Harmonious Birthing, LLC.
Doula - Doula Trainer/Mentor - Herbalist - Apprentice Midwife
After having my 1st child, I entered a world I never knew existed. Since then, my passion has always been to help others when it comes to health, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc. Birth-work is my calling. During my 2nd pregnancy, I was engulfed in the desire to get to the bottom of the mortality rates in women during childbirth, especially women of color. As a black woman, I resonate with this because my life was once on the line, and I want to prevent that from happening to others. I truly believe that knowledge is power, and I want to give this knowledge to people across the world. As a Doula & Apprentice Midwife, I am privileged to help the birthing community and their families achieve the experience they desire. I am proud to offer support to families both in the Houston area and virtually.

HARMONIOUS GETS FEATURED IN VOYAGE HOUSTON MAGAZINE
DeShaun, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
While giving birth to my 1st child, I had a worse than negative experience, and almost became a statistic in regards to maternal mortality. Black women in the US are 3-5x more likely to die in and after childbirth than our counterparts – no matter our health, education, or income. The reason behind this points back to racism, implicit bias, and institutionalized racism.
​
My passion since then has always been to help others when it comes to health, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc. I learned that my story was like so many others. I want to put an end to preventable maternal mortality, educate the masses, and end the crisis the Black Birthing community is currently facing. Birth-work is truly my calling. During my 2nd pregnancy, I was engulfed in the desire to advocate for myself and learn through studying, Midwives, and Doulas about every aspect regarding my body, my rights, and my birth.
I went against all odds and had a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), and beat the statistics. As a Doula,
I believe that knowledge is power, and I want to give this knowledge to the birthing community across the nation........
