Hey there! Welcome!
I'm Autumn Bessire Tattenham, the proud founder of Sweet Peas Baby, Perinatal Support and Education. I just moved from sunny San Diego to the charming town of Pacific Grove, California. I couldn't be more thrilled to join forces here with my daughter, Ella, to offer our services to new and expecting families in beautiful Monterey County!
Sweet Peas provides comprehensive support for new and expecting families. Ella and I are a mother-daughter team offering expert birth and postpartum doula services, lactation counseling, newborn care, and sibling support tailored to your needs. Additionally, I teach Evidence Based Birth® classes for parents and provide continuing educational opportunities for birth professionals. You can trust Sweet Peas to be your reliable partners, whether you are a parent or a care provider!
Our mission is to support parents by providing trustworthy information, caring guidance, and advocacy as they navigate the adventures of family-building. We aim to create bridges and strive to foster a calm, warm, and welcoming atmosphere that alleviates worries and builds connections during the arrival of a new little sweet pea! We are dedicated to nurturing the joy, safety, and well-being of everyone involved in the perinatal space.
Our heartfelt vision is to create a world where every parent experiences the safety, confidence, and happiness they deserve when welcoming their babies. We understand that this journey is both beautiful and challenging. That's why we strive to create a community where every parent feels truly heard, supported, and connected, and where they can find comfort in knowing that their unique path to building a family is valued and respected. Together, we can foster an environment where every parent feels secure and embraced in their journey.
If you are a new or expecting parent, check out our "Parents" page to discover all our excellent services. Ella and I are both here and ready to help, and I'm excited to offer free 15-minute consultations to chat about the support you might need!
I'm teaching an Evidence Based Birth® childbirth class starting on August 9th, and I'd be thrilled if you joined us! You can sign up by clicking this link: EBB Class
For my fellow birth professionals in Monterey County, let's connect! I'm hosting a professional workshop on August 15th in Salinas, where you can earn continuing education hours. I would love for you to participate in it, so be sure to sign up here: Savvy Birth Pro Workshop
I'm so glad to be here with you! Stay tuned for more info as we get established in our new hometown!
Warmly,

Amazing! It’s impressive to see the comprehensive care and training offered to new/first-time parents as well as those with young children who want support. Plus the Evidence Based Birth training is outstanding!
