What families say

Working with Akua was such a lovely and empowering experience! Having her support felt like an essential part of my pregnancy and birth journey — truly something every woman could benefit from. The prenatal visits were grounding and informative, helping us prepare both mentally and emotionally for the journey ahead.

★★★★★ — Molly, 2025-03

As first-time expecting parents, this class was a wonderful experience—and the main reason it was so impactful was because of Akua. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone taking the class take the time to pick her brain. And if you're looking for a doula, you should seriously consider Akua.

★★★★★ — Mariajose, 2025-05

My experience with Akua was unbelievable she was amazing. The support I felt throughout my pregnancy and labor was exactly what I was looking for. ImAnd during my labor I felt like I had a big sister in the room with me.

★★★★★ — Marie, 2024-07

Akua is really special -- as a facilitator for postpartum conversations she is open and warm, and she is particularly wonderful at giving language to the nuanced and difficult feelings that many of us have to manage as we move through postpartum life.
