Placenta Encapsulation Specialist
Hi! I'm Denawa Deniece. An herbalist, yogi, mother of 1 human, 2 furbabies and about 60 plant babies give or take. I've been a birth professional serving the Greater Charlotte area since 2019. I came into the birth world after a transformative prenatal yoga teacher training experience that left me with the deepest desire to support women during their own transformative journeys into motherhood.
​
I wear many hats within the birth world + motherhood journey- Birth Doula, Postpartum Support, and Community Herbalist are what I'm most known for.
Additionally, I am a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, Childbirth Educator, Prenatal Yoga Teacher, Backup Nanny, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Advocate, Woman's Advisory Board Chair, and Mentor, alongside a few other specialties of deep interest.
Thank you for being here.

Being a doula is one of the most rewarding roles I have ever had the honor of experiencing. I have served over 100 families in my time here in Charlotte NC. I am a DONA International Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula specializing in energy healing, herbalism, and yoga. I have completed 200-RYT hour training in Vinyasa Flow, 24-hr Advance Prenatal yoga teacher training with a focus on women of color through Black Orchid, and 85-hr prenatal teacher training through Awakened Spirit Yoga. I am inspired by the healing power of plants + herbs and have been formally trained herbalism for both prenatal support as well postpartum support. I support births at both Atrium and Novant Health Hospitals in Charlotte NC. I will travel within 50 miles of my home in Charlotte, NC as a birth doula. I am both a Novant verified and credentialed doula. You can contact and hire me as your birth doula at any point in your pregnancy to support you in birth and childbirth as a doula.
