Hi, I’m Siedah Israel, a Certified Labor Doula, Holistic Wellness Practitioner, and Certified Herbalist based in Fredericksburg (Spotsylvania County), VA. I’m a wife of 15 years, homeschooling mother of five, and bonus mom to a 21-year-old. I began my wellness journey by earning a certificate in Massage Therapy from Eastern Virginia Career College in 2018, went on to complete my Doula Certification at Germanna Community College in 2024, and graduated with honors in Herbal Studies from the American College of Healthcare Sciences in 2025. I’m currently in Phase I of my PEP process on the road to becoming a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me homeschooling, exploring outdoors with my children, writing poetry, working on my werewolf novel, or handcrafting natural hair and skincare products. It’s a blessing to walk alongside families with compassion, cultural care, and grounded support during such a sacred season of life.

I cannot recommend Siedah enough. I was TERRIFIED of delivering my baby. I have a lot of birth trauma, both from a traumatic vaginal delivery as well as a traumatic c section. But I wanted to try for a VBAC and take my power back, but my anxiety was holding me back. Siedah was my ROCK. Both during my pregnancy and during labor/delivery. She is full of knowledge, love, compassion. Never judged, always the best listener, and her check ins seriously brought me so much peace. When induction day came, I was terrified. As my contractions got intense, Siedah kept me focused and reminded me of my power. She never judged me when I lost focus and always brought me back to center and respected and supported my decisions. I truly don't think I would have gotten my VBAC without her. Especially with my 10lbs 2oz chunker! If you need a doula, you can’t top Siedah!

Would absolutely hire Siedah again and again! I was super nervous about giving birth (FTM) and she met with me several times before the birth to get to know me, better understand my desires, and connect with me better. During the birth, she utilized a lot of calming, massage skills and holistic approaches to help better transition my birth and calm my body. She is a huge advocate for care, and will not be able to advocate for your needs or pause a room. Our baby went breech during my own birth, and she had many exercises to try to un-breech him naturally. At the end of the day, I chose for an elective c-section because at that point, that is what I wanted, but Siedah was committed to any decision I desired, even if it were to opt for flipping the baby. Her attunement to me allowed me to check in on my desires and needs, and allowed me to think logically and calmly throughout the ordeal.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with my doula, Siedah. From the very beginning of my journey, she was there every step of the way — from preparation and planning to labor, delivery, and even the emotional moments in between. She provided thoughtful suggestions and shared valuable information that helped me make informed decisions with confidence and peace of mind. What truly stood out about Siedah was her unwavering support and encouragement. Even during times when I felt discouraged or overwhelmed, she remained patient, calm, and uplifting. She reminded me of my strength, my rights, and my ability to trust the process. Her presence made me feel seen, heard, and fully supported. Siedah is not just knowledgeable and professional, but also deeply compassionate and dedicated. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt empowered and cared for every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a doula who will stand by your side with empathy, expertise, and genuine care.
