My name is Najja, and I am a Charlotte-based birth worker whose doula journey began over 20 years ago in Seattle. My background in trauma-informed social work, combined with my lived experience as a teenage mother and having had multiple C-sections, deeply shapes the way I support women. Having lacked strong, compassionate support during the births of my own three children, I understand firsthand how critical this care is for positive outcomes.

I believe birth is profoundly influenced by the stories we carry; our fears, histories, and hopes. My practice centers on helping birthing people connect intentionally to their bodies, validating their emotions, and understanding how past experiences may shape their birthing journey so they can enter labor with clarity and confidence.

I specialize in supporting first-time parents through gentle, attuned care that prioritizes their voice. Advocacy is woven throughout my work; I stand beside my clients as a steady, respectful presence to help them navigate medical environments, articulate their needs, and protect the birth experience they deserve, while also encouraging their own self-advocacy.

My support is grounded in evidence-based information and current best practices, empowering families to make informed decisions that align with their values and goals. I believe every family deserves unbiased information, compassionate care, and the confidence that comes from feeling supported throughout the perinatal journey.

In addition to birth support, I offer daytime postpartum services to help families adjust to life with a new baby. Postpartum care may include emotional support, newborn education, feeding support, recovery guidance, practical assistance, and nurturing care designed to ease the transition into parenthood while promoting confidence and well-being.

I serve families in Charlotte and within a 90-mile radius for hospital and birthing center births, as well as in-home daytime postpartum support. I would be honored to connect for an introductory call so we can explore whether my approach aligns with your family's needs and goals.
