I am Godis EyeAm a Birth Sister based in Louisiana - As your companion through this transformative journey together we'll activate the Mind. Body. Spirit. Alignment allowing for your most authentic birthing experience. I am your advocate for your sovereign right and capabilities to birthing your way. My belief and mission is Healed Birth! Cultivating in a Healed Earth. When we heal birth, we heal families; Healing Families, Heals Communities. With each and every birth I attend it is my goal to create a safe and sacred birthing environment. Prior to receiving my Doula training with Sista Midwife Productions under the tutelage of the beautiful Sista Nicole Deggins, I have served my community as a birth sister for 10+ years.

My name is Zana Washington and I'm the owner of Zion Doula Services LLC, I've been a birthworker for more 20 years.

My mission as a birthworker is to empower families to make informed decisions about their health and birthing options.

Hello, Grace Jackson here I am the owner of Grace Midwifery Birth Center and a Certified Professional Midwife, licensed in the state of Louisiana . I am committed to offering pregnant women more individualized, intimate care. I believe that a mother should be in control of her birth experience as an active and informed decision maker every step of the way. From the very first appointment, to the moment she holds her baby in her arms, she is in control. Childbirth, when viewed from an empowered and connected frame of mind, has the potential to be a beautiful, transformative, life changing event. I fully believe that birthing is a normal physiological process in a woman’s life and when supported by a healthy lifestyle, little intervention is ever needed. I see myself as more of a birth guardian who walks alongside a mother, making sure she has the utmost reassurance and guidance. Birth is natural and beautiful; it can be a completely different experience when not approached from a fear based mindset. Instead, we choose to approach pregnancy and birth with positive, evidence based information as a biologically normal experience. After a 4 year comprehensive apprenticeship, I earned my Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) license. This credentialing is the national gold standard for midwifery certification. It is only available after demonstrating the experience and skills necessary to attend an out-of-hospital birth. The candidate that passes an extensive exam administered by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM), is required to maintain current certification in adult, infant and neonatal CPR and resuscitation. I am also licensed by the state of Louisiana and recognized by the Board of Medical Examiners as a licensed caregiver. As a midwife, it is my duty to stay up to date with evidence based information as well as ongoing education. To date, I have attended over 270 births.

Peace to all my birthing people. My name is Angelica Rideaux-Williams and I'm a Full Spectrum Doula currently servicing Louisiana. Birth work is my passion, which stems from my experiences. What sets me apart from my colleagues is simply my approach. Each client's care is tailored to their individual needs. This is because each individual's birth experience is different. Your birthing experience with one pregnancy may not be the same as your experience with your next pregnancy. I provide an array of services from prenatal support, birthing support, post-partum support, as well as lactation support.

Hi Everyone, my name is Amara Ali and I am a Full Spectrum Birth Keeper located in New Orleans. I am an avid reader and GirlMom to the most amazingly adorable toddler. As an African-centered full spectrum birth keeper, my journey into birth work began in 2019, with a Black Owned doula training before the pandemic changed the landscape of birthing experiences. I quickly became a passionate birth nerd who is all about birth autonomy, birth justice and advocacy! More recently in 2022 I attended a DONA Certified Workshop, where I re-honed my skills and gained valuable knowledge about supporting women and families throughout the childbirth continuum. I will continue to re-certify every few years to stay updated on the latest research, techniques, and best practices in the field of birth support. I have had the privilege of attending births in various settings, including homes, hospitals, and even virtually, adapting to the changing needs and circumstances of my clients. In addition to supporting women during labor and delivery, I have also worked with families facing fertility challenges, offering compassionate guidance, emotional support, and holistic care throughout their journey to parenthood. During the postpartum period, I provide nurturing support to women and their families as they navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood. Whether it's assisting with breastfeeding, offering practical assistance with household tasks, or simply providing a listening ear, I am dedicated to helping families thrive during this transformative time. My approach to birth work is rooted in African traditions and cultural practices, honoring the wisdom of our ancestors and embracing the holistic nature of birth and motherhood. By offering personalized, culturally sensitive support, I strive to empower women and families to have positive, empowering birth experiences and transitions into parenthood.
