birth would no
longer be something people feared but rather something people looked forward to.
