I'm Ayanna, but you can call me Yanna or Yanni. Originally from Ohio, I've found my home in Charlotte, where I've cultivated a deep sense of connection with fellow birth workers, healers, and creators.

 With a degree in Health Science and a diverse background in healthcare ranging from Labor and Delivery to Palliative Care, I have always been called to care for others. My journey into birthwork was ignited by a powerful realization during my time in school of the need for birth workers. Learning about the concerning disparities in birth outcomes within my community sparked a deep passion within me to make a difference.This passion led me to my DONA International Doula Training and Spinning Babies.

The more I learned and experienced through my time working in the hospital the more I realized that I didn’t just want to support women in having safer births but in having deeply beautiful, empowering, and connected experiences.

I've dedicated myself to supporting and empowering women through the incredible journey of childbirth. Along with being a  Doula, I offer healing as a Reiki Practitioner, Sound Healer, Yoga Teacher, and sister.  My mission is to provide holistic, compassionate care that honors the mind, body, and spirit of each birthing individual. My focus is on creating positive, empowering birth experiences and advocating for equitable access to comprehensive maternity care.

I have a deep reverence for the beauty and timeless magic of the bridging of spirit and earth that is birth. It's a sacred moment where the ethereal and the earthly come together in perfect harmony, and I consider it an honor to witness and support this miraculous transition.

My approach to doula care is rooted in advocacy, education,  empowerment, and holistic wellness. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or birthing center experience, I provide unwavering support, guidance, and a nurturing presence every step of the way. In addition to my background in healthcare and holistic healing modalities, I'm Spinning Babies trained. This enriching experience has equipped me with invaluable techniques and insights to optimize fetal positioning, promoting smoother, more comfortable births and contributing to safer, more empowering birth experiences

Beyond my work as a doula and healer, you can find me exploring the intersection of wellness, spirituality, and community building. From facilitating workshops to hosting support circles, I'm passionate about creating spaces for connection, healing, and growth.

I believe that every birthing person deserves to feel supported, respected, and empowered as they navigate this transformative journey. Together, let's embark on a path of self-discovery, empowerment, and celebration as you welcome your little one into the world.
