Krista Tarantino

Krista is a registered nurse, doula, herbalist and lactation consultant on the central coast of California. She nurtures mothers and families after birth and helps hold and guide mothers to their center while in the vortex of postpartum.

Krista worked in the hospital system for many years and is grateful to have the experience and perspective and also, knew there was a better and deeper way we should be supporting families. She then spent many years studying traditional midwifery, pre and perinatal psychology, and learning from wise women and our plant allies. She is also an Innate Postpartum Care Provider which is rooted in Woman-Centered Physiology and Anatomy, Somatic Psychology and Neurobiology.

Working with the mother-baby dyad has opened her eyes to the importance of conscious health care, postpartum wellness and how centering woman and mothers benefits all humanity. When a mother is thriving, children thrive, families thrive and our communities thrive. Krista also teaches classes to empower woman and mothers to be their most trusted healer through empowering them and teaching about the benefits of plant medicine. She loves gardening and grows herbs to share with her family and clients.
