Hi, I’m Imani!
When I became a mom for the first time, nobody really talked to me about what life would look like after pregnancy. I remember sitting up through those long nights, wondering if I was doing everything right. Somewhere in the middle of figuring it all out, I realized that every day is a chance to be one percent better, and that talking openly with other mothers makes the whole journey feel lighter. That's what brought me to this work. I want every parent I support to step into this new season with a little more grace, and without wondering if they're the only one who feels this way.
Along with being a certified birth and postpartum doula, I'm a Certified Lactation Educator and a prenatal and postpartum yoga instructor. I have a special love for first-time parents, bottle and combo feeding, postpartum recovery, and the emotional side of becoming a parent, all those ups and downs nobody warns you about.
When I come into your home, I bring an open mind and open arms. I always tell my families, no matter what, we'll figure it out together. You don't need to have all the answers. There's no such thing as perfect here, and it's okay to feel vulnerable in this brand-new stage of life. Think of me as an extra set of hands and an extension of your family, someone in your corner on the hard nights and the sweet ones. Families often describe me as loving, laid-back, understanding and always willing to help, and that's exactly who I hope to be for you.
On my last day with one family this year, they gave me a card that said, "Even through the hard nights, we appreciate you so much sticking beside us... It means one thing to nurture a child, but that means a lot to nurture the parents as well." I keep that one close.
Outside of doula work, I wear a lot of hats. I'm a mom, an entrepreneur and a yoga instructor, and I'm studying to become a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy. I love traveling, time with my family, a good shopping trip, and meeting people from all walks of life. I'm always making something, too, whether it's pillows, blankets or a new craft project. And I love mentoring young people who are figuring out their path in the medical field.
Whatever this season looks like for your family, you don't have to walk through it alone. We'll figure it out together.
