ISIS G. | Doula in Tampa, FL

Ifadara The Village Doula

    Practice overview

    As a birth worker, My care experience is limited due to previous work within the military. Since switching back to civilian life, my passion and focus on the birth world have taken the center of my life. In 2020, I leaped into faith and began a hybrid program through Jenny Joseph's "Common sense-birth" towards becoming a Licensed Midwife! I provide care from the beginning stages of pregnancy; this includes getting to know you, your family, and your partner on a personal level before birth. My care includes two doulas' during the second prenatal visit so that you're familiar with both myself and my backup doula. Attending your prenatal appointment to meet with your midwife before the big day is essential to supporting your desired birth outcome. I help properly prepare for postpartum care, from meal prep, light housework, organization, sibling care, and traditional birth celebration ceremonies. During the first 24 hours post-delivery, I will honor you with a "victory meal" either prepared by me (menu to be provided) or preferred meal pick up. Two check-ins during the first 72 hours and 4 weeks later. This is to asset moods, changes, and if more help or further support may be needed. Referrals and resources to be provided.

    Care philosophy

    My care philosophy is "Bringing traditions back to birth and healing."
    I am a believer in honoring traditions through prenatal and postpartum care.
    As an Afro-Indigenous woman, my birth work is rooted in ancestral practices and my goal is to remind my clients, you too,
    are here thanks to those who came before you. My care is limited to BIPOC only.

    Birth Support
    $ 1800
    I will offer comfort measures, coping techniques, and constant support to help you create a satisfying pregnancy and transformative birthing experience. I want to get to know you and your birth companion(s) before birth and continuously support you and your loved ones during the birthing experience. I will provide comfort, education, resources, and perspectives to both you and your partner. As your doula, I work for you directly, not for your care provider(s), birth center, or hospital. I will adjust my role according to your needs and seek to promote communication among all members of your birthing team. Before labor and after our initial meeting, I will virtually or physically set an appointment to meet with you and your support team.
