A little bit about me

I am a devoted wife and mother to 3 beautiful children.

I have given birth at home and in the hospital.

As an ordained minister, I have performed numerous ceremonies of blessing and meaning for couples & families over the last ten years.

My entry into birth work began as a prenatal yoga teacher and soon after became a certified birth doula based in Tampa, Florida.

My professional passion is to educate and advocate for growing families who desire a natural and soulful pregnancy and birth process.

I believe that peace in the world begins in the womb.

WHAT OTHER WOMEN SAY

“This experience is still taking place within and I have not been able to find words. I really appreciate the time and energy put into creating such an experience. Meeting my maiden and having her take the lead was a step that I did not realize needed to be taken. Life has pushed and pulled us all into many directions and places, slowing down and having a day full of love and release was needed.”

Joyce M | WIFE, MOTHER & TEACHER

“Chanel hosts unforgettable experiences that to this day my heart still hums from. Her home studio is warm, welcoming and every corner has an intention. She thinks of every detail of what she wanted my experience to be and offered our class nourishment for the soul and body. I can feel the healing love that radiates from the soil of her home, her land, and her family. I had such a transformational experience with Chanel. I attended her yoga retreat and felt a huge shift inside me that day. She curates and leads you through a journey inside yourself with such a gentleness. I have never experienced anything like her yoga offerings and retreats and plan to sign up for as many as I can. She pours herself into the quality of spiritual space that she holds for others. It is unmatched.”

Elena V | WIFE, MOTHER & SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

“I felt so much love and intention long before I even arrived with the warm and supportive communication before the event. Chanel’s sacred space was the perfect container for healing and I felt her care in every detail. I was moved by her guidance through meditation and our visualization exercise. I enjoyed sitting in circle with other women and holding space for one another. I am mostly inspired by Chanel’s vulnerability and shares as it set the tone for a deeply healing event.”

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during and after childbirth. Research has shown that by having a doula present labor often takes less time, spontaneous vaginal births increase, women are less likely to need medical interventions or a cesarian, and families report higher satisfaction with the overall birth experience.
These sessions are customized to your specific needs and include birth education for a confident labor and delivery. You’ll also learn rituals, techniques, and life-sustaining practices to care for yourself throughout pregnancy and beyond. Each session will be unique to what you are currently experiencing in real time instilling rest, relaxation, and trust in your process. With each session you will walk away with more knowledge, strength, and confidence.
Yes! Birth partners are always welcome to slow down, learn, connect, bond, and enjoy with you in your sessions. We encourage it!
Yes. It is very common for birthers to have a sudden yearning and call to deepen their connection to their body, mind, and spirit once becoming pregnant. You do not need to be religious or spiritual, although if you are that is fine, too. Our work together will meet you where you are at. We trust the timing of your divine unfolding and take things at your soul’s perfect pace.
I’m thrilled and grateful! Thank you for selecting me to serve as your ally in this work. To initiate our official work together, please complete the interest form below. We’ll have a call and be on our way!
Certainly a watermelon. I’m densely connected to Mother Earth due to my human roles and responsibilities as wife and mother. My emotional and mental skin is battle tested, tough, and weathered through overcoming some of the most turbulent life storms. Yet, my true nature is joyful, bright, playful, and full of appreciation for life.
