Jahala Walker Birth & Postpartum Doula in Denver, CO
About Jahala
I am a Denver native, mother, massage therapist, certified full spectrum doula, doula instructor, mentor, and overall healer. I offer services for all individuals and birthing families. I have worked with children and families since I was a teenager, and I feel I have always been called into the development and healing of others. I’ve taught preschool, been a nanny, a college enrollment advisor, and now massage therapist and birth worker. As I have gathered these different tools, I realized that there was a huge need to bring holistic health and wellness to the forefront of BIPOC communities, which is where much of my work entails. My time as a doula AND massage therapist has been a truly rewarding experience, as I have had the privilege of building personal and authentic relationships with my clients and families. I enjoy using my knowledge, support, and touch to facilitate comfort in the mind, body, and spirit. I am excited to be pulled in whatever direction is within my purpose around maternal health and overall wellness within the community.

The Traditional Moroccan Closing Bones Ceremony in postpartum is a culturally rich and deeply symbolic ritual designed to support the physical and emotional well-being of a new mother. Rooted in ancient customs, this ceremony involves the use of specially crafted warm herbal poultices and aromatic oils to massage and bind the mother's body. The process aims to restore balance, promote healing, and provide comfort to the postpartum woman, addressing both the physical strains of childbirth and the spiritual aspects of the transition to motherhood. Accompanied by prayers and blessings, the Closing Bones Ceremony fosters a sense of community support, nurturing the mother during this significant period of recovery and transformation. -includeds a full hammam experience with scrub and yoni steam -light massage and closing ceremony -tea celebration of transition *Basic closings without hammam are recommended and can be added for additional fee ($180) if you feel you would like them. *If you had a c-section, you may recieve closing after 6 weeks into your fourth trimester (postpartum).
