OUR TEAM

At Most Beautiful W.O.M.B., our dedicated team is focused on empowering Black and Brown mothers and their families through comprehensive support services. We provide birth companion support, doula care, childbirth and lactation education, maternal wellness advocacy, and parent coaching—all through community engagement and outreach. We understand the deep mistrust many marginalized communities have towards the healthcare system, and we are here to provide the tools and advocacy needed to navigate these systems with confidence.

We empower BIPOC and Latinx communities by promoting liberated birth experiences and honoring the 42-day postpartum recovery, essential for early relational health. Our trauma-informed approach includes support through sister circles, empowerment groups, and advocacy, particularly for families navigating the Family Regulation System (CPS). Rooted in community care and service, our mission supports Birth Justice, Black Maternal Health, Black Infant Mortality Prevention, and Black Breastfeeding. We recognize the importance of the first 1,000 days in a mother and baby’s life and work to improve health outcomes for Black and Brown women and girls. Join us in building sisterhood and driving positive transformation in maternal and infant health.
