About Omi Doula
Omni means water in Yoruba - a symbol of life, flow, healing, and transformation. It honors the sacred waters of the womb and birth. The place where new life begins and old patterns can be released. The name reflects not only the physical essence of birth but the emotional and spiritual journey of becoming.
At Omi Doula Birth & Wellness, the name is a living connection to my research, identity, and calling.
A practice informed by research. My doctoral research explored how slavery's historical trauma still impacts Black maternal health today. This work is more than academic- it is personal, cultural, and generational.
Omi Doula was born out of that truth: A commitment to restoring what was interrupted- Black birthing traditions, community care, and self-determined Wellness.
