I am Whitney and pregnancy and motherhood have changed me forever in a million beautiful ways. After years of knowing I wanted to be a healer, I earned a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of New Mexico with the original intention of going to medical school afterwards. I became disenchanted with the medical field and then became a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner as I was searching for how to fulfill my calling in integrity. Birth work finally found me after I became a mother myself and this has become my focus! Within the same year of giving birth, I became a certified doula. I am a lifelong learner who is continuing independent midwifery studies and who is in the middle of Birthkeeping school with Whapio of La Matrona. I have much to offer in my service including with yoga, meditation, essential oils, herbal remedies, homeopathy, and deep anatomical understanding. The biggest thing I want to help women with is learning how to dream big when it comes to their labors and then giving women the tools to make that dream become a bit more possible as a birth coach, educator, and doula/Birthkeeper. I recently had a very blissful labor journey with my second baby and I can't wait to help other women find similarly blissful/orgasmic/ecstatic births of their own!

My name is Gabrilla. I have been working with birthing women for 12 years. Through the years , I have seen a huge need of suport for birthing woman. I am passonate on educating women on the power of their body and how when we step into our given power, birth changes. I hope to help educate women and support their physical and mental needs during pregnancy and birth. If we could just allow our bodies to birth, truama in birth would go down!

Gabriella is by far the BEST doula I have ever worked hired. From her care, compassion, knowledge, wisdom I received from her. It was everything I had hoped for in what I wanted to experience during birth. I felt heard during my entire pregnancy I felt like she knew exactly what I was feeling and going through during the entire pregnancy, labor & postpartum. That in itself is what I felt like makes her care so unique and important and so RESPECTED. Every appointment felt like sweet fellowship. Which is what we all really want in the end. Where the care you receive feels like home. I felt like she deeply understands the Art and beauty of birth. Which is why she brought so much joy to my births & unity to our family at each appointment. Also I received so much care during my post partum period from the foods she recommended to the rhythm of how to handle postpartum. That was something that I really loved about her. She was there for me post partum. Overall this was by far a 10/10 service. I will be back again as she provided more care than the average doula I may be biased but if your looking for the best, someone who cares about you your baby your family. Gabriella is your girl.

I’m am no longer seeking clients at this time.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Lateesha for two of my pregnancies, and I can’t imagine going through the journey without her! From the start, Lateesha’s calming energy and deep knowledge reassured me, even during moments of doubt or fear. With my first experience, she was a lifesaver—helping me navigate the unknowns of labor with her soothing techniques and constant encouragement. I didn’t hesitate to call her for my second pregnancy, and once again, she exceeded all expectations. Lateesha’s support during labor was unmatched—she was my rock and advocate, and I’m forever grateful for her care. If you’re considering hiring a doula, look no further than Lateesha!

I am Tintawi Kaigziabiher, and my family and I live in Northern New Mexico. As a woman of African Descent. I recognize the importance of both science and tradition in uplifting Black and Indigenous communities. My husband and I have five living children. We have also experienced five pregnancy losses. Understanding the impact of personal pregnancy loss and stillbirth among families has inspired me to want to support as many people as possible so they can live to see their child’s birth, first birthday, and beyond. It is equally important that people have support through pregnancy loss. In my day-to-day life, I am an interdisciplinary artist, a writer, Olorisa (Lukumi Priest), Certified Lactation Counselor (ALPP), Certified Birth Doula (CBI), former Certified Trainer (CBI), Neonatal Resuscitation Provider, the Executive Director of the nonprofit ILE IFE, a PAILAdvocate Trainer (Pregnancy and Infant Loss), and the founder of the Our Earth Full Spectrum Community Birth and Postpartum Attendant (CBPA) training program. I am a published author, and my most recent work is a book entitled “The Bead Griot.” My writing and artwork center on giving voice to the experiences of African people living in the diaspora. I have worked in maternal and infant health since 2004 and professionally since 2009. I have assisted midwives, trained with birth attendants in traditional and evidence-based care, worked with families in home and hospital births, trained doulas and full-spectrum Community Birth and Postpartum Attendants (CBPAs), and supported women and birthing people in New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and overseas, both virtually and in-person as needed. In collaboration with several statewide organizations I am part of, I seek to uncover disparities in reproductive health care and, with community members, develop unique solutions to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable yet resilient people.

Hello there! I’m Shala, a holistic birth and postpartum doula for nearly a decade. I am deeply passionate about women’s health and supporting their reconnection to their own innate wisdom through a newfound relationship with food, self-care and the natural world . For 2 years, I studied directly under a midwife as a student and gained extensive knowledge of the clinical side of pregnancy and postpartum that I bring to my practice gently as a resource for parents who are deeply curious about all things birth. I believe that birth and the postpartum period is a wild and individual journey that should be honored as such, held with reverence and a non-judgmental approach.
