T’Kia Walterscheid, BS, IBCLC, CLC, Doula | Client Services

T’Kia currently serves the community in the role of lactation consultant (trained in oral habilitation through Masterclass), breastfeeding counselor, and doula.

Born and raised in Oklahoma City, T’Kia is very family-oriented, a loving wife, and travel enthusiast. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science and a minor in African-American Studies. A proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., community and serving have always been core values of hers.

After undergoing many fertility treatments and seeing the lack of available resources for families during this period, T’Kia quickly became interested in ways to support people on their journey to parenthood. It was after a successful round of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the beautiful homebirth of her daughter in 2020, that she dove into becoming a certified doula and lactation supporter. She strongly believes that empowering families to make informed decisions on family planning, pregnancy/labor, and breastfeeding begins with education.

Amaya Johnson RN, BSN, IBCLC, Student Nurse-Midwife | Development Director

Amaya serves as a Registered Nurse, Advanced Holistic Lactation Consultant (in training), IBCLC, and Community-Based Doula. She graduated from Oral Roberts University (ORU) with her Bachelors of Science in Nursing and is currently enrolled in the Doctorate of Nurse-Midwifery program at Baylor University. 

Her interest in perinatal health began at ORU when she first heard about the grave disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes in the United States. With nursing experience in High-Risk Obstetrics and Labor and Delivery, her love and passion for holistic perinatal health and wellness has continued to grow. She believes in the power of women and their ability to grow, birth, and nourish their babies. She desires to be a part of empowering, person-centered, safe, non-judgemental spaces where birth is revered and the sacredness of pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum is restored. She is ecstatic to be a part of the Innovations team and looks forward to serving women and families in the Tulsa area.
