I believe that as humans we must be “Healthy & Whole” physically, mentally and emotionally. This mantra should apply to expectant mothers as well. Black mothers especially have a higher maternal mortality rate than any other race. My mission is to help close the gap on this disparity so everyone on this journey is left feeling healthy and whole. My personal journey of both pregnancy loss and carrying full term pregnancies was the catalyst that led me to become a birth doula. My Sweet Cadence Doula Services is here to empower, support and educate those who are in their pregnancy journey by creating a space so each birthing person can birth with knowledge and confidence.

Hi! I am a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula. I believe in being a client’s village by providing emotional and physical support, as well as resources.

I am a labor support specialist—“doula”—who is with you during childbirth to help you stay calm and comfortable as you move through your birthing process, give you information about your care and help you achieve your goals. My Background, Education and Philosophy I am Imani Abdul-Zahir. I was born and raised in the inner city of Cleveland Ohio. I am a doula with 27 years of experience and was trained by Birthing Beautiful Communities (a 501c3 non-profit). My philosophy about birth is that it is a normal bodily function governed by biological and psychological mechanisms, and is not a medical condition. Many communities of color have historically been built and maintained around the concept of “it takes a village”. Caring for mother and baby throughout pregnancy and during childbirth is essential for successful societies. Those with knowledge, experience and expertise have an obligation to educate, support and assist. My core values are commitment, compassion, & knowledge. I have a strong commitment to serving the needs of pregnant people in our community through compassion and evidence-based practices. My priorities as a doula are four, to ensure, educate, reassure & elevate. 1. to ensure that my clients receive the best hands-on care, comfort, and assistance during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and recovery. 2. to educate my clients regarding pregnancy, labor, delivery & recovery as well as what they may expect from hospitals and medical staff. Also to provide connections and access to other beneficial resources. 3. to reassure clients that their birth is their own and they have what they need, within themselves, and at their disposal to secure a healthy, safe and positive birth experience. 4. to help elevate clients above their fears, insecurities & expectations using positive encouragement and emotional support. My goals are to help reduce the maternal and infant mortality rate, to help people to have the safest, healthiest birth possible, and to restore a sense of well being to those who are childbearing through careful postpartum care. The first step in getting you the support you deserve is to schedule an intake meeting. During the intake meeting, I will answer any questions you might have, learn about your family needs and how I can best support you.

Hi, I’m Luna! I’m a birth doula and a mom of four with one more little one on the way. My own experiences with motherhood are a huge part of why I became a doula. I know firsthand what it feels like to go through pregnancy and even give birth without the village and support every mother deserves. That experience inspired me to become the kind of support I once needed myself. I’m passionate about making sure moms feel heard, cared for, loved, and never alone throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Breastfeeding support is one of my specialties, and I especially love helping families after birth—whether that means breastfeeding guidance, emotional support, newborn care, or simply making sure mom is taking care of herself too. Outside of doula work, I love spending time with my children and watching them learn, grow, and become their own little people. Motherhood has taught me so much about patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of having someone in your corner. My goal as your doula is to be part of your village and create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel confident, supported, and genuinely cared for before, during, and after birth.
