There is a sacred invitation in postpartum that our world often rushes past: the call to sit down… and truly rest.

Not just sleep when you can. Not just “take it easy.” But to intentionally practice the psychology of rest, a deep, conscious surrender of the mind, body, and spirit after birth.

Rest is not laziness.
Rest is not a luxury.
Rest is a biological, emotional, and spiritual necessity.

Your body has opened, stretched, labored, and transformed in ways that deserve reverence. Your nervous system is recalibrating. Your hormones are shifting. Your heart is expanding to hold new life. And yet, so many mothers are expected to rise quickly, perform strength, and return to productivity.

But healing does not happen in urgency.
It happens in stillness.

Practicing the psychology of rest means:
✨ Giving yourself permission to pause without guilt
✨ Releasing the pressure to “bounce back”
✨ Allowing your body to lead instead of your expectations
✨ Trusting that stillness is productive
✨ Receiving care, not just giving it

When you sit down, you are not falling behind, you are aligning with the ancient rhythm of postpartum healing.
Your rest teaches your baby safety.

Your stillness regulates their nervous system.
Your presence becomes their first home outside the womb.

So sit.
Soften.
Be held.

Because in this season, rest is not something you earn, it is something you honor.

I had a wonderful postpartum healing experience and I am here to help you experience the same. My 2026 books are open 💜

March 14th is Black Midwives Day 💜 we honor the sacred lineage of Black women who have protected birth, families, and communities for generations.

Before hospitals, before systems tried to erase our ways, Black midwives were the keepers of life, carrying ancestral knowledge, herbal wisdom, and the deep understanding that birth is both powerful and sacred.

Today I want to honor my midwife, Dr. Nana Siti, whose no longer with us, but her wisdom, guidance, and commitment to traditional healing continues to inspire so many birthworkers and families. She inspired us to build . Her teachings remind us that birth is not simply a medical event, but a spiritual passage that deserves reverence, protection, and culturally rooted care.

Because of Black midwives, our traditions survive.
Because of Black midwives, families are supported.
Because of Black midwives, birth continues to be reclaimed as sacred.

To the midwives who came before us, the ones walking beside us, and the ones yet to come, we honor you today and always.

Happy Black Midwives Day. ✨

Girls need their grandmothers 💜

I never had the chance to sit at my grandma Katherine’s kitchen table, hear her stories, learn her recipes, or ask for her wisdom. But I’ve learned that her life spoke loudly long before I could hear her voice. In Des Moines, people knew Mrs. Katherine Bryson, not just by name, but by the impact she made. She was president of Mothers for Dignity and Justice and dedicated her life to uplifting families and fighting for her community.

Sometimes I wonder what advice she would give me, what lessons she would pass down, or what traditions she would have shared. I wish I had those moments with her. Girls need their grandmothers, for their wisdom, their stories, their strength, and the love that connects generations.

Even though I didn’t get the time I wish I had, I carry her legacy with me. And I hope to impact my community with the same courage, compassion, and purpose she did 💜

Don’t give up your power or allow others to take control of your birthing experience. One of the most beautiful parts of giving birth is being present, fully able to feel, witness, and remember it. Don’t let anyone take you out of the game.

An epidural involves using a needle to place a thin plastic tube (called a catheter) into the space near your spine, close to the nerves that send pain signals to your brain. The needle is removed, leaving the catheter in place to deliver medication.

I’ve heard many stories from women who experienced lingering back pain after childbirth following an epidural. Another mama shared that one side of her body went completely numb and the epidural had to be redone. These experiences may not happen to everyone, but they are real, and they deserve to be talked about.

As a holistic Birthworker, I fully support families who choose an epidural. It’s your birth, not mine. What I will always do is make sure you are educated, informed, and empowered to make that decision consciously. I will also remind you that your body is capable of birthing your baby physiologically and un-medicated if that is what you desire 💜✨

Birth is mental.
Birth is spiritual.
Birth is sacred.

Hiring a Birthworker offers support through tools, ancient techniques, and grounding practices that help you prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally to birth in the most natural way possible. Preparation matters. Being open to the full experience matters. Your readiness to receive and trust the process matters ✨

So I’m curious, did you choose an epidural to reduce pain or labor tension? Or because you believed it was simply part of the childbirth process? Did you decline it altogether?

No judgment here. Just conversation, reflection, and truth 💜

A mother is reborn every time she gives birth 💜

At five months postpartum, I did a Motherhood Portrait Photoshoot with , and I felt absolutely beautiful, seen, held, and honored in this season of becoming.

Motherhood deserves to be documented, celebrated, and remembered gracefully.

Treat yourself. Honor yourself. Book your next photo session and capture the woman you are becoming.

Hey beautiful, I’m Shayla! And I’m certified in the following: Holistic Birth & Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Peer Counseling, and Bengkung Belly Binding. I also co-support and train future Doulas/Birthworkers.

In 2016, after giving birth to my first child, something ancient woke up in me.

I was supported by a Grand Midwife of Georgia who believed deeply in preparation, intention, and trust in the body. But truth be told, I procrastinated. I didn’t have the birth supplies I needed, and I felt the weight of that in ways I never forgot.

So I listened to the calling…I created a birth supply business so families, especially those planning to have a homebirth, would never feel unprepared the way I did. I wanted to be the one who made sure everything sacred was already in place before labor ever began.

But seasons change.
Motherhood deepened me.
Birth softened me.
Postpartum transformed me.

Through my own healing journeys, and through walking with other families, I realized that birth is only the doorway, the real work begins after.

Today, my focus is Postpartum Healing & Care, Womb Healing, and ancestral practices that restore the body, calm the nervous system, and honor the transition into parenthood.

I now offer:

✨ Postpartum Care & Birth Education
✨ Belly Binding (certified)
✨ Yoni Steaming
✨ Womb Rubs
✨ Moxibustion Therapy
✨ Virtual Support & Guidance

This is slower work.
Sacred work.
Remembered work.

If you are in a season of healing, integration, or becoming, welcome. You are in the right place 💜

We have a 20 year old & a HBCU College Graduate!!! Time is literally flying by. For those that don’t know, I have a beautiful bonus baby, my daughter Deaira! I came into her and her dad’s life when she was 5 years old—she was my first baby before giving birth to Maya, Sanai, & Kumasi. We are extremely proud of her, she has always excelled academically so it’s not a surprise that she finished High School with an Associates Degree and now College with a Bachelor’s Degree from Spelman College. Next spot is Law School at Howard University 🙌🏾🔥. I love seeing the beautiful woman she is blossoming into 🌸 Happy Birthday “lil bit” we love you 😘🎉🎂
