There is no moment more sacred or vulnerable than moments between one breath and the next when life enters this world. Birth is not just biology. It is Spirit choosing to arrive.
Living Light Haven was born because I remember what it felt like not to be held in that sacred moment. I remember birthing my first child without the emotional, spiritual, or ancestral support my soul craved. I created this haven because no one should feel that alone and not during birth, not during becoming.
Why Doulas matter, and always have.
In ancient times, we didn't call them doulas. We called them aunties, mothers, hands that knew. They came with songs, prayers, oils, and silence that held. Today, we call them doulas. And the data is finally catching up to what our ancestors always knew:
- Doulas reduce the chance of cesarean birth by 39%.- Labors supported by doulas are often shorter by 25%.
- There's less need for pain medication and a higher chance of spontaneous vaginal birth
- Most importantly, clients report feeling seen, heard, and empowered.
These aren't just numbers, but they're witnesses. They testify to what happens when we are held.
And Yet, The Truth in Houston
Yes, there is a maternal health crisis.
Yes, Black birthing people in Harris County are facing some of the highest maternal.
Mortality rates in the country, and no, it is unacceptable.
But I will not sell fear. I will not build my offering on panic or pain.
Instead, I offer remembrance. I offer a space where your Orí, your divine head, your sacred compass is honored, where your choices are respected, and where your birth is seen not just as a medical event but as a spiritual unfolding.
What Living Light Haven & Births Means
Living Light is not just a name; it is a frequency.
It means:
- Birth is divine.
- Support is sacred.
- You are not broken, but you are becoming.
It means reclaiming the power of body, voice, womb, and breath.
Whether you are in labor, grief, postpartum fog, or preparing for the unknown, Living Light meets you where you are and walks with you home.
If You Are Reading This...
Let this be your reminder that you are not late, broken, or alone. There are still women walking the path with Light in their hands. There is still a way to birth powerfully and spiritually, whether Medicated or Unmedicated, at a Birth center, or at home. Let's remember that together.
