Embodied by Me

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.
