Hi, my name is Aniyla and I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula and newborn care specialist. I created my own business called Rainbow Light with the intention of bringing a sense of belonging, peace, love, and light to women before, during, and after their pregnancy journey. To me, a rainbow represents joy, faith, and promise—a reminder that even in uncertain moments, there is beauty and purpose. At Rainbow Light, my goal is for every woman—of every shape, size, and color to feel welcomed, valued, heard, and deeply cared for throughout her journey. My motto is to bloom in care and beam in love. I want to create a space where you can feel balanced, supported, and able to truly flourish. From a young age, my passion has always been rooted in caring for women, babies, and families. I believe in the strength of the female body and the importance of nurturing and listening to it throughout every stage. Every journey is different, and just because your rainbow may not look like someone else’s does not make it any less beautiful, meaningful, or important. Your experience matters. I am so excited to begin this journey and connect with so many beautiful “rainbows” along the way 💛 Be blessed and bright 🌈 Disclaimer* Please note that at this current time I am in the process of setting up different insurance plans I will take. This does take a while to complete so unfortunately I am not currently able to take that form of payment until further notice. Thank you for your patience.

Aniyla created such a calm, supportive space during our first prenatal visit. She listened without judgment, explained everything clearly, and made me feel confident going into this journey. I already feel more prepared and supported. Her soul truly radiates light and ease. She makes me feel calm even with my pregnancy anxiety. Truly a great listener and a very naturally nurturing young woman! You can tell it is her passion rather than just a career.

When my husband and I were seeking a doula, we initially selected Mylah due to the affordability of her services. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that she consistently exceeded the original scope of her responsibilities. She genuinely demonstrates care for her clients, at least that was certainly our experience. Without delving into excessive detail, employing a doula was a crucial decision for support during this pregnancy. I have historically encountered difficulties advocating for myself with various medical professionals, my family, my workplace, and virtually all aspects of my life. I had grown quite weary of these challenges, but Mylah was instrumental in making this entire journey a success for us. She remained steadfast in her support, never dismissing my feelings, and consistently checking in on my husband and me, even inquiring about our son to see how he was adjusting. We dedicated months to crafting the birth plan, and she provided me with videos and feedback on exercises to prepare my body for the approaching day. When circumstances necessitated a medically induced labor, she maintained her composure. Adapting to the situation and providing the stability we needed for a successful unmedicated labor followed by a medicated vaginal birth. It is safe to say that without her, I do not believe I would have mentally navigated this pregnancy well. Previously, although I couldn't articulate it at the time, I experienced the onset of postpartum depression shortly after my son's birth. This time, despite being connected to a continuous infusion of IV medications, experiencing minor bleeding after birth, receiving significantly less support from other sources, and encountering numerous additional challenges, I can joyfully state that I am thriving, not merely surviving. I am uncertain how the remainder of this year will unfold, but I am confident that I will genuinely cherish the memories of my daughter's birth and newborn days. Thank you, Mylah, for helping me positively reframe my previous birth experience. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. To any of my friends or colleagues who may require a doula, I will wholeheartedly recommend your services.

October 2026

I absolutely loved Mrs. Sabrina . She was very sweet, always available , helpful with resources and physical needs . This was my third pregnancy and I’ve never had a Doula . I heard great things about getting one so I did and as soon as I met Mrs.Sabrina It was a perfect match. I had to be induced for the first time and she helped me with a lot of exercises to get me dilated . I was blessed to not have to do the balloon because of these exercises and getting my body right . I was induced around 12 and had my babygirl by 5 am , thanks to our Doula . Of course the company and help of her coming afterwards also has been a plus . I highly recommend getting a Doula especially Mrs.Sabrina . Thank you so much for your services and kindness.

During a time that is blessing and exciting but also can be stressful and uncertain, Sabrina brought calm and a thoughtful presence into my pregnancy and postpartum experience. I felt immediately that If i was going to share this experience with anyone other than my loved ones it was going to be her! She added to peace and knowledge to a very personal time.

Postpartum care is essential for both mother and baby. It is important to make sure that your mental, emotional, and physical well-being are supported and balanced during this important season. Having an extended village is also incredibly valuable, which is why I chose to invest in a doula during this pregnancy. Mrs. Sabrina Cooper, @from_womb_to_mom, is truly a phenomenal doula. Mrs. Cooper supported me throughout my labor and delivery and served as my advocate during moments when I could not remember certain needs and details included in my birth plan. One of the greatest parts of my experience was the love, care, and support she provided during my postpartum journey. I booked her for two weeks, and during that time, I was able to get much-needed rest, eat nourishing meals, and learn helpful techniques for caring for my newborn. I miss her already! Doulas are needed, and I truly believe we should see more of them supporting families in our hospitals and homes. If you are currently pregnant and located in the Hampton Roads area, please book Mrs. Cooper now! The love, support, guidance, and care that you and your baby or babies will receive will truly make your experience unforgettable. Thank you so much, Mrs. Cooper, for everything you have done for me and my family. Your support has meant more than words can express. May GOD continue to bless you and the beautiful work you do. 🙏🏾🫂👶🏾 Mrs. Cooper captured the hospital picture of my newborn. I think she should go into photography. 🤗 Website: https://www.fromwombtomom.com/
