Meet Your Doula - Compassionate Loving Care, Every Step of the Way
Our Story: Discover the Inspiration Behind Whole Me Wellness
At Whole Me Wellness, our journey began with a vision to empower and support people through one of life’s most transformative experiences: childbirth and parenthood. Founded by Tanya Fielder, who is compassionate about maternal health, our mission is deeply rooted in the diverse and resilient spirit of Detroit. Our founder’s personal experience with childbirth, coupled with a profound understanding of the challenges and joys it brings, inspired the creation of Whole Me Wellness.
Our Philosophy: A Holistic Approach to Birth and Postpartum Care
At Whole Me Wellness, we believe in a holistic approach to birth and postpartum care, focusing on the physical, emotional, and educational support that mothers, birthing persons, and families need. We understand that each pregnancy and birth is unique, and our philosophy centers around providing tailored non-judgmental support that aligns with each person’s individual journey.
Our holistic care includes:
- Physical Support: Assisting with aiding fetal descent, pain management techniques, providing comfort measures during labor, embodiment practices, and aiding in postpartum recovery.
- Emotional Support: Offering a listening ear, emotional reassurance, loving affirmations, encouragement, and respect to help reduce anxiety and increase confidence.
- Educational Support: Providing evidence-based reliable information to help families make informed decisions about their birth and postpartum care, and guiding them through the process with knowledge, understanding, and meeting them where they are.

Meet Tanya Fielder
Hello,
I’m so glad you are here.
My name is Tanya Fielder.
Before starting my career as a birth and postpartum doula, I spent more than 20 years working in Corporate America, where I provided support to CEOs, vice presidents, and business owners. However, my passion for supporting young girls, women, and families began at the tender age of nine when my little sister was born. After serving in this capacity for many years, I decided to commit myself to becoming a professionally trained doula.
I consider being a doula a powerful calling in my life, and I am thrilled to be making a difference. In partnership with Stacy, I also took the initiative to establish a non-profit organization called Community Celebrating Birth. Our main objective is to address the maternal health disparities among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
I understand the crucial role that doula support plays in the life of birthing individuals and their families during such a significant new life experience. Therefore, my goal is to create a community where every expectant and postpartum person feels supported, informed, loved, empowered, and nurtured.
My team and I are excited about sharing our skills, talents, prayers, and evidence-based care with you and your family as a doula. We would love to be part of your journey!
