My name is Joanna, founder of Sisterhood Healing Birth Services. I am a mother of two, and it was through my own journey into motherhood that I was led to become a doula and childbirth educator. Guided by God and His Word, I have walked a path of deep healing—finding His peace, comfort, and reassurance in both birth and motherhood. Much of my healing came through the Holy Spirit and the strength of sisterhood. Today, I have the honor of walking alongside women and their families, teaching, and sharing the wisdom I have received. Peace, healing, and a sound, grounded faith are all attainable for your birth journey. I believe that with the right tools, support, and spiritual foundation, women can overcome the challenges of birth and step into motherhood with confidence and clarity.

Recent review

After having a pregnancy that was not like my first for reasons other than health, I received a postpartum herbal bath from Alexandra. The experience was truly exceptional as the way in which she took her time to curate a bath that was specific to me and my needs was barely the pinnacle of my experience. In moments of uncertainty as a mother, whether it is your first or your third, the care you receive matters. Receiving care from Alexandra is an experience within itself that can only be described within a feeling, one that is sweetened with care and someone who is committed to carrying you to the other of your vulnerability. I recommend her services to others as she is an exceptional individual who is serious about her craft and the care of the children in which she assisted in coming into this world. Again, I can not fully put into words what it is like as you would have to experience her services to understand. I can say within a day I was up and walking, and the aches and pain had vanished seemingly overnight after the bath. Simply plain and put she is passionate and dedicated and will show up for you.

My name is Samantha Dorleus, and I’m from Miami, Florida. I’m the youngest of my older siblings, and growing up, I’ve always taken on the role of caretaker for my younger cousins. As my older sister and brother had children, it became second nature for me to help care for my nephews. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I was ready for the journey ahead. Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience of my life! Watching my daughter grow from a tiny baby in my belly to the beautiful little sunflower she is today has been truly incredible. Now that she’s 5 years old, I know I still have so much to learn as she continues to grow, but I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life. With my extensive experience caring for children since a young age, I’ve worked in after-school programs, summer camps, and preschools since 2015. Caring for children is something I’ve always loved and admired. I am now certified as a Doula and look forward to providing services to elevate and advocate for mothers, especially by offering postpartum/prenatal care. It’s my mission to support women as they navigate this beautiful but sometimes overwhelming journey of motherhood. I’m currently a full-time mom and, in my spare time, I enjoy cooking, crafting, working out, and finding new ways to support my daughter’s growth and development. I also love exploring new foods, with Caribbean cuisine being one of my favorites! I’m excited to offer my services and look forward to being of help to you all.

My philosophy is rooted in love, patience, and empowerment. I believe every baby is unique and every parent deserves to feel confident, supported, and rested. Whether I’m helping a first-time parent understand feeding cues or guiding a family through sleep transitions, I approach my work with compassion, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity. I’m also trained in lactation support and currently pursuing my degree in Behavioral Health Science with an emphasis on Infancy and Early Childhood Studies to continue deepening my knowledge and care. My goal is always to create a peaceful environment where both baby and family can thrive.

Cheryl is incredible! As a first time mom, I had no idea what I was doing. I am somebody who needs a lot of sleep in order to function, and my husband has a very demanding job so we decided to hire a night nurse for a few weeks to help us out. Cheryl taught me everything I need to know about how to be a mom to my daughter. She was so helpful that we ended up keeping her for three months! By the time Cheryl left, I felt fully confident and taking care of my daughter (who slept 12 hours straight a night thanks to Cheryl.) You can see and feel how much Cheryl loves her job and loves babies. I will be forever grateful to her and will be having her back for any future babies 🤍

Choosing Dayna as my doula was one of the most empowering decisions I made during my pregnancy. I was planning a freebirth and wanted someone by my side who not only respected my autonomy, but also deeply understood the spiritual and instinctual nature of birth. Dayna was that person—and so much more. From the beginning, she held space for my choices without judgment. She offered guidance rooted in wisdom, experience, and deep trust in the birthing process. Her presence gave me the confidence to lean fully into my body and my baby, knowing I was never alone in the journey—even though I chose to birth without medical assistance. Dayna was calm, intuitive, and hands-off in the best way, always available when I needed her but never imposing. She brought peace into the space and honored every aspect of my process, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’re seeking someone who will walk beside you with reverence, respect, and belief in your power, Dayna is that guide. She doesn’t just support birth—she honors it as sacred. I am forever grateful.
