About me

Peace! My name is Shekita and I CAAPA Trained Community Based Birth Doula registered with the State of Michigan’s Doula Initiative. As a Trauma Informed Practitioner, in my experience, birth is transformative and often traumatic, even if it all goes according to plan. How could it not be when the birther literally splits their body into two distinct parts in a matter of hours? Trauma can result when a person fears for their life or the life of someone close to them and for many other reasons. In birth, we’re necessarily close to death because we approach the veil between worlds in order to welcome a new soul into this world. When I serve in this way, I can approach processing birth from a trauma-informed perspective. Trauma-informed means you go slow and acknowledge it takes time to process and integrate. I will be your guide. I am a plant based mommy of three and I love cooking, exploring nature and my city (Detroit) and thrifting in my spare time!
