We have a few open spots left in our summer edition of the Soothe Your Nerves Anxiety Support Group! Virtual sessions start tomorrow: Wednesday, May 21 at 6:30 pm via Zoom.

Soothe Your Nerves is a 6-week no-cost virtual anxiety support group that draws upon the strength, courage, and culture found in Black Women's friendship networks. We have adapted this support group from the Soothe Your Nerves book and curriculum that was created by a Black psychologist; Dr. Angela Neal-Barnett, to provide Black mothers and birth givers with a space to speak their truth, to be heard, embraced, and received in a loving, relatable way that supports, encourages, and empowers.

5 virtual sessions will take place on Zoom on Wednesdays, May 21, 28, June 4, 11 & 18. Our closing session will be an in-person session on June 22, 2025 in Austin, TX.

- Open to Black pregnant & postpartum (up to 18 months) community members
- Active participants who attend most of the sessions also get 8 sponsored individual therapy sessions with Black therapists
- Childcare and food provided at the in-person session

COMMUNITY CHAMPION AWARD:
Ebony Williams will be honored with the Community Champion Award at the Rooted In Community Summit.

Ebony is a certified childbirth doula, herbalist, holistic wellness + childbirth educator, and maternal health equity advocate who approaches birth work with deep ancestral reverence. She believes in honoring the body’s innate wisdom, creating sacred spaces for Black birthing bodies, and supporting the natural rhythms of labor. Her work is rooted in the understanding that birth is not just a medical event but a transformative, spiritual, and deeply personal journey. As an herbalist and the owner of June and Sage- Herbal Apothecary and Wellness, Ebony integrates natural wellness modalities with modern care, offering natural support for reproductive health, postpartum recovery, and overall well-being.

She is passionate about reconnecting birthing people with ancestral healing practices, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to navigate pregnancy and childbirth with empowerment and ease. Beyond her hands-on work as a doula, Ebony serves as a childbirth educator and holistic wellness instructor, sharing knowledge that bridges evidence-based practices with intuitive, ancestral wisdom. She is particularly passionate about maternal health equity, advocating for systemic change to address the disparities Black women and birthing people face within clinical settings. Whether through advocating for policy change, education, or direct care, she is committed to shifting the landscape of maternal health toward one that is more just, inclusive, and centered on the needs of the community.

With a holistic and heart-centered approach, Ebony walks alongside birthing people and families, ensuring they feel supported, informed, and in full autonomy every step of the way. Her work is a reflection of her deep commitment to restoring birth as a sacred rite of passage, fostering healing, and uplifting the voices of those often left unheard in maternal health spaces.
