🌿 Welcome — I’m Amanda
As a childbirth attendant, educator and doula for over 10 years, I’ve seen how impactful having support that is nurturing and culturally sensitive can transform a birth experience.
My passion is to help women feel safe, seen, and sovereign during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
💔 The Truth About Birth Disparities
According to the CDC, Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous women are more likely to die from birth or postpartum complications than white women.
This crisis affects women of all ages, income levels, and education backgrounds—and it’s fueled by:
-
Systemic racism in the medical system
-
Implicit bias and neglect
-
Lack of individualized and compassionate care
A Doula Can Change That
When a doula is present, birth outcomes improve dramatically.
We serve as advocates and witnesses; ensuring you receive the care, respect, and attention you deserve.
🌸 Why a Doula Matters
A doula provides far more than emotional comfort. She brings education, advocacy, and grounded presence through every stage of the journey:
-
Fertility: Preparing the womb and spirit for conception
-
Pregnancy: Guiding nutrition, movement, and mental balance
-
Birth: Supporting natural rhythms and comfort measures
-
Postpartum: Nurturing recovery and emotional healing
“When a woman feels supported, her body opens, her spirit trusts, and birth becomes sacred again.”

💬 Important Note
All doulas are non-medical, compassionate childbirth and postpartum professionals.
As a traditional doula, I blend ancestral knowledge and evidence-based wisdom to provide holistic care.
I am independent and unaffiliated with any hospital or organization—my loyalty is always to the birthing woman.
Every Birth worker is unique and brings with them a unique set of skills. In this course/guide I focused on Mind, Body & Spirit as they relate to Fertility, Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum from my perspective and my experiences of over 10 years.
I am excited to share my knowledge with you and I am even more excited to learn from the unique birth workers who take this course and change the world!
If you've been looking for birth information to assist in a birth OR are pregnant yourself, this course/guide was made with you in mind!
It is designed to be completed over a 3 week period. However, once purchased, you will receive all modules at once so that you can go at your own pace.
I provide a list of books and resources, many links to videos and examples as well as journal prompts, exercises and activities.
You will have unlimited email support from me for any questions, comments or concerns.
I am so excited for you on this adventure into the birth world that you are about to enter! The world needs YOU right now! There can never be too many birth workers!
