My journey into birth work stems from a genuine passion for supporting and empowering women during one of the most transformative times in their lives. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to equipping women with the knowledge, confidence, and care they need to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with resilience and strength.
Why I Became a Doula
My journey to becoming a doula was rooted in my deep love and care for women, my fellow sisters, and a profound respect for the miracle of birth. I have always been inspired by the strength and resilience of women and felt a calling to support them during one of the most transformative times of their lives.
At Yadah Yahuah – Women’s Health Services, my goal is to provide compassionate, personalized support to every woman, ensuring she feels empowered, respected, and cared for throughout her unique journey. Whether you choose to give birth in a hospital, birthing center, or at home, I am here to walk alongside you, offering emotional, physical, and informational support to help you navigate this sacred experience.
My role is not to replace medical care but to enhance it, advocating for your preferences and helping you feel confident and supported every step of the way. I am committed to ensuring you feel seen, heard, and honored during this incredible journey of bringing life into the world.

My Birth Story
My first pregnancy was a natural one, supported by a wonderful doula. Toward the time of birth, I experienced bleeding, and my partner, under pressure from his family, insisted I go to the hospital. At the hospital, my family stayed connected with me over the phone, and my mother prayed fervently for me. Due to COVID restrictions, my partner was not allowed in the back with me. I felt pressured by the medical team and was physically restrained during my contractions.
Against medical advice, I made the bold decision to check myself out of the hospital and return to my original birth plan. I labored in the car on the way home, and before the birthing pool could even be filled, I delivered my baby in the bathtub. It was an incredibly transformative experience that taught me the importance of advocating for myself and trusting my instincts.
My second pregnancy was with a different partner, and the experience was vastly different. When my water broke, I initially thought I had urinated and sent my partner to work, thinking I had more time. I labored alone at home, first on the floor and then in the tub, but found it very uncomfortable. During this time, I endured physical abuse and a lack of support from my partner.
While waiting for him to return home, I moved to a waterproof mat and continued laboring. My toddler from my first birth was present in the room with me as I delivered my second baby, a son. Both births were completed at home, without complications, and they were a testament to faith, perseverance, and the strength that Yahuah provided me.
