I’m a maternal wellness professional, doula, educator, and community advocate who supports women and families through the emotional, physical, and spiritual transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and grief. My work is rooted in the belief that people do not need to be “fixed” in vulnerable seasons—they deserve to be heard, supported, informed, and cared for with dignity.
My calling to this work is personal. When I gave birth to my daughter, I experienced a traumatic birth that left me feeling more like a number than a person. My birth was augmented through an induction and ultimately became an emergency C-section. In the middle of that experience, my father-in-law was in the ICU at the same hospital, transitioning from this world.
My husband and our family were holding two sacred realities at once: welcoming new life while preparing to let go of someone we loved. It was a season filled with fear, grief, uncertainty, and profound change. In one of the most vulnerable moments of my life, I felt unseen.
As a motherless woman who had just brought her own little girl into the world, I deeply needed a village. I needed people who understood that postpartum is more than physical recovery. It is an emotional, relational, spiritual, and identity-changing transition. Yet the support I needed was not readily available.
I have spent much of my life advocating for Black women and girls, and my own experience made that commitment even more urgent. I knew too many women were navigating pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and motherhood while carrying the weight of being overlooked, unsupported, or expected to be strong without being cared for. That realization compelled me to pursue life coaching and deepen my work in maternal wellness.
Today, I create compassionate spaces where women and families can slow down, tell the truth about what they are experiencing, and receive support that honors the whole person—body, mind, relationships, culture, history, and spirit. Whether you are navigating the transition into motherhood, postpartum overwhelm, a traumatic birth, perinatal loss, grief, or another major life shift, I offer support without judgment or pressure. I also create wholistic workshops as well as well being consulting and coaching for organizations who care about creating whole environments for whole people.
My goal is to help you feel seen, grounded, informed, and connected to the care and community you deserve.
