About me

Shalom! My name is ChayilYah Segulah and it means capable women of God and His hidden Treasure! My doula journey started 10 years ago when one of my sisters needed support during her birth journey. She didn't have any support and needed someone to advocate her needs, help her express her fears and to walk her through a new birth. I began studying ways that I could help and ways to answer the questions she didn't understand. My Philosophy Sisterhood~ Village~ Shalom (Peace) This is my philosophy! Birth is ordained and designed to be a normal, natural process that your body was perfectly and wonderfully made to experience. My desire as your birth sister is to support you in a way that allows and encourages you to achieve your goals and desires for birth. I would love to become a part of your village.

Service introduction

My fees for doula services vary depending on the package you choose. There is a deposit to secure your birth month and the remainder can be spread out into a payment plan prior to your baby’s birth. I feel strongly about not limiting someone’s ability to hire a doula based on financial restraints, so I'm happy to talk with you personally about spreading payments out into a plan that works for you.

Embracing Empowerment: My Home Birth Experience: Choosing a home birth was transformative for me. I had the absolute best birthing experience!! I knew what was necessary for me to have a successful birth thanks to ChayilYah's eternal wisdom. We planned for our home birth, prioritizing safety while still honoring our wishes and ensuring both of us as parents and partners knew what we needed to focus on. Like all the methods to cope with contractions naturally and breathing techniques I needed to practice. I felt in control of my experience, making every decision with intention and trusting in my body's wisdom. It was 100% a supportive environment. We formed a cohesive team united in welcoming our baby with love. Even afterwards, she ensured that I got all the nourishment I needed, through herbs, warm meals and tons of rest. I felt extremely pampered and loved to the point of feeling more lively as the days passed. She helped give me the space i needed to gracefully step into motherhood and focus on my desires for the new journey ahead. I will forever be grateful and will always recommend her to any women I encounter who wants a lovely home birth!
