Beyond A Birthing Experience
If Doulas were a drug, it would be unethical not to use them.- Dr. John H. Kennell
A common question many ask is, “What exactly does a doula do?” Let’s explore the unique and invaluable role of a doula.​A doula is a perinatal support practitioner who offers personalized educational, emotional, and physical support. This care extends to birthing individuals, their partners, and even children during the journey of labor, birth, and postpartum. But a doula’s work doesn’t stop there—support can also encompass fertility treatments, alternative pregnancy care, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery, making their role as versatile as it is impactful.​ The Role of a Doula Doulas provide a deeper, more personalized level of care that bridges the gaps often felt during traditional medical appointments. They are a compassionate presence for answering unasked questions, offering guidance, and being a constant source of reassurance.One of the most significant contributions a doula makes is fostering supportive courage. With a doula by your side, you’ll feel empowered to advocate for your needs, your partner’s needs, or those of your family. Whether it’s guiding you through decision-making, teaching practical techniques, or simply offering a comforting presence, a doula is your advocate in every sense of the word.​

About Me
Memphis is home in every sense of the word! Born and raised here, I’ve always been passionate about supporting my community. Now, as a mother to an incredible kiddo, I’m even more committed to making a difference—especially in birth work.
​
With a Bachelor’s in Psychology (2016) and a Master’s in Social Work (2021), my journey naturally led me to focus on Perinatal Mental Health, a field in which I’m actively pursuing certification. In 2020, I stepped into the world of birth work and trained with Bebo Mia Inc., an internationally recognized certifying body known for its inclusive, evidence-based approach. Through their 16-week Maternal Support Practitioner program, I gained in-depth knowledge on fertility, abortion, birth, and postpartum care, allowing me to serve as a full-spectrum doula for all birth experiences.
My passion lies in reproductive justice, social equality, and ensuring every family—especially minorities—has access to the doula support they deserve. Birth support isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity, and I’m here to help families feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way.
