Currently, I am a registered nurse, doula, maternal healthcare advocate, mental health advocate and health coach.

Your mental health can rest knowing that you have found sistership!
Hi, I’m Ume, RN!
Our Approach:
There has to be a safe space for groups that have been minoritized, even if it must be created by me. The rate at which we are dying in the perinatal period is disgusting. I have had women reach out to me via social media, asking for me to be their advocate. Whether, they were unsure of diagnostic procedures, cord clamping, immunizations, medications, or facilities. While working in private duty nursing, I have taken on the needs of entire families. New diagnoses of high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney disease are debilitating. The fifteen or so minutes that one visits their healthcare provider, is not enough to answer all of your questions. It is not enough time to get you on a healthy lifestyle change of your choice. Through all of this, I realize that there is a great need for us. We need proper healthcare, healthcare advocacy, informed consent with options, and a safe space to voice our concerns, needs, and wants. I am creating a safe space for not only you but myself too.
Know it, Dream it, See it:
We know your fears, concerns, and anticipations. You will be taught tools that you can repeatedly use to ease your mental health no matter where you are in your perinatal stage. You will see the change in your interactions with providers and services after our preparedness!
Doula Mentorship:
Our mentorship is guided towards the care of your family, but also yourself. You will now have access to our Wombberry Doula Certification, suggested tools and certifications, memberships, educational videos made specifically for you, and our online community which includes live instruction with Q& A’s!
Coming soon!
