Dear Black Woman,

This path you've chosen or found yourself along—birth, and everything she delivers—is near. She is welcoming you into her presence for the very first time, or yet again.

Our journey on this soil—both in historic and modern times—longs for exclusively-crafted light, an intimate walking alongside, a wisdom from one who has gathered knowing, one who has gone before. That nourishing, bespoke guidance is here for you. And ease is yours to behold.

    I am forever grateful for you. This experience was everything I dreamed and prayed for. I couldn't have done it without you. God has blessed me with a wonderful family that supports and loves me and you have been another extension to the family. I love you and thank you so very much!

  • Morgan W.

    Given the statistics around Black Maternal Health and being a first time mom, I wanted all the support I could get. I interviewed a few local doulas but upon talking with Kris, my husband and I knew she was the best fit right away. We were so thankful to have her guide us through.

    I want to thank you for the support and assistance you gave my daughter in her delivery room. I appreciate the love that you showed to her husband and me - making sure that we were both involved in the process, too. Much love to you! May God bless you and your family!

    Kris was so encouraging, brought in a photograph of my late mother which really personalized the experience for me in such a deep way. She really helped to make this birthing experience so incredible, magical, and unforgettable. We appreciate her and all that she does for her clients. I will continue to sing her praises!
