About Me

Hi, my name is Imari, and I’m a DONA-certified childbirth and postpartum doula dedicated to ensuring that every birthing person and family feels supported, empowered, and informed throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. With a background in sociology and gender studies, I bring a culturally competent, trauma-informed, and holistic approach to birthwork, ensuring that families—especially those from under-resourced and marginalized communities—receive the care they deserve.

​​

The Problem

Many expecting parents feel overwhelmed, unheard, or unprepared for the realities of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. Systemic barriers to maternal healthcare leave BIPOC families, LGBTQ+ parents, and low-income communities at higher risk for negative birth outcomes. New parents struggle with sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, postpartum recovery, and mental health concerns—often without the support they need.

​

The Solution

As a doula, I provide emotional, mental, physical, and educational support tailored to each family’s needs. My services include:
✔️ Prenatal & Birth Support – Personalized birth planning, advocacy in medical settings, labor support, and partner coaching.
✔️ Postpartum & Newborn Care – Overnight care, feeding guidance, postpartum recovery support, and mental wellness check-ins.
✔️ Culturally Competent & Trauma-Informed Care – Respecting diverse birth traditions, supporting survivors of trauma, and advocating for equitable care.
✔️ Fertility & Family Planning Support – Guidance through IVF, egg freezing, surrogacy, and pregnancy loss.
✔️ Corporate & Institutional Support – Workplace lactation consulting, parental leave coaching, and maternal health education for hospitals and nonprofits.

​

Why Work With Me?

I bring compassion, expertise, and inclusivity to every birth journey. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating postpartum, or balancing work and new parenthood, I ensure that you feel heard, validated, and fully supported every step of the way.

Let’s create a birth and postpartum experience that centers your needs, honors your choices, and ensures you feel safe and empowered.
