About Doula Alchemist Healing
Bio
Doula Alchemist Healing is a Black, Queer and Non-Binary owned healing practice. My inspiration comes from my mother’s birthing narrative and having witnessed her navigate reproductive healthcare as a fiercely resilient single, Black mother. I completed my Full Spectrum Doula certification with Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. I am also receiving mentorship from the Commonsense Childbirth Institute and being trained in The JJ Way®, an evidence-based framework to reduce birth disparities.
Q&A
Q: What are your certifications and trainings?
A: In addition to my training with Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings and the Commonsense Childbirth Institute, I also completed an “Herbal Medicine Making for Birth Support” course with Hood Herbalism, a BIPOC community herbal education space that decentralizes colonial ways of understanding plant knowledge. I offer herbal education with my services.
Q: How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?
A: As a doula, I am here to serve as a grounding presence for you, your partner, and your loved ones. I will provide education on comfort measures, support strategies, and child birth to any partner or loved ones who will be a part of your birthing experience. I will also work to understand your partners need to support them during the experience too.
Q: What drew you into working with parents-to-be?
A: I have worked in reproductive justice policy and advocacy for several years before becoming a doula. I was drawn to this work from the recounting of my mother's birthing experience along with the many narratives that have been shared. I feel called to serve as a grounding presence to create more empowering experiences.
Q: Are there any specialities in who you serve? (e.g. home birth, VBAC, etc.)
A: In my healing practice I am committed to uplifting reproductive justice for everyone. Because of my personal background and professional and community experiences, I center Black, Indigenous, people of color, queer and trans people, disabled people, and people living with HIV in my work.
