Find a Midwife Near Me in Chesapeake, VA

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.

I have worked with all kinds of families and pride myself on my ability to mold to fit the needs of each individual family. I strongly believe that having a village is important so my goal is to provide that village for those that may not have it.

Hi there! I'm Rebekah Niesen, and I became a Certified Birth Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor after birthing 4 kids and breastfeeding them all.

My background includes the various fields of a degree in Microbiology and my first job which was to mentor college students, uniting my interests of research with communication and coaching. I have applied this to being a birth doula and lactation counselor, educating the family in evidence-based best practice to cultivate advocacy empowerment and how it pertains to each individual situation. When I am not serving others, you can find me walking the dog, reading a good book, accompanying my average singing with my average guitar playing, or playing board games with my husband and kids.
