About me

Blessings to you all šŸ¤²šŸ¾ Hello, mamas, papas, and babies! Iā€™m Keonya! I am a traditional birthworker, mother, medicine woman, forest farmer, student midwife, and birth photographer. I am dedicated to providing and teaching true informed consent, advocacy, and genuine autonomous support. I am supportive of all births without judgment of any kind. The birth you seek matters to me! If thereā€™s something I canā€™t help with, I can refer to others. When I'm not doing anything birthy, I love to indulge in earthy things all around me. Whether that's being outdoors, making healing remedies for my family, or cooking from scratch. I'm learning how to sew and practicing more yoga as I learn. We are going back to the Nordic lifestyle where we live on the road in our RV and travel the world, going where we feel called or to visit family. I gave birth to four children of my own but have found myself being a mother to many. I love to read and play football with my family, and I'm a huge foodie! I love to try new things and live for experiences.

Keonya Claybourne has advocated and promoted nothing but informative and helpful information during my pregnancy. She relieved us of any questions we had and made us comfortable. Her energy was electric, warm and pleasant. She was extremely knowledgeable and not only did she answer hard questions she extended grace and LISTENED to our needs and wants. During our virtual visits she was patient and kind and she followed our lead. She supported me and delivered therapeutic communication about breastfeeding and post postpartum self care.

Keonya was the reason I was able to have such a pleasant birthing experience. This was my first baby and he came 5 weeks early so I was very afraid and unprepared. I called Keonya and she talked with such ease it instantly calmed me down and I was able to breathe through the pain. She talked me through my contractions until my epidural came. Iā€™m beyond grateful. Sheā€™s the sweetest Dula you could possibly ask for and extremely informative! Her services have no time limit , she wonā€™t care if itā€™s 4am if sheā€™s awake SHE WILL ANSWER! I love her and canā€™t wait for her to meet my bundle of joy. !!

Keonya stayed with my for the entirety of my 3 day labor. She did her job as photographer, but also provided fantastic emotional support. Her presence was a huge help to me. I would recommend her to anyone!

Keonya was an absolute blessing during my postpartum period. We got scammed by another doula and when I put out a post for help she literally came running over to my house that night. She saved my life and I will forever recommend her to anyone looking.
