🖊️ Guided journaling + reflection
🤎 Safe, affirming sister circle space

This is your time. Your body. Your healing.

Are you looking for doula and/or someone that needs one?

You deserve care that supports all of you, not just your body, but your energy, emotions, thoughts, and spirit.

My doula support is grounded in both birthwork and yoga therapy, using the Kosha model to tend to every layer of your being:

🧘🏾‍♀️ Annamaya Kosha – the physical body
🤲🏾 Counterpressure, movement, and labor positioning for comfort and strength

🌬️ Pranamaya Kosha – the energetic body
🌿 Breathwork, subtle body awareness, and nervous system regulation

💛 Manomaya Kosha – the emotional/mental body
🫶🏾 Holding space for feelings, fears, and inner dialogue with compassion

🧠 Vijnanamaya Kosha – the wisdom body
📝 Informed choices, intuitive insight, and aligned birth planning

✨ Anandamaya Kosha – the bliss body
🌸 Rest, ritual, joy, and the sacredness of your birth experience

My care is also guided by the Yamas and Niyamas, the ethical foundation of yoga:

💞 Ahimsa (non-harming) — creating a safe, respectful space
🕊 Satya (truthfulness) — honoring your voice and lived wisdom
🌼 Svadhyaya (self-study) — encouraging reflection, journaling, and personal growth
🌺 Santosha (contentment) — cultivating peace in the moment, even through uncertainty

This is holistic, heart-led, culturally affirming care for Black women and birthing people, before, during, and after birth.

Bringing life into the world is sacred and you don’t have to do it alone.

As a doula and yoga therapist-in-training, I’m here to support the whole you, and your partner-physically, emotionally, and spiritually through every breath, every contraction, and every step of this journey.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or seeking a calm, grounded presence…..I’m here to walk beside you.

Through the lens of the kosha model, I offer support that nourishes every layer of your being:
Annamaya (body): movement, massage, comfort measures
Pranamaya (breath): breathing techniques to center and ground
Manomaya (mind): emotional support, calming tools, and presence
Vijnanamaya (wisdom): informed decision-making and intuition
Anandamaya (bliss): creating space for connection, peace, and joy

And your partner? They’re supported too, so they can show up grounded, confident, and connected, not just as a witness, but as an empowered part of your birth team.

Let’s co-create a birth story rooted in strength, softness, and deep care.
Your birth. Your way. With loving support.

Now booking for Summer/Fall 2025.
