Happy Mama Healthy Baby Community Doula

Hello! I’m Tamika Banks, a devoted mother to my five wonderful children: Genevieve Alexandria, Jasmine Simone (7), twins Zora Larrieux and Clarence Alexander (4), and Savannah Monroe (3). My journey through motherhood has been both profoundly beautiful and deeply challenging. After six years of infertility, an ectopic pregnancy, multiple miscarriages, and the heartbreak of infant loss, I’ve found my passion in supporting and empowering other mothers on their own journeys.
 
As a stay-at-home mom, I’m dedicated to nurturing my children into confident, smart, and healthy individuals. My commitment to family and community extends to my professional life as well, where I serve as a compassionate and knowledgeable doula. I am passionate about ensuring that expecting mothers receive the education and support they need throughout their perinatal, prenatal, and postnatal experiences.
 
I’m also pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, with the goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Social Work. This pursuit is driven by my profound commitment to improving maternal and infant health outcomes.
 
With a rich background in sales and development, including roles at United Airlines and Make-A-Wish® of Greater Los Angeles, I bring a wealth of experience in client support and care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in political science with a concentration in international relations from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
 
My journey is a testament to resilience, compassion, and dedication. I look forward to supporting, educating, and protecting the next generation of mothers, ensuring they have the best possible start to their parenting journey.
