Tank Girl doula
I’m using Spotify to pump music into my ears as I work. Lots of music is at my fingertips, and I’ve been using free association to choose what to listen to next. I found myself realizing I NEEDED to listen to the Tank Girl soundtrack (as it is my favorite movie of all time, or maybe second to Beetlejuice).
And then I remembered the time I was in the natal ward of the hospital, having given birth the previous day. Our post-partum doula came to meet us and we were chatting. I mentioned my favorite movie was Tank Girl, and she said, “Oh, I have a song on that soundtrack.”
THAT’S RIGHT. My post-partum doula was Tanya Donelly. I was already high on mama hormones, but that was just an awesome feeling. My daughter is being ushered into the world with two awesome parents, and a member of Belly. Perfect.
That’s Tanya modeling the mobi wrap, and me looking skeptical about the whole thing.
If you think Tanya’s music is great, you should see her be a doula. She rocks.
Hi there,
I’ve heard great things about Tanya as a doula, would you happen to have her contact info? I’m expecting and due in July. Thanks!
Hi Tracey,
I’ve sent along your message to Tanya, if she’s available to contact you, she will!
But perhaps more importantly, she was also a founding member of The Breeders!
