Hi, I'm Lakeira, also known as Indigo—a mother, herbalist, psychology student, birth keeper, and holistic maternal wellness advisor. Through Sacred Mama Wellness, I guide women to adopt a holistic perspective of birth and motherhood, bridging the physical, psychological, and spiritual components of these experiences. This approach empowers them with the resilience needed to thrive during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
My belief that nurturing a mother’s mind, body, and spirit is pivotal to creating a better world, inspired me to pursue a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in maternal health. My mission is to offer women a unique blend of guidance, combining psychological insights with sacred, spiritual perspectives, equipping them with the tools and clarity to navigate their maternal journey with strength and wisdom.
I aspire to be a pioneer in creating a dedicated space for maternal mental health, an area that urgently needs to be prioritized in today’s world. Women hold the future in their hands as they nurture and raise the next generation, yet they are often overlooked and underserved. My mission is to help change that by making maternal mental health a top priority, ensuring women receive the support and care they deserve.
At Sacred Mama Wellness, our purpose is to empower mothers and mothers-to-be by transforming the way they perceive pregnancy and birth. We aim to create a safe space where women can reclaim their natural birthing rights, gain confidence in their bodies, and cultivate mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Through a combination of holistic wisdom and psychological insight, we support mothers in navigating the challenges of pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood, offering alternative perspectives and personalized guidance for their unique journeys.
As a birth keeper, I trace the indigenous, ancestral path of those who ushered new life into the world and tended to the needs of expectant women as an inseparable aspect of our cultural heritage. In contemporary times, the doula role has undergone commercialization, driven by capitalist motives and shrouded in proprietary knowledge. I firmly believe that being a birth keeper is an inherent facet of our human essence, a latent power ready to be awakened.
Being a birth keeper transcends the mere act of doula work and the delivery of babies. It encompasses the sacred duty of safeguarding the passage of souls as they journey from one realm to the next, ensuring their safe arrival in this world. It involves guiding women through the profound, light, and dark transformative depths of labor.
It's a commitment to embrace and honor the eternal cycle of life and death, and to participate in the restoration and preservation of a natural, sacred birthing system that is intrinsic to our very existence.
My approach as a natural birth doula is intuitive, therapeutic, & unique to each woman. My approach helps prepare each woman for birth on a mental, physical, and spiritual level.
Generally, each client will have 3-Prenatal meetings in which they will have a wellness evaluation that will determine the tangible methods we will apply to improve their readiness, fitness, and mindset for birth.
We will assess nutrition needs & cravings, learn hypnobirthing techniques to prepare the mind, introduce prenatal yoga, introduce herbs for pregnancy & birth, practice breathing & moaning techniques for birth, laboring positions, contraction management, birth plan creation, birth partner preparation, and intimate, intentional practices that involve working and becoming aware of the emotions.
Awareness I possess a profound awareness of the inherent birthing rights each woman is entitled to and ardently advocate for informed, intervention-free births.
Community In my role as a birth keeper, it is my solemn duty to support the women within my community, just as our predecessors did long before the birth worker movement became "gatekept."
Empathy As both a mother and an empathetic individual, I have the remarkable ability to understand and connect with each mother on a deep emotional level, enabling me to cater to their unique needs as a doula and advisor.
Honesty I uphold a sacred responsibility to provide unwavering honesty to every mother I serve, whether the truths are pleasant to hear or not. I am committed to self-honesty and transparency about my role within the field of maternal wellness.
Integrity My unwavering commitment to integrity ensures that I consistently do what is morally right, irrespective of the circumstances or challenges I encounter.
Service Serving others is a privilege I hold dear, as it is one of the highest honors an individual can aspire to. Protecting the sacred gateways through which new life enters our world is a profound duty and a privilege I cherish.
