Grand Rising & Welcome to the Village. ✨
My name is Ifẹ́ Olùsọ̀ Ìyè Tuntun. I carry a name that is also an assignment:
🧬to tend what is sacred
🧬to guard what is vulnerable
🧬to restore life where it has been fractured, rushed, or forgotten
If you are here, it is not by accident.This space gathers those who remember that birth, healing, grief, and community were never meant to be separated.
Some know me as Mama Ife. Others recognize the work before they know the name. I am a Holistic Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Student Midwife, Doula Trainer, Death Doula, and Community Builder. I walk with women and families across life’s most sacred thresholds from womb to tomb, from first breath to final transition.
I do not work from trends or algorithms. I work from ancestral memory, embodied wisdom, and lived practice.
I am the Founder & Director of Cherishing Life Beginnings Doula Service and Cherishing Life Beginnings Divine Mother Foundation, Inc.
Through this work, we are actively restoring what modern systems have fractured:
🤰🏾 Birth as ceremony, not crisis
🤰🏾 Postpartum as healing, not neglect
🤰🏾 Motherhood as initiation, not isolation
🤰🏾 Community as village, not performance
This is not branding.
This is not hustle.
This is calling and correction.
We are not creating something new. We are returning to what has always been ours.
