My name is Chloe-Qabilah, and I am honored to introduce myself as your doula! My philosophy is rooted in culturally grounded and traditional holistic care. I believe that birth is not just a medical event—it is an emotional, spiritual, and transformative journey. My approach centers traditional birthing wisdom, herbal support, and the belief that every birthing person deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered. I am here to hold space for you, uplift you, and ensure that you feel informed, protected, and deeply supported at every step. The services I offer include: • Prenatal support: childbirth education, birth planning, emotional grounding, and preparing you mentally, spiritually, and physically for labor. • Labor & birth support: continuous presence, comfort measures, advocacy, reassurance, and guidance throughout your birthing experience—whether at home, a birth center, or a hospital. • Postpartum care: recovery support, newborn care guidance, lactation encouragement, healing rituals, and nurturing the transition into parenthood. • Traditional & herbal support: incorporating ancestral healing practices, herbal remedies, and holistic approaches to nurture balance, comfort, and wellness throughout your journey. I am truly excited to walk alongside you on this journey. It is a blessing to be invited into such a sacred moment in your life, and I look forward to supporting you!
