what people are saying
You went above and beyond our expectations and we couldn't have done it without you.
We thought we knew what we were in for and we were very wrong, so having a knowledgeable, calm, and supportive person like yourself to be on our team was a huge help.

Hi, I'm Tenáj!
My name is Tenáj Ikner, resident xennial “scrunchy” mom. I am deeply committed to walking alongside parents-to-be and new families as they navigate the transformative journey from preconception to postpartum.
My goal for Elevate Maternity is to help you embrace this experience with confidence, knowledge, and joy, ensuring this story is one you'll cherish forever with someone who’s got your back.
Since 2015, I've been dedicated to women’s health and wellness. This journey has grown in tandem with my understanding and lived experience of motherhood, family, and community. I've also healed my postpartum health struggles with the solutions I use in my practice.
With a passion for empowering women through their motherhood journey, I bring years of personal and professional experience and a holistic approach to perinatal health. My background includes certifications in fertility coaching, childbirth education, doula services, and postpartum nutrition and transition coaching.
I developed the KISS Framework to provide busy professional women with practical, sustainable solutions that fit seamlessly into their lives. I aim to ensure that every woman I work with feels confident, supported, and prepared for each phase of motherhood.
But this story isn't about me – it's about how I can support you.
I have guided many women through the intricate twists and turns of pregnancy, birth, and those early postpartum days. They have learned to walk confidently through these life-altering moments, and so can you.
Your journey is unique and significant. It's a passion and privilege to stand beside you, to be your rock in times of uncertainty, your calming presence in moments of intensity, and your unwavering source of support.

What people are saying...
"The most important part of the support was being able to ask you questions that my medical provider was unable to answer in my short office visits. You took a lot of time to explain things to us and did not push us towards one decision v. another but provided information that helped us make informed decisions."
GRACE P.
"For me, it was literally invaluable. One thing about me is I know what I don't know and I'm not afraid to admit it. I was onboard about getting a doula from the very beginning, when I learned all the things a birth entails. For a guy, it can be overwhelming because most of the time we are not going to know what to do even if we sit in on all the classes and read all the books. It's very freeing that you can just be there to assist someone that not only knows what they are doing, but has extensive training to do it. And the best part is a good doula will let you be as hands on or as hands off as you want so you feel you are still a part of the process and that's what you did."
