A Journey Rooted in Experience
Meet Tania Nuezca: Your IBCLC & Bradley Method® Educator
Tania Nuezca, IBCLC, AAHCC
My passion for birth and lactation was forged through my own three distinct birth stories. From a high-intervention first birth to an empowering, unmedicated home birth caught by my husband, I have experienced the full spectrum of birth experiences. These milestones taught me one vital truth: preparation changes everything. Since 2013, I’ve become trained in The Bradley Method®, Spinning Babies, Rebozo use during labor, Neonatal Resuscitation, and Bengkung belly binding. I have taught over 350 couples and attended ~50 births, either as doula support or as a midwife birth assistant. I’m proud to have won Best in Birth 2025 Houston’s Best Childbirth Educator.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and an AAHCC-certified Bradley Method® teacher, I combine clinical rigor with the heart of someone who has "been there." I struggled to breastfeed all three of my children, which is why I dedicated years to mastering the complexities of infant feeding—from tongue-tie assessments to inducing lactation. With firsthand experience with painful latch, tongue ties, and babies not gaining weight and clinic experience with bottle feeding, pumping, history of breast surgery, inducing lactation, I meet you where you are and guide you toward your specific goals.
Tania is married to her best friend of 10 years and they have 3 vivacious children together. Two of those children are deaf and the family enjoys learning ASL and signing together. When she is not reading articles about birth, she can be found chasing her kids around the park or folding laundry. It’s a toss up.
"Tania is sweet and such a calming presence—a great addition to a very difficult yet beautiful process. Anyone would be lucky to work with her! She helped us feel empowered to navigate our own birth story."
— D. Quanttrone
Why Tania Started Teaching
My birth stories are all different from each other. I believe this shapes my teaching. My first birth, I did not know about the Bradley Method®. My mother gave birth in Vietnam without drugs and her only advice was “you just do it”. Because she said she did it, I thought naturally I would be able to and did not consider learning different coping techniques. For my first birth, unable to cope with the pain, I began to hold my breath and tense up. This ultimately caused my labor to stop and I was given Pitocin and the cycle continued. I eventually was given an epidural and my son was born by vacuum extraction.
My daughter, my second birth, on the other hand has a completely different birth story. I had a short, six hour labor. I firmly believe learning all the physical exercises, practicing relaxing, and knowing the best birthing positions sped up the birth and caused me to give birth with ease. I was calm and happy after giving birth. By the time the doctor arrived I had already breastfed and my daughter was sleeping peacefully. He was amazed and commented on how we as a family appeared stoic.
My third birth was a quick homebirth. I was excited to practice everything I had been teaching! My husband caught our last child and we consider it our best teamwork. Both my husband and I noticed a big difference in how I felt after my last two births. Because of the vast differences in my birth experiences, I feel the need to tell every women. What better way than by becoming a Bradley instructor.
