Meet Dannah
Dannah has a BS in Biology and Chemistry from Howard University, an Army Veteran, a certified WA MA-P, and has 10+ years of combined experience working in research and clinical science healthcare settings. During February and March of 2017, she experienced several extraordinary life transformation events, which resulted in her accepting her ancestral calling to provide healing as a birth worker. This allowed space to discover her life purpose and her natural gifts - calm, empathic, nurturing, and intuition. After completing her Birth and Postpartum Doula training at the Simkin Center for Allied Birth Vocations at Bastyr University, learning the critical need of black birth workers, and experiencing how childbirth has the power to transform pregnant folks and families on some of the deepest levels, her excitement has grown exponentially more passionate about this field ever since. Her approach to Birth and Postpartum Doula care is grounded in integrative, evidence-based practices, and in working from an equity focus perspective, to provide compassionate education and unbiased, supportive doula services to individuals and families that are in need.
Rooted in education, empowerment, intuition and trust. I believe that giving birth is intuitive, involuntary and primal. I value scared births, evidence-based reproductive facts, advocacy, social justice, women empowerment, unconditional nurture, and trustworthiness.
Dannah is a proud member of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community and is especially enthusiastic about working with families that fall within that spectrum. She is continuously learning and striving to empower and advocate - the need for intersectional, liberational, and decolonal practice approaches to modern birth work, Maternal Mental Health, and supporting PTSD + Trauma survivors. Dannah also helps organize Birth worker community events centered around the collective healing and empowerment of POC communal wellness. When Dannah is not immersed in birth work, she loves spending time with her family, Meghan (Wife), cuddling with her dog Todo, cat Paul and practicing yoga. As an evolved Piscisan, she enjoys studying astrology, exploring cultural healing modalities to learn about the mind, body, spirit, and spending long periods of time in meditation.
