MY REASON WHY
Village Focused
I am dedicated to the important cause of maternal health equity. My background in public health, pre-med biology/chemistry, and experience as a Doula uniquely position me to make a significant impact on the well-being of mothers and their communities. By combining my expertise and personal experiences, I am able to provide holistic support to my clients and work towards improving health outcomes on a global scale.
As a Doula, I have the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures, enhancing my ability to provide culturally competent care. My collaborative approach to uplifting the health and wellness of communities reflects my deep understanding of the social determinants of health and the importance of collective efforts in achieving health equity. Through collaborative work with our community, we strive to not only support individual clients but also contribute to the overall well-being of the community as a whole.
My commitment to enhancing the health and wellness of our community necessitates ongoing education. Therefore, below are some of the training sessions I have completed:
