Honoring ancestral wisdom and evidence-based care to hold you through birth in any setting.

"During childbirth, I received a lot of emotional and physical support. The atmosphere was naturally without complications or stress, the emotions were inexplicable, the support services were undoubtedly the best, the music, the aromatizations, and deep breaths made you feel in a safer and more relaxed place, thanks to Ashanee's support."

Welcome! I am Ashaneé

I am an Afro-Indigenous woman of color and doula dedicated to honoring birth as one of life’s most profound transformations. Birth is far more than a physical event; it is a transformative rite of passage, a powerful threshold where a new life enters the world and a parent is born. While modern care naturally centers on the newborn, my practice is intentionally devoted to you. I believe that healthy, nurtured parents are the true foundation of a thriving family and community.

My work sits directly at the intersection of logic and spirit, bridging clinical research with deep bodily wisdom. As a Lactation Consultant and Community Health Worker visiting families with young children in their homes, I ground my care in evidence-based research, infant feeding science, cultural wisdom, and social health needs. At the same time, I bring a calm, mindful presence to the birth space using breathwork, meditation, and an intentional energetic rhythm to keep you anchored, regulated, and confident throughout your labor.

You don’t have to birth at home to have a peaceful, low-intervention experience. For families birthing in a hospital, whether due to cost, personal preference, or the comfort of having medical resources nearby, I specialize in bringing sanctuary to any setting. From dim lighting and quiet surroundings to unhurried movement and emotional support, I help turn your hospital room into a sacred, low-stress space. Medical intervention can be used intentionally rather than as the default.

Above all, as your doula, you remain my primary client and my main focus. In a culture where attention quickly shifts to the baby, I am here to hold space for your journey, protect your autonomy, and walk alongside you as you step into your power as a parent.

  • Continuous physical, emotional, and evidence-based advocacy during labor and delivery.

    Your birth experience deserves deep presence, clear information, and absolute safety. Whether you are birthing at a hospital, birth center, or home, I support you through prenatal preparation, continuous labor support, and immediate postpartum care. For hospital births, I specialize in bringing the serene, low-intervention feel of a home birth into the medical setting using dim lighting, quiet rhythm, breathwork, and movement. Above all, I hold space for your autonomy, ensuring you feel grounded, safe, and centered as the main focus of your birth journey.

  • Restorative in-home care centered on parental healing, rest, and newborn care.

    The postpartum transition, sometimes referred to as the sacred window, is a delicate, transformative period that requires intentional, focused nurturing. Drawing on my background as a Community Health Worker, my private postpartum care centers on the parent first as the root of the family's health. I offer birth story processing to help you gently unpack, integrate, and honor your labor experience. During our in-home visits, I provide gentle, trauma-informed guidance with infant feeding and lactation, physical recovery, emotional wellness, and infant cues. By addressing your immediate social, physical, and emotional needs, I help you create a strong, healthy foundation for your growing family.

  • Trauma-informed, hands-off guidance for chestfeeding, breastfeeding, pumping, and bottle feeding.

    Feeding your baby should be grounded in reliable evidence, gentle guidance, and complete respect for your bodily autonomy. As a trained Lactation Specialist, I offer standalone, in-depth clinical feeding support in the comfort of your home. I practice a trauma-informed, hands-off approach—I guide, model, and coach you without ever putting my hands on your breasts, empowering you to feel confident in your own body's ability to feed your baby. Whether you are navigating chest/breastfeeding, latch mechanics, milk supply questions, pumping, or bottle feeding, I bridge clinical research with compassionate care to help you find a confident rhythm.

  • Somatic grounding, breathwork, and mindfulness to prepare your body and nervous system for labor.

    Birth requires deep physical endurance and mental stillness. My Breathwork & Birth Preparation sessions combine somatic grounding, guided visualization, and conscious breathing techniques to release fear and regulate your nervous system. Grounded in my training as a certified Breathwork Facilitator and Meditation Teacher, these sessions equip you and your labor support team with practical tools to move through intensity, maintain presence during contractions, and transition into labor with calm, rooted confidence.

“Today is a good day to thank Ashanee, thanks to the experience and ability as a doula, which made me feel sure of myself at the time of delivery, and that day was one more day of beautiful memories. Because today I have my child in my arms. During childbirth, I received a lot of emotional and physical support. The atmosphere was naturally without complications or stress, the emotions were inexplicable, the support services were undoubtedly the best, the music, the aromatizations, and deep breaths made you feel in a safer and more relaxed place, thanks to Ashanee's support. I recommend support in her birth as a doula since she informs you and helps you in labor. My family, today we are very happy with our little baby...”
