Blak BRILLIANCE

“As a Doula, Every birth I have worked motivated me more and more. Each time I heard another baby let out their first cry, witnessed a woman become a superhuman, and a father become the proud guardian of his family, this led me to become more passionate about my work. In order to become a midwife under a specific license I had to find a preceptor to apprentice with. However this part of my journey led me to find out how similar a midwife was to a unicorn in places like New York City; they exist but are hard to find. In my research I found it appalling that there wasn’t an existing nationwide, directory of birth workers. There was no “yellow pages” for the services of a Doula, midwife, breastfeeding consultant, or any one pertaining to the Maternity industry. In knowing that a baby is born every 8 seconds in the United States; this was unacceptable to me.”  ~Birthing A New Culture, Yasmintheresa Garcia

What is a Doula?

The word “doula” comes from the ancient Greek meaning “a woman who serves” and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.

Studies have shown that when doulas attend a birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.
