Turning Pain Into Purpose
I started Lively Womb Birthing because birth became personal to me long before it became my career path. Seeing how close my own mother came close to becoming part of Alabama’s maternal mortality statistics changed the way I looked at pregnancy and birth care forever. Alabama continues to have one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, especially for Black women and families in rural communities. I knew I wanted to be part of changing that.
Too many mothers feel unheard, unsupported, fearful, or alone during pregnancy and birth. My goal is to make sure my clients feel educated, cared for, and empowered every step of the way. I understand how overwhelming it can be trying to navigate appointments, birth decisions, hospital policies, postpartum recovery, and the emotional side of becoming a parent. That’s where I come in.
Support For Every Step Of Your Journey
"Serving families across Alabama"
As a student midwife and doula, I’ve attended births in different settings and continue growing my hands on experience and education to better serve families in my community. I’m also involved in community work and maternal health advocacy because I believe every mother deserves safe, respectful, and informed care no matter where she lives.
Lively Womb Birthing was created to be more than a service. I wanted to build a space where mothers feel safe, seen, heard, and genuinely supported during one of the most important moments of their lives. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or hoping for a better birth experience this time around, you deserve care that makes you feel empowered every step of the way.
