Who I Am:

I am Soulana Amani, a dedicated birth doula, birth assistant, and childbirth educator with a Bachelor of Science in Community and Youth Development and an MBA specializing in Nonprofit Organizations. Since 2019, I’ve been helping mothers navigate their pregnancy and birth experiences, inspired by my own journey as a mother of Trinidadian descent.

My Journey:

When I was pregnant, I didn’t have much guidance. I was young, unsure of my rights, and ended up having a "routine" hospital birth with an epidural. Looking back, I realize how important it is for every mom to feel supported, safe, and informed during pregnancy and birth. This realization led me to become a doula, where I’ve made it my mission to ensure that all mothers have memorable, empowered birth experiences—something I wish I had known was possible back then.

Why I Created This Journal:

I created ‘From Bump to Baby: A Mother’s Reflection Journal’ to help moms slow down, reflect, and connect with themselves during this life-changing journey. By capturing your emotions, writing letters to your baby, and expressing yourself through art, you’re not just creating a keepsake—you’re also laying the foundation for breaking cycles and fostering emotional intelligence in your child, starting from the womb. Pregnancy is a transformative experience, and I believe every mother deserves to feel supported, emotionally aware, and prepared for the path ahead.

Join me in creating a legacy of emotional intelligence and self-reflection—starting with you.
