Happy National Doctors’ Day! 🩺❤️

This chapter calls for a smarter approach to feeling your best.

Did you know?

Tender Gifts is more than a birth center. We are also a wellness center.

At Tender Gifts, we care for women and families through every stage of life, not only pregnancy and birth.

As the body changes, especially after 40, health needs often change too. Weight, hormones, metabolism, and energy can all shift, and those changes deserve thoughtful, supportive care.

That is where our holistic primary care comes in.

We offer:
✨ Nutrition support
✨ GLP-1 and peptide support, when appropriate
✨ Hormone and metabolic care
✨ A whole-body, root-cause approach

Because a woman’s health journey does not end after babies. It continues to evolve.

And we are here for all of it.

Doulas are there to hold the mother. Empower her. Bring together her birth team and family. They are there to mother the mother, so to speak, but with expertise and experience that help comfort and strengthen through the journey of birth. It is truly a beautiful honor to support mothers as a doula.

If you were supported by a doula, how did she and her presence make a difference for you?

We adore the little hands that help us listen to baby, the dads who lean in with quiet confidence, and the beautiful way families show up for one another. 🌿

We believe birth is not a medical event to manage, but a transformative season for the whole family.
Caring for mama, baby, and the people she loves is our greatest privilege. 🤍

Althea Hrdlichka, CPM

As a mother of four, I found my enjoyment and satisfaction during pregnancy was truly dependent on the support I received. I have had four completely different birthing experiences. Some were fulfilling while others fell short. This is why I chose to dedicate my life's work to assist women during pregnancy and childbirth by becoming a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife).

​ I also keep a current certification in neonatal resuscitation and CPR. While homebirth is a mostly natural form of childbirth, I work closely with doctors, chiropractors and other medical providers to bring every element of care necessary to service all of my clients needs throughout their pregnancy and childbirth. I’ve worked with women through both natural and medicated births, and assisted with many successful VBAC’s in the hospital and at home.

I am passionate about providing supportive, gentle and loving care to all my clients so that they may experience the birth they deserve. I look forward to providing care and knowledge to you and your partner as well as a safe and satisfying pregnancy and birthing experience. I cannot wait to meet you and assist you through your journey to a wonderful and satisfying pregnancy and birth.
