Bio

Hello! I'm Tennessee Kamanski Dennis, a certified birth doula serving San Diego county. I am a firm believer in the innate wisdom of motherhood, and the perfection of undisturbed, natural childbirth.

I have the upmost belief and trust in women's strength and capacity to bear, nurture and nourish their children. Coupled with a practical knowledge of physiological childbirth, my hope is to share this confidence and inspire mothers to reach their highest potential during what can be a healing and life changing experience. When a baby is born, so is a new mother. When birth is respected and honored, it becomes a powerful transformation.

I felt called to this line of work after a very moving experience caring for my grandfather at the end of his life. After witnessing him leave this world so gracefully, I knew I wanted to be a steward to those who bring life into it. I followed my passion for wellness and caregiving, and discovered the role of a doula. I received my certification from the International Doula Institute in August of 2022, and have been joyfully serving families ever since. After attending my first birth, I knew I was doing exactly what I was meant to.

I was born and raised in San Diego, and live here with my wonderful husband Aaron and our cat, Jibby. In addition to my work as a doula, I am a songwriter and guitarist, and love to cook, hike and read. I'm very interested in bioenergetic nutrition, and I am passionate about family, wellness, and strong communities.

My goal, should we work together, is to empower you with a holistic and ancestral approach to birth and motherhood, and most importantly to ignite your trust in the incredible ability that has been your's all along.
