ABOUT
Greetings! Akwaaba!! Hello! I'm Theodora, I'm a first-generation Ghanaian-American Postpartum Birthworker/Doula.
I started my doula practice in 2018 in Brooklyn, NYC, when I trained as a full-spectrum community doula. I come to my doula practice after designing and implementing global and local maternal, child, and reproductive public health programs for over 12 years. Since then, I have supported birthing and postpartum women, people, and their families on their journeys in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Manhattan in NYC, Richmond, Virginia, and now in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area.
My doula practice is also shaped by my West African background. I come from a big Ghanaian family and diaspora community, where community care is how we care for each other through life’s transitions, particularly birth and postpartum. As a postpartum birthworker/doula, I provide culturally-rooted and affirming postpartum education, support, and nourishing services and products to birthing and postpartum people. I have several postpartum packages I offer, so that you can find the right fit for you and your family.
A portion of all my services and products supports black and brown and immigrant women/birthing people and their families across the spectrum of their reproductive needs to have safe, dignified, and loving reproductive experiences.
If you would like to work together, click the link below to schedule a consult session! I look forward to hearing how I can join your team of care to provide you and your family a nourishing and supported postpartum journey.
