Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood?

You don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re navigating morning sickness, birth recovery, mood changes, the baby blues, or just trying to hold it all together, there’s support for you here. I help mothers like you find relief, balance, and a renewed sense of self while nurturing the bond between you and your baby.

 Our Philosophy

Like a hive, we thrive together.

In a honeybee hive, the most important member is the Queen Bee. Every bee works in harmony to ensure she is nourished, supported, and cared for—because when the Queen thrives, the whole hive flourishes.

At The Therapy Doula, we believe mothers deserve that same hive of care. The journey through pregnancy and postpartum is sacred and transformative. When birthing people are surrounded by steady, loving support, they can rest, heal, and nurture healthy, joyful babies.

Our philosophy is rooted in community care, wisdom, and evidence-based healing. We are inspired by the West African principle of Sankofa which means to “go back and fetch it”and we honor the truth that healing begins when we reach back to reclaim what our ancestors knew:

  • that no one should mother alone

  • that it takes a villages to raise families

  • that collective care sustains life

Through therapy, education, and connection, we are rebuilding the village to blend past wisdom with modern understanding. We partner with families and an integrated network of care providers to form the hive every mother deserves.

When we nurture the caregivers, we strengthen our society. Supporting mothers is not only compassionate, it’s essential for healthy families, thriving communities, and a healed future.
