Tessa Catto, founder of Birth Art and Beyond, is an artist and doula whose passion for birth work was sparked during the pregnancy and birth of her first daughter. She believes deeply that the support a birthing person receives throughout their pregnancy and birth profoundly shapes their transition to motherhood and their postpartum experience.

Tessa combines her love of art, her dedication to encouraging others, and her commitment to providing doula support and childbirth education to create Birth Art and Beyond. Through her work, she offers a nurturing, creative space for both new and experienced mothers, along with their families, as they navigate the transformative journey of welcoming a child into the world.

A strong advocate for community, Tessa enjoys sharing her unique birth art experiences within the birth community. If you’re a birth worker and would like to collaborate, or if you’d like Tessa to host an art-infused workshop in your space, feel free to reach out.

Tessa is certified by Uzazi Village and has trained under renowned birth workers like Mary Sefchek and Debra Pascali-Bonaro. She considers it an honor to witness and support birthing people as they navigate the challenges and discover the beauty in this profound life transition.
