I prayed to have twins, not knowing what that meant, but through that experience my eyes were opened. As a woman, I feel so blessed beyonds words to have the ability to carry life. Each of my birthing experiences have revealed to me the true conception of how fragile yet powerful pregnancy, and birth truly are.

An SMC Full Circle Doula, Licensed Hair Stylist, Trained Massage Specialist, Baker, Mama Toni is the woman who does it all. Born on the southside of Chicago and raised in Southern california, Mama Toni has developed a unique love for building community where she finds herself. She is mother to four, identical twins, one daughter, and one son, grandmother to two boys and two girls and a guiding force and loving light to all of them. Toni’s work in building community around birthing women and expecting families began long before her formal training in the field, but as she stood by the side of her 6 sisters in the births of over 15 nieces and nephews. Toni has been drawn to and committed to motherhood and to women at whatever stage of the journey they find themselves in.

If I wasn't born to be a mama, I don't know what I else I could've been sent down here for. I love every part of being able to call myself a mother.
