Whole Body Pregnancy

Whole Body Pregnancy Whole Body Pregnancy is a pause. It’s a reflection. It’s an intention. It asks you to consider t I live in Tacoma, WA with my wife a new puppy and our two cats.

My name is Erika Davis and I am a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Yoga instructor serving the Seattle, Tacoma and South Puget Sound areas. I'm a transplant from Brooklyn, NY where I completed my training with Ancient Song Doula Services, an organization focused on training women of color as doulas and making doulas available to parents who may not have considered them. "Kavanah" is the the Hebrew word for the intention or direction of the heart Jewish people speak of as they prepare for prayer or ritual. I chose the name "Kavanah" for my doula practice because I believe that intention or direction of the heart is not just a necessity for Jewish rituals, but also for the ritual of childbirth. I believe the birth and the birthing process should be parent-centered and can be an uplifting experience. I often tell my clients that my job as their doula is not to teach them how to give birth, this is something all of us will instinctively know how to do, but to provide them with as much evidence-based information they need to feel confident in their decisions for the birth itself. My role as your doula is to be a guide and it is my honor to witness and hold space for the families I serve. I have experience working with single parents-to-be, parents over 40, and partnered couples. I also have experience working within the q***r community, within communities of color, for birthing people for whom English is their second language, and undocumented citizens. I am passionate about birth education for all, including those who may feel they are not adequately represented by traditional birthing services. I aim to establish and maintain safety throughout our work together, and I fully support people of color, LGBTQ families and individuals, single people, and couples during each stage of pregnancy. I also have knowledge and experience supporting culturally-specific birth practices of observant Jewish and Muslim families. I enjoy spending time exploring the Pacific Northwest, running, yoga and baking.

We've been conned into thinking we need to be burnt out to rest.
That we need to earn rest.
That rest is a luxury.
I call bull. You not only need rest, you deserve to rest.

You give. And give. And give.
But here's a truth no one talks about enough: Your rest is not a reward, it's a responsibility.

What if taking two evenings a month to reconnect to yourself made you a steadier anchor for everyone else? What if centering yourself becomes the lesson your daughter needs to see to know what she deserves as a woman? What if taking time for ourselves becomes the lesson your son needs to see for his future partner?

Our daughter is one of the reasons I created reAlign. It's a space for release, to reset, and to remember the version of you who isn't just surviving.

Latest chalk works from our 3 year old.
Also, officially done with nursing at 3 years and 9 months. Left b**b quit about a month ago, and Ari stopped nursing regularly so right b**b gave up the ghost two days ago.

In my deep feels.
She's fine.
Duh.

10/10 recommend making herbal tea with your 3.5 year old.

Thanks for interacting with my post! My name is Erika. I'm the Ima to an amazing three year old and a wife to an awesome woman.

This is the last week to sign up for this weekend's Q***r CBE and Postpartum Prep Class! The next will be held in October, so if you're a q***r person and having a baby this spring/summer - now is the time!

No instructor stumbling over pronouns or family structure, no q***rness as an addendum, just a q***r lead, q***r-created childbirth preparation and postpartum preparation class for LGBTQIA+ families.

I created this class over five years ago to fill a hole I saw in the childbirth education sphere. Whole Body Pregnancy understand the importance of the thru-lines of our life experiences as q***r parents, our journey to get pregnant, our experiences as q***r folks during pregnancy, labor and birth, and postpartum. This course doesn't just focus on having a baby, it considers what happened before pregnancy and the life-long postpartum journey.

Registration is open, and FOUR places are remaining in this class. Head to my website to sign up, and I'll see you on Friday!

Hey there! My name is Erika Davis. I'm the mother of an amazing three-year-old Leo, the wife of an amazing Virgo, and the owner/founder/curator of Whole Body Pregnancy. WBP trains birth workers as well as helps to prepare parents for their labor and birth with a focus on Postpartum. Birth is a Moment, Postpartum is Forever. This isn't just a WBP tagline, it's a way of living.

As such, I'm taking a step back from this space to focus on my own reBirth as a mother. I am making space for parents-to-be with CBE classes in April and October of 2025 and holding monthly Full Moon Circles in the reAlign space for mothers. Once-monthly I am holding q***r baby lounge for pregnant folks and people with infants in Tacoma Washington.
