A Note from your Doula
Welcome, welcome, welcome. I’m Zuri Davidson, Founder and Owner of uMa Birth Village. I believe that the degree in which a birthing person feels seen, heard and supported during pregnancy, birth and beyond is the degree in which they will recover and smoothly transition into parenthood.
I will be the first to say that pregnancy and birth can bring up lots of mixed-emotions. Maybe you’ve been trying to get pregnant and now that it has happened, fear of loss or not being the perfect parent is blocking your ability to enjoy and live in the present moment. Or maybe you are over-the-moon excited, reading every book you can get your hands on but there is so much to learn and it’s getting to be overwhelming.
You are not alone and all of your feelings are valid—even if your feelings change frequently. I have supported birthing people and families who were right where you are—excited, afraid, and everything in between while anxiously waiting to meet their new baby. Every birth experience is unique to each individual. Together, I am committed to helping you navigate your fears, ease any anxieties around pregnancy and childbirth, amplify your voice to advocate for your birth choices, and gain confidence in your body’s ability to do what it was designed to do—give birth.
When my husband and I welcomed our son it was, both, intense and magical. I not only birthed my son, I birthed a version of myself whose passion for women, childbirth and advocacy would forever be ignited. It was in that moment that the seed for uMa Birth Village was planted. It is with great honor and humility that I bring nurturing doula support to you in your sacred journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
With Love,
Zuri
