Community-Based Doula

Community-based birth work is typically focused on expanding resources to our families who may need it most, but have the least means to access. It is heart-centered work, and it takes a village.

Sales from Keep Birth Beautiful is an extension of my offerings. This provides another way for me to be able to properly support families in need by balancing work provided at discounted rates or pro bono. Buying from this site is a small donation to sponsoring a family feel safe & supported during their birth journey. Profit from sales also help with continued education and connection to resources.

These products are designed to continue the conversation that needs to be heard:

The current state of the The U.S. maternal health rates within the medical industrial complex system is, in fact, a public health crisis!

  • Consultation

    In this initial meeting we will connect to discover and explore how I can assist with your needs along your childbirth journey.

  • Pre-natal Visits

    During prenatals we will cover childbirth basics, comfort measures, address blockages, and empower you with strategies to advocate for yourself in order to create the birthing space you desire.

  • Birth Services

    I will arrive as you are ready for me during your labor to provide support and be by your side as you transition into the beautiful challenge of birth - whatever that may look like! I will stay with you for up to 2 hours post-delivery or through the first latch if breastfeeding in order to provide lactation support. You will then be left to rest and enjoy your newest expansion of your legacy.

  • Post-partum Visits

    I will check in after birth to see how you are adjusting, healing, and resting. We will schedule our home visits where we can review your birth experience and how your passage into motherhood has been, I can answer any questions, or even just hold the baby while you take a moment for yourself before our journey together comes to a close.

About Me

Hi, I’m Liyah—a community-based birth worker serving Central Arkansas as a birth doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, breastfeeding peer counselor, doula mentor, and co-founder and secretary of the Doula Alliance of Arkansas. I’m also a wife, mother, and proud birth and breastfeeding nerd with a deep passion for serving families through one of the most transformative times of their lives.

Here in the U.S.—the wealthiest nation in the world—we have the highest maternal mortality and morbidity rates among developed countries. And in Arkansas, we’re at the bottom of that list. These statistics aren’t just numbers—they represent lives, families, and communities being failed by a system that prioritizes funding over equity and outcomes.

That’s where my work begins.

I’m on a mission to close the gap between providers and families by offering evidence-based education, real options, and accessible resources. I support individuals in becoming active participants in their health and life care—not just by giving them tools, but by standing beside them in moments of uncertainty, power, and transformation.

This work is about more than support—it’s about reclaiming autonomy, creating safer outcomes, and building a future where every birth is honored. We are revolutionizing the way we birth, feed, and care—and we’re taking our power back, together.
