Supporting families through their sacred journey of parenthood since 2017.
Peace! My name is Jemila (pronounced juh-MY-luh) and I am a Full Spectrum Holistic Doula, Herbalist, and Health Educator with a background in Public Health Prevention, nursing assistance, and great community service. I also create all of the jewelry in the shop by hand, and curate the supplemental herbal blends for optimal health and nutrition.
My journey into birth work began long before I realized it was my calling. As a child, I felt an innate pull towards nurturing new life, finding myself naturally drawn to caring for babies with a wisdom that seemed to flow from somewhere deep within.
During my collegiate studies, my eyes were opened to the stark realities of the maternal health crisis that women of color face. As a Volunteer Youth Advocate, I found myself channeling knowledge into action, providing vital education to college students about contraceptive methods and reproductive health. However, it wasn't until I experienced the transformative power of birth myself, in 2015, that I understood the profound need for dedicated birth support and reproductive health education. This personal experience awakened something that had been quietly growing within me for years.
In 2017, I took the formal step into my first doula training. My background in advocacy, combined with my personal birth experience and deep-rooted passion for nurturing, naturally evolved into a holistic approach to women's reproductive health.
Each step of my journey – from that inherent childhood connection to babies, through academic learning, advocacy work, and personal experience – has woven together to create a practice that honors the full spectrum of women's reproductive journeys. Today, my work as a doula represents the culmination of these experiences, offering support that goes beyond the physical aspects of birth to embrace each woman's unique journey.
As a mom of 3, with 2 beautiful (unassisted) home birth experiences, I have found my passions in supporting women who desire to birth holistically with minimal intervention, empowering them to reach this goal.
Empowering Home Births World Wide
My experiences in birth work over the last 8 years has guided me to prioritize assisting families who would like to birth in a community centered birth setting - home, birthing center, RV, nature or any where that’s not in a hospital. My dedication to this passion and revolutionary expression has guided me to opening this service up to the world. No woman should have to birth alone or in fear, and I wholeheartedly believe this.
Wild pregnancies, free births, and unassisted births - nothing is off limits.
What’s a doula?
The word doula is Greek and it means “a woman who serves”.
Typically, the term doula refers to those women who assist others in the sacred transitions of life be it birth or loss. Sol Child Essentials is currently offering perinatal doula support.
