About me

My name is Markita Roberts, and I am a dedicated mother of two boys. My journey as a parent has inspired me to focus on educating and empowering families to make informed decisions. I aspire to create an inclusive platform where knowledge can be shared freely, and resources can be provided that resonate with your lifestyle. My motivation stems from personal experiences that highlighted the importance of support, education, and advocacy in the birthing process. I aim to provide emotional and physical comfort, ensuring that parents feel safe and respected in their choices regardless of how they choose to give birth. I recognize that every parent’s journey is unique, and I want to help them navigate their options with confidence and knowledge. I inspire to create an environment where mothers can embrace their strengths, celebrate their bodies and cherish the moments surrounding childbirth. My focus is on the parents and baby's well-being throughout the course of pregnancy and postpartum with a huge emphasis on mental health and self-care and God. Ultimately it is my goal to foster positive childbirth experiences that resonate long after the baby arrives, leaving parents with lasting feelings of empowerment and joy.
