Hello, my name is Summer and I was trained by and have been a part of Harambee Doula Care & Holistic Services since 2022. I got into this work because birth is one of the most universal human experiences we can have, and being a part of fostering new life into this world is one of the most beautiful things I have experienced. 

I am passionate about affirming autonomy and empowerment through your birthing journey and transition into parenthood. As your doula, my goal is for my clients and all birthing persons to feel seen, heard, and held through one of the most challenging transitions in their lives. I aim to assist my clients to identify strong and sturdy support networks, to know who is in their community to call on for help. I encourage my clients to strengthen their voices, to feel emboldened to speak up and voice their mental, emotional, and physical needs. I want my clients and their families to feel safe, respected, and valued. 

My role as a doula is to provide care and support. I am an advocate for your wants and needs, and I hope to provide resources and encouragement so families can advocate for themselves throughout and after doula services.
